So, now when some friend calls and asks me to go out, I kinda refuse without too much hesitation! I realized that as we grow we value time in a whole different way - I never understood why my mom and dad always wanted to go in the mountain house and stay there for a long time (when you are 13 years of age), as I always thought 'you get bored without friends' and I hadn't discovered the guitar yet at that age. But now, I would run away with my guitar and gear only, straight to the mountain house as fast as you can say 'bend' How about you guys - How do you feel about the way you value time, as you get older?

This requires me to spend lot of time with guitar and computer, but in the same time, I find a way to be free at some nights, go hang out a bit, travel a bit, just spend a day quietly in nature, on countryside, these things refresh the mind (and I bring my netbook always just in case ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Once you have children your time belongs to them, and the funny thing is you really don't mind it. As an example, I spend an hour a day sitting at the piano with my son going over his lessons with him and helping where I can (I don't play piano). In the end.. its all good because your biggest joys will come from seeing them happy and accomplish stuff. Gary You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I like this topic. I would say, I can be guilty of obsessing over details and tasks that nobody else worries about.. and as a result the evenings can draw in with no personal time. In the last year or so I've had to start making an actual decision to have some 'non working time' and it works. If you devote a lot of time to things, it can be a band, friends etc.. then you can decide to take some time for yourself (or yourself and partner etc) without any guilt.

A lil bit of "selfish" never hurts i think. Everything in moderation....except for Guitar, that can be done to excess You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

In my country and town, most people waste way too much time going on coffee, drinks, hanging out and so did I. But I visited London a few months ago, and I was stunned to see how everything was more organized there, and how people wasted less time and worked more, while here people go out and talk about doing stuff, but never really do it. So now I tend to refuse those time-wasting useless chit chat sessions and concentrate more on something better to devote my time to. It sure pays off! However that doesn't mean one should become completely asocial You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I seek advice from people who are wiser and more experienced than I am, who have achieved what I want to achieve or who simply live life their way...but I don't take unwanted advice from so-called friends who say "I wouldn't do this and that" anymore Since I am new to the city I live in now and therefore don't have friends around, I can do whatever I like with my time at the moment, I wanna spend it wisely by exercising, playing guitar, reading and learning new languages. And my job is kinda time consuming...just spent the week at a real estate fair in Munich, then visited my friends and family in my hometown Muenster (now that was some quality time!) and am just back in Rottweil again...with my bass and my two other guitars...now my flat looks really good!
