It is all about priorities and personal desires. As Bryan said, we all have the same 24 hours each day. We have time for whatever we want to do. What we choose to spend that time on is up to us. Good message Aaron. I agree. It is all about priorities and personal desires. As Bryan said, we all have the same 24 hours each day. We have time for whatever we want to do.

I learned to soften my approach, though. Since it is a matter of priorities and everyone is used to hearing the phrase "I don't have time," as long as I know that it means that whatever I've mentioned to someone isn't a priority to them, then I can address the fact that it's not a priority to them, not the semantics. As Hyrum Smith (the modern one - the one that created the Franklin Company) said, it's socially unacceptable to say "Sorry. That's just not a priority for me." I agree. I know what it means. They may not realize what they're saying, but it really is about priorities.

I never use that phrase and I say "I didn't get to it" or "I didn't MAKE time for it." Because it is almost always a matter of priority. I decided the same thing a few years ago.

We make time for those activities which are most important to us -- if we don't make time then we don't care. But I am sure you are know, as I am finding out, that between a house, career and new baby that life becomes pretty hectic!!
