The ultimate non-renewable resource


Someone once told me there’s only one thing you need and you can accomplishing anything.  Everyone has a limited amount of it and for something so rare it is amazing how I use it at times.  So what could this special non-renewable resource be?  Money, friends, or heart beats?  No, not money, that is a renewable resource – if you run out just print some more.  No, not friends, that too is a more or less infinite resource – if you want more friends you just make more friends.  Heart beats perhaps?  Getting closer, but no it’s not heart beats.  Heart beats might be a limited resource, but exercise and a healthy lifestyle will give you more of the thing I’m actually talking about – it’s Time.

Have you ever thought “if only I had more time”?  At the moment I’m constantly thinking if only I had more time for training, more time to spend with my family, or more time to work on this epic framework.  During working hours I’m pinching an hour here or there between meetings and never seem to have time totally dedicated to this framework.  It’s the same with my training, I line up a number of bike rides and then something ruins my well laid plans.  Just this week the freehub on my bike wore out and that meant it was out of action for a week.  Well now I’m off on holiday for a week and I hope that will be great for the training with lots of rides in the Lake District, but sadly nothing much will happen on the framework – unless you can send me an idea for a thought programming device.
