time management trouble: Is this a little thing?

[RainDoeSprinkles]

Hello little friends! As I continue to explore and discover my identity as a little/middle, I have started to wonder: could my problems with time management be related to my littleness? I know it might sound weird, but I seem to have a mindset that dwells outside of time. I take a long time to get get ready for things and I tend to run late a lot. I marvel at other people's ability to get so much done in a day. I have non-little friends who can juggle so many responsibilities! I am just not cut out for that! Do you think this is something common to us littles? Is it a natural part of littleness? If you are little and you experience this too, please jump up and wave!

I know other littles that are organized and mostly have no time management issues. And I know lots of non-littles who have all kinds of probles with being organized and tons of trouble with time management issues. It boils down to each of us having different strengths and weaknesses no matter if you are little or not. I believe each of us can train ourselves to be more organized and better with time management. For some it comes easier than others. I hope this helps. There is nothing wrong with you.

Some people might have a harder time concentrating. ADD or other causes can effect that ability to concentrate. I'm not sure if a greater number of little's have that than the regular population but something like it might contribute to that for some people. 

 

It's also a likely trend from our use of electronics and always on media, where people get small dopamine hits endlessly from every new thing they click or article or video they see. It's not fulfilling, but time passes me by sometime and i'm sure its affecting a lot of people in our society.

This is an interesting topic, it made me think about things in my own life: for me it goes like this, when I'm in little space time literally doesn't exist. I am free to do what feels good, no care or responsibility involved.

Any other time I have great, and I mean it, great organizational and executive skills. And I hate being late. I don't do late..

I hope more people chime in! I’m interested in reading more thoughts/opinions on the time management issue that the OP brought up.

Friendly reminder to stay on topic.

Thanks for your responses! I gave it some more thought and came to realize this: since realizing my littleness, I have become kinder to myself, and have allowed myself room to breathe and relax. I don't race the clock like I used to, and I dont measure the quality of my day by the number of things I have checked off my list. So I think this is probably a natural part of figuring out my identity and how it works in daily life. As I get further along and more settled in as a little, it will probably balance out more and more. I can definitely get stuff done when I need to!

I appreciate your comments! Evie, what you said both validated my sense of timelessness, and challenged me to improve my timeliness! I do think there is a time and place for both. Being able to let go and freely enjoy being little is so good for us. Yet, as a responsible adult, I need to stay on track when required to do so. Thank you! I feel very encouraged.

My comments have been deemed not pertaining to the subject matter on hand, but I would like to add that sure, we're responsible adults untill we're not: there are arrangements of 24/7, or gradually growing time for little space, but otherwise I agree. xx

I suppose it could be a little related thing. I usually like to think that I stay pretty well organized and even leave for events and meetings very early to ensure I am not late. I do not like to feel rushed and feel horrible when I forget something. However, when I am in my little space, time becomes irrelevant. In my little space, I want to do what I want to do. Maybe this is just me, but when I am in my little space, I like to make sure that I can thoroughly enjoy it without any responsibilities looming over my head. In a way, I suppose the adult and responsible side of me makes time and ensures my little side has time to come out to play.

Oh boy! I sure send you lots of sunshine and sprinkles and good wishes! Hope it gets better at school for you!! Since coming into my littleness, I have had to accept that maybe I just need more time for my tasks, so I am adjusting my schedule in a way that makes it manageable. I am also limiting the amount of time I spend online. That seems to be helping!
