Today, I’ve come across an inspiring blog where the author spoke of less and more and why it is of the essence. Let’s face it. Most people nowadays have become too absorbed with the hustle and bustle of life as if it’s ‘cool’ to be so. Women for instance have embraced multiple roles as a mother, wife, friend, daughter, sister, partner, worker, etc.

Now it isn’t cool anymore if you have no time to make yourself beautiful. This brings to mind one television show where the host said “kapag ikaw ay isang misis at pumangit ka, kasalanan mo na yun” (if you’re a wife and you became ugly, that’s your fault). Balancing the scale means learning to allot specific time and space for the self.

But change must begin from within, so they say. And that made me ponder time management seriously. I also am looking at my organizing skills, my propensity to brood over insignificant matters. I am crossing my fingers for this less and more list to work!

Facebook less, blog more
worry less, enjoy more
eat less, treadmill more
hate less, love more
watch TV late less, sleep more
sit less, walk more
hoard less, share more
cry less, smile more
rice less, fruits and vegetables more
shop less, save more
complain less, thank more
criticize less, praise more
work less, play more
whine less, pray more

How about you? Do you keep a list of your less and more?
