Brain Food #395

You can do anything, but not everything

Daily Brain Food.

Thoughts of the day

Today, a short thought on time and infinity, or its absence. Though infinity exists in the universe, it may be hard to accept that it does not for us. How we navigate life becomes a matter of accepting the finiteness of our time here, and choosing how to spend it.

David Allen, author of Getting Things Done, summarises it very concisely:

"You can do anything, but not everything. There is always more to do than there is time to do it, especially in an environment of so much possibility. We all want to be acknowledged; we all want our work to be meaningful. And in attempt to achieve that goal, we all keep letting stuff enter our lives."
