What does YOUR desk look like?

Remember this quote that is sometimes attributed to Einstein?

And remember that “half full, half empty” glass question?

Maybe we should also be grateful that whether we see our life as “a desk” or as “a glass”, we have been blessed to have one and (cluttered or clean, full or empty) we have the opportunity to choose what we will do with it.

I just finished reading a thought-provoking book “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals” by Olive Burkeman. (Assuming we live to be eighty, we have just over four thousand weeks.)

And it suddenly became very clear to me that what I choose to put on my ‘desk’ or add to my ‘glass’ matters. It’s not the past nor the future that matters, but only this moment, this time, this now.
