I must be intentional with my time, I think
In an activity that is simply a time sink
I should not indulge myself, I must use
The hours wisely, I should mindfully choose
To spend my time more productively
To design my life as I want it to be
I must minimize distractions of all kinds
I should keep my overarching goal in mind..

This is what all self-help guides tell me
No doubt it is good advice, but I see
Myself leading life as if on a mission
When I try to follow this advice with precision
I become ruthless with myself and try to limit
Everything non-essential just to fit
Every important thing that I need to do
Into twenty-four hours, cutting out leisure too
But… life is miserable if I over-structure my day
I need time to let my mind wander away
Some goals I may not achieve, it’s true
But I need to waste some time too…
Passion...unbridled
