Debt (Time Debt, that is) Free

Debt (Time Debt, that is) Free
"There is just not enough!"
During these past few years of recession, this complaint has become a part of our conversations about money. We don't have enough to pay all our credit cards. We haven't saved enough for college. Our budget doesn't have enough at the end of the month for extras. Many of us have had a wake up call to get our finances in order -- mostly by living within our means.
We use the phrase, "there is just not enough...," in other conversations as well -- when we talk about time. It seems that in addition to our financial debt, many of us are also in time debt. We can't get everything done! We have overspent the hours we are given each day by committing to more than we can physically, emotionally and logistically accomplish. The feelings we are left with mirror the feelings of unpaid bills: fear, confusion, sadness, frustration, exhaustion.
One solution is to solve our Time Debt the way advisors tell us to pay off Financial Debt -- with a step-by-step management approach:
- Set a goal. Resolve to do whatever it takes to have free time in your life.
- See the truth. Assess your situation. Be honest with yourself about your mounting Time Debts.
- Prioritize. Address projects with serious consequences first, then move down the list of priorities.
- Just Say No. Let go of things you don't really want to do or weren't asked to do.
- Get Help. Relationships are built on shared endeavors. Ask others for advise and support.
- Celebrate Success. Enjoy your new-found free time with people you love!
Time debt can be just as debilitating as Financial Debt. Maybe it's time for you to really be Debt Free!
When We Manage Our Time Debts, We Can Be a Blessing!

Nobel Winner Removed From Bank He Founded
02 Mar 21:56
![]()
The government of Bangladesh is trying to remove Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunis from the bank he founded nearly three decades ago to help the country's poorest people. Grameen Bank pioneered the use of micro-loans to give the poor an opportunity to start small businesses or make other sound investments in their future. These loans are almost always repaid in full and on time. The government says Yunis has violated laws setting a mandatory retirement age of 60. But many suspect the government is merely trying to gain full control of a politically powerful organization, which serves some 8 million borrowers, most of them women. Some critics also suggest that authorities are punishing Yunis for his outspoken criticism of government corruption. Grameen is expected to challenge his dismissal in the courts.
