When the issues of life come barrelling towards us, and deadlines are approaching with the force of freight trains, all the while time is running away from us like an unruly toddler in the supermarket; the urge to pull a Zack Morris and hit life with a “time out,” is tempting.
The thought of having the ability to put life (and all of its moving parts) on hold seems like the perfect solution to the age old problem of so much to do so little time. Having everything stand still while you churn out projects, assignments, and products – letting you be ever prepared and ever ahead of the curve. While the implementation of such a mechanism is nothing more than a fantasy at this point, many of us find ourselves wishing life would slow down so we can catch and/or keep up. In a time of stress this seems like a good idea, but is this what you really want?
Really think about it. If you have been waiting for the right opportunity for years - putting in the work so that when it arrives you will be ready – time slowing down is actually a delay to the arrival of that opportunity, more than it is a chance for you to be prepared. If time seems to be slipping away from you, refocus and restrategise. Get better organised and employ laser focus on the tasks you put your hands and mind to. When things start spinning at a speed that you cannot maintain, take a time out. Put your mind in time out, take a day off, or schedule a few hours at least one day in the work week to pamper yourself. Once you’ve rested a while, get back at it with renewed clarity and achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
You may not be able to Zack Morris time, but you can Zack Morris your racing thoughts and flustered mind. Whenever you need to, take a mental time out.
