space or time, which is the more important?
Today I had an ephiphany of sorts, while observing the leftovers in my refrigerator. I'm a live-at-home college student and my stepmother has a tendency to downsize her leftovers. By that, I mean she'll start off with say, half a pot of perogies. They go into a medium-large sized bowl. Whenever some of the leftovers get eaten, she downsizes the bowl. By the end of the process there is usually one or two perogies left on a small plate in our refrigerator.
It's such a contrast in our personalities in the strangest way. She would rather take up a generous amount of time switching and washing and putting away a series of dishes to store one item of leftovers. I'd rather take up a little extra space in the 'fridge than spend any amount of time downsizing leftovers.
Which would you rather do? Think of it in life terms, not perogie terms. Think of it in terms of events or challenges or a series of happenings to be taken care of. Would you rather work at things little by little, reducing by small amounts to make a change? Or would you rather 'take up space' in your life leaving time to take care of things one by one?
