Raise your hand if you look at the clock in the middle of the night and calculate how much time till you need to roll out of bed….

This happens to me EVERY-SINGLE-NIGHT…I try to say to myself “you don’t have a set time to get up” or “you can sleep as late as you want” but try as I might I still lay there and add up how many hours it’s been since I put down my book or how many hours till I need to get up.

As I was laying in bed the other night, well actually it was around 3am, this blog post popped into my mind. I got to thinking that it’s not only watching the clock and calculating how much time to sleep but also how long it will take me to…do the laundry…drive to town…weed the flower beds…you name it…I spend precious time calculating time. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that does this but I have to wonder why we do it…why are we always chasing the clock and calculating time.

I’m going to try and break this habit…mostly because I think it’s what keeps me from falling back to sleep easily but also because I want to enjoy the now and not watch the clock and calculate my time away.
