"Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense." Gertrude Stein

Wow.  How relevant is that in our lives, in our world right now? We are bombarded with information, news, ideas, opinions–what do we do with it all?

There is now way that we can take it all in, even though, deep down, we think we can.  Deep down, we all think that if we just have the right system, the right “time management program,” the right “organizational system,” that we will actually catch up.

We won’t.  You cannot read everything, listen to everything, and take in everything that you want to.  Nor should you try.  This is our opportunity to really reflect on what is important and what we really want in our lives.  If you cannot listen to everything, what do you truly want to spend your precious time listening to?  If you cannot read everything, what do you really want to spend your time reading?

How do you truly want to spend your time?
