Is " I did not have time" a catch all phrase?Do we have time or just did not want to do it in the first place?

Question

I know for me if I did not want to do it...what ever ""IT"" was...I just say I did not have time to do it.
Do we only run out of time to do the things we did not want to do in the first place?

This is just a question...just woundering how others feel about the I did not have time to do it phrase.
If we have time to sit on the computer why didn't we have time to clean the house...you know stuff like that.
Did we just not want to clean in the first place??? I say yes.

Answer 1

Yes. "I did not have time" is a bit deceptive. The point is that we all have time at our disposal. We simply choose how to spend it. You prioritize and do what you deem important (or what you feel like doing) & let the other things go. "I did not have time" simply means that whatever it was that they were supposed to do didn't make the cut because either they chose to do other things and ran out of time, or they didn't want to do it at all & are just making an excuse.

There never seem to be enough hours in the day in our busy lives between work & taking care of the house & phone calls etc etc...but somehow we still make time for things if they matter to us. It can just be a challenge when your life is over-scheduled.

Answer 2

We just didn't want to do it. It's typical for us human to procrastinate. We like to just blame it on something when we messed up and the excuses are lame most of the time. But, don't worry, you're not alone. Almost 100% of mankind do, so lighten up. TRY your best to do it the next time come around before you start asking this question again. I said TRY, not promise or guarantee.
