Time Is Not The Same As Capacity
Having time is not the same as having capacity.
That thought has been running through my brain since morning.
You see, yesterday I spent the day playing a video game all day, then a board game, and some Netflix.
I’ve never had a day like that before in my life.
So when I woke today, and saw the laundry that still needed doing, and an orange ring beginning to form in the toilet, I felt pangs of guilt.
“I had so much time to do these things and I wasted it” was my thought.
Because I always feel like that’s why I can’t stay on top of things. I simply don’t have time.
But that isn’t true.
I do have time.
I have ability, too.
I just don’t have capacity.
Emotionally or physically, doesn’t matter which or why.
I’m tired.
I’m losing sleep.
And I’m balancing the best I can.
So I played video games.
I got up today and began work.
I washed my hair, threw in a load of laundry before I grabbed my coffee.
For I might have all the time, I may have the ability, but I do not have all the capacity.
And that’s ok.
