I've had a cold for the past few days and wasted a lot of time. Now I feel like I've wasted the past few days. Anyone else ever get this feeling? They say to live every day like it's your last, but that's not so easy.

Yes I do feel guilty when I waste time. However, taking it easy while your body is sick is not a waste of your time, it's an investment in future time. If you keep going, attempting to ignore an illness, you could be prolonging it, so give yourself a break! Feeling bad is only going to turn your pain into suffering and depress your immune system further.

OK, so obviously your definition of a waste of time & mine are different. If you are sick, & your body needs rest then resting is possibly the most productive thing you can do.
Sure, it may happen to be during a time when you would rather be doing something else, but the unfortunate truth is, we don't get to pick the times we fall ill do we?
Rather than add the frustration of trying to get other things accomplished, it would be more efficient for you to relax, & resign yourself to the idea that you are going to be out of the picture for awhile so that you can speed up your recovery.
So be kind to yourself, and get well soon. :-)

You're probably a Type A personality. You must remember to stop and smell the roses along the way while you are working making a living.
When you are tired your body will tell you when you've been pushing hard for too long. Learn to take the time and relax (look at tv, read, reflect on life, listen to music).
