“I don’t have time for that” can be a powerful time management tool. Somewhere close by must be another tool, an affirmation. “This is what I have time for.”

As I am writing these words, I have a list of options. Projects that need my attention. People that need my answers. What do I have time for? The options can be paralyzing.

Buried in that statement is a play on words.

It’s not just “What do you have time for” as a comment on the available quantity. It is also a statement about why I have time at all. This is why I have time and life and breath. This is why I have been given existence.

So, what do you have time for?
