I always feel like I am in a hurry. I am always speeding hehehe shouldn't do but can't help. If I am going to the store I always feel like there is one million other things I have to get done before I go to sleep. Low and behold something will catch my eye and I'll have to do that for the longest time, finally I get it finished, and there is something else. My husband is constantly telling me that it's ok and things will get done in time, and to take it easy and relax, but I really don't think it's in my agenda. lol. That should be a New Years Resolution for me this year, try to take a break, and relax a little bit, don't be so rushed. Well see how it goes and I'll be sure to post about it. Great discussion.

Yes i know i`ve always been in a hurry with everything but now at age 73 and healthy i`m starting to correct being in a hurry. I think it can the responsibility of parents and teachers upbringing and myself. Being the youngest of four boys and a dominating older brother didn`t help. I believe idealism and perfectionism can play a big part in it also and can cause stress and illness. Accepting one`s physical and mental capabilities, as much as possible, is essential.

I always feel like am in a hurry when am at work. It's just that I have been pressured as to how I'd get to accomplish my tasks. It seems like time is very essential for me while working. I am a typical slow-mover because of my being OC at times but when am at work it seems like i need to hurry up on everything. I always take this as an advantage though because I get to think very fast in terms of making decisions.:)

I do always feel like I'm in a hurry. I can't relax or slow down. I'm always thinking about stuff. And I'm always worrying. That is just how I am. I can never enjoy anything. It's always on to the next thing! :(

Hello apples99 I should be really slim for all the hurrying around that I do! Having 3 young boys certainly keeps you on your toes that's for sure. When they are at school I am cleaning my house and doing food shopping. Then it is picking them all up from different schools at different times, then there are the different clubs and activities, cooking dinner. My weekends are still hectic, catching up on washing and ironing of clothes, ready to start the week again!!

Yeah, all the time.. I'm always in a hurry. I value time, for me Time is Gold. I'm not like other who always find time for themselves.. I don't like even go for dating as much as possible or spending leisure time. I don't want to missed time.. I hate it when i find myself sleepy..I always wanted to walk up early to finish things early. but i've got some problems in my health...I feel always sleepy and tired.

yes having 5 little kids,i've always feel i was in a hurry to do things. I feel that 24 hours is not enough to do all the things for my family. I always wake up 5:00 o'clock in the morning and start on that day my work at home never stop.. I start with my days in preparing my husband's things for the job, then when my hubby is on the job i'll make my nursery boy also prepared for his school then i took him at his school and waiting for him for 2 hours and when i got home my 2nd daughter in elementary making appoint that she's also ready for his elementary school that her paper works for schools are done..I took her to school then. after i bring my daughter for school i prepare my triplets for bath time, for lunch, and for bed time. and if they got to bed i let my self to clean up my home...whuuh lots of work to do. that's why i feel i'm always in a hurry.. but i'm happy doing that things because i know that is a role of a mother.

I sometimes feel like I'm in a hurry. Sometimes I have so many things to do that doing other tasks just doesn't feel worth it because I feel like I don't have time to do those things because I can't get things done if I take breaks to eat or whatever. I wish I wasn't so on the go all the time.

I am always in a hurry. I usually have so much to do, but there are times where I just sit back, take a deep breath, close my eyes, think about things that are positive and move on. I try to stay organized, but when I look at my home office, I say, "Oh my gosh, this is not me." However, America is a rat race and American society seems like it can't and will not slow down. Because of this, we are unable to slow down as individuals. It is in our nature and we are just going to have to deal with it. This is something that I have to say that proves we are always in a hurry....the driver who can't stand the driver in front who is going a bit slower and passes that driver to only arrive at a red light. When this happens to me, all I can do is laugh. I then pull next to the driver, glance over and start busting out with a laugh. This is not to do harm but to show them that we have to slow down sometimes and think things through.

I am that kind of person like use the shortest time to finish all the works, and using the left ones relaxing. So I usually make a plan before setting out. So when i started to work, I will always be busy. Though people around me think there is no need for me accompilsh things in such a hurry, I have enough to to make them one by one and have a untight life. But unfirtunately, I do not like this. I think make full use of the time is important, and I try my best to stay less time in the lab, for I believe the atomsphere there is not good to my body.

I use to be like that earlier. i never enjoyed my life and was always busy doing one thing or the other. whenever i had free time i stated doing another thing and was always in a hurry to complete it. but now i have slowed down in life and enjoy evey bit of my life. now i have realized that it is more fun to do things when you do them slowly and with care, now i feel that i am more productive than i earlier was. My advice would be to enjoy and feel every second and never be in state of panic.

Yes. But i have analyze the situation on my experience,finding that its my fault. 1. Preparedness. I keep on worrying, hurrying for something i miss, focusing on something i left where it bugging me to look for it, then i finally find out my eyeglass is nesting on my hair, my pen with it, or sometimes i forgot what am i looking for. If i prepared early i will not miss anything, before going to bed for a sleep, i make sure things are in order, even my clothes to wear, and make a checklist for the next day routine, double check what i did today so that i can add what i miss.Pray and be thankful to God. 2. Presentation. Make sure what the agenda is and if project presentation, i make sure all the details and porfolio for it are all done, make an outline what to say, and all plans (plan A,B,C) and prepare for whatever question may rise from it.Pray and be thankful to God. 3. Exam. If you dont want to scatter your thoughts outside, try to read everyday, advance your learning, keep focus of your subjects, scan your notes and rest early, then began an early morning review, do it casually.Don't ever miss to pray and thanking God. 4. Relax. If you are really so in a hurry. Pause a while, breathe inhale and exhale 5x, take a seat, be silent for a minute, drink a glass of water, calm down and relax. Then think : Checklist and prepare to have it with you. Dont panic with Time. If done, before you leave the house, pause for a prayer. When you reach your office or school, exercise a silent prayer, and relax.
