Time is a precious commodity and in short supply
Therefore every hack to save time I try to apply
To my daily routine, be intentional with every move
I am constantly thinking of ways to improve
The length of time I take to complete any task
Hoping that in the glory of leisure time I would bask
One evening, when all my chores are completed satisfactorily
I would sit back and relax, read and sip my tea..
*
At completing tasks fast I have acquired considerable skill
Yet I seem to have more and more work to fill
The finite amount of time I possess
The imaginary leisure time over which I obsess
I have never found, work fills it up in some way
I don’t feel that productive but I am working all day…
*
I am tired of pushing myself constantly
To complete work faster, no benefit I see
To my well-being by being on this hamster wheel
Therefore today I have decided to steal
A few moments of leisure in the midst of my chores
I am sitting down with a cup of tea, I am not going to think any more
About work until I am relaxed and completely satisfied
With this little break, quite hard I have tried
To place work above my needs, but I have lost
A sense of balance, and incurred a heavy cost
To my physical, mental and emotional wellness
But now I am determined to reverse this process..
