Never Be "Waiting" ... ⏳

This is a placeholder for a post I desperately want to write to communicate with my children. ref: #606

I discovered very early on that "waiting" is another way of saying "Killing Time". Never Ever "Kill Time"!
You don't have enough of it to waste any ...
If you believe you "only live once" then Time is your most precious [priceless] non-renewable resource.
When you run out of time you die and that's it for ever. No second chance at life.

Not trying to "pick" on anyone, this is just for my own reference.

Never be "waiting".
Always have something that you can be doing while something else is "pending".
Read through the backlog of tasks that you have to do.
If your backlog is empty [that's another discussion ... how?! 🤷‍♂️], pick something off the collective backlog.
If someone is late for a meeting, open your notebook and write whatever you are thinking.
If you aren't thinking anything in particular, open your reading book and read! 📖
If you aren't carrying a reading book, fix that. 📔
Yes, you can read books on your Smart Phone, but not without getting distracted ... carry a physical book. 📘
