The time-quality balance

Well, the way I see it is that there are some things that I have to do.

I have to sleep. I have to work. I have to travel to work. I have to eat.

So sleeping takes 6-8 hours a night.
Work takes up between 40 and 55 hours a week.
Travel to work and back, around 15 hours a week.
Eating and cooking - well that just depends.
Computer time at home... too much!

My theory is this, prioritise the quality of those basic necessities that take up so much time and life just feels better. I have invested in the best bed I can, the most comfortable computer chair available to me, those essential items of interest and entertainment in my bag for the commute, and the most enjoyable and satisfying job I can find. All in all, things are just fine.

But the most varied, and one which perhaps takes up too much of my time, has to be cooking and eating! You have to do it, it affects our daily state, physically and mentally, and it has to be done.

It's a hobby, it's beyond necessity - it's a daily pleasure... and it makes me popular with my friends. So... PJ, KP, Minter and Zoe... this is for you! May your roasts be tender, your cakes always rise, and your stomachs bulge!

With love,

Jane
