“If you really want it, you’ll find time.”
I think we've all heard that sentence. And... I’ve never really agreed with that.
Because the truth is, I want a lot of things.
There are so many things I’d like to learn, explore, try… and I know I won’t have time for all of them in one lifetime.
And I think that’s actually normal.
So instead of feeling like you should be able to do everything, maybe the question is just: what matters right now?
Not forever, not perfectly, but just for a period of time.
Three months, six months, one or two years... it's up to you.
Giving yourself that kind of timeframe changes something. It makes things feel more realistic, more grounded.You’re not trying to do everything. You’re just choosing where to put your energy for now.
And that also takes away a lot of guilt.
Because I think that’s where many people get stuck.
They don’t just feel busy, they feel like they’re not doing enough.
Not consistent enough. Not disciplined enough.
But honestly, life is not that clean.
Some weeks are productive. Others are not.
Sometimes you have time. Sometimes you don’t. And that's completely normal.
I don’t think consistency means doing something every single day.
I think it’s more about coming back to it.
Even after a break.
Even after a busy period.
Even when it feels a bit harder to start again.
That, to me, shows real interest.
It’s a bit like going back to the gym after you stopped for a while.
The hardest part is not the routine, it’s the moment you decide to start again.
I’ve also learned that more time doesn’t always mean better results.
At some point, I used to push myself to study for hours.
Trying to remember everything, repeating, forcing it.
And most of the time… I would forget a lot of it the next day.
Now I do things very differently.
I prefer shorter moments, but more focused.
For example, I like doing more demanding work in the morning, when I have energy.
But when it comes to remembering things, I’m much better in the evening, in a quiet and more relaxed setting.
It’s slower, but it stays.
And I think that’s something very personal.
Some people like to review during their commute.
Others leave notes around their space.
Some prefer mornings, others evenings.
There’s no single “right” way.
What matters more is finding something that fits your life.
Because being busy doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t learn.
In some ways, it can even help.
When you don’t have much time, you tend to focus more.
You go straight to what matters. You don’t overcomplicate things.
Of course, if you’re constantly exhausted, it’s different.
But most of the time, it’s not about having more time.
It’s about using the time you have in a way that actually works for you.
So maybe learning something new is not about adding more into your schedule.
Maybe it’s just about adjusting how you approach it.
Choosing what matters for now.
Letting go of the pressure to do everything.
And finding a way to keep going, even if it’s not perfect.
That’s also something I pay attention to in my lessons.
Not just what you need to learn, but how it can fit into your life, so you can actually keep doing it.
See you soon.
