[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1522150, member: 17843"] I am usually doing something, but I do feel like I am in control of my time a lot more than most people. Aside from my public career, I’m not involved in anything with a tight schedule. I don’t have to be here, there, or yonder at a certain time every day. I also don’t have too many “iron in the fire” so to speak. My farm is set up so that not a lot is “pressing.” I just don’t run that big of an operation because I don’t want to be on the go all the time. If I’m in hay, or if cattle are sick, that needs to be done then, but if I bush-hog the back fields today, tomorrow, or next week, it really isn’t going to make that much difference, and there isn’t a bunch of other stuff piling up if I do wait until next week; so, I don’t feel like I’m running at 10mph and chasing something running 20mph all the time. As for how to slow down and have more free time, I really wouldn’t know what to suggest to people who have been in the rat race all their life. I never took part in it from the beginning, so it just seems natural to me to not be super busy all the time. It never made sense to me to have so much going on in my life that I could barely take a deep breath, so I never participated. I think it seems logical that with all the modern advancements that makes things more efficient and less time consuming, we would have more free time on our hands than our grandparents generation, but most have figured out how to not let that happen.
