This is another provocative question sir. I never got to the answer, realising that the reason I don’t have the time is because of the time I waste thinking about what I cannot do because I don’t have the time.
A friend who writes for a living told me she was sick of hearing from non-writers who, to make conversation would say to her: “I’m going to write a book when I have the time”. She confided that there is a lot more to writing a book than simply having time to do it, and if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll find the time.
Time is not the issue, it’s motivation and talent. If you run a small business and don’t keep your accounts up to date, it isn’t because you’re too busy, but it is because you don’t see it as essential. When the taxman wants to look at your books, you will then find the time to put them in order.
