If money had no value, how would you spend your life? Would you continue to go to your work, binge on television series or scroll aimlessly through Instagram, or would you pursue another endeavour?
With everything that has happened over the last two months, I have re-evaluated how I spend my time.
 
With the more recent iPhone update, I found “Screen Time” an introduced setting that records your screen usage. To my horror, I discovered that I use my phone roughly 3 hours a day. Although a lot of the time is spent taking calls for work and checking emails, over the year, this usage will equate to 1095 hours. 45.7-solid-wasted-days!
 
It makes me feel sick knowing that I spent more time on my phone instead of doing something more meaningful. On my way to the hospital to receive my medical results, I scribbled a list on the back of a grocery receipt in desperation. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I incoherently wrote all the things I wanted to see, feel and do. Perhaps it was a plea or a silent prayer to have another chance. To live and experience every messy moment, which comes with being alive. Not unsurprisingly, it didn’t involve being on my phone or doing half the things I spend my time doing.
I wanted to have a slumber party with my grandma like when I was 7-years’ old. Share a kiss that takes my breath away and to watch the sunrise in the wilderness. Observe turtle eggs hatch, experience a traditional tea ceremony and extract honey from a bee-hive. Plant a tree, exhibit some of my photographs and bake a loaf of bread from scratch. To wander the streets aimlessly in Italy, with a book on art-history under my arms.
 
Although this recipe is not bread, it is a loaf of dairy-free banana bread so it must count for something, right? Sweet, moist and completely fluffy  – it’s easy to forget that it’s prepared from whole-wheat flour and is entirely egg-free!
 
Now, to get off my phone and start building a life with meaning! How would you spend an extra 45 days of your time per year? 🙂

    Definitely less time spent on the phone is a good idea. I think so much learning has happened for you since your test results and it can only be a good thing. The bread is made, so you’re on your way to experiencing tea ceremonies and wandering Italy aimlessly! Wishing you a most marvelous end of the year and many more sunrises ahead.
