Savings With Jess

This is an interesting question because I haven’t actually thought about it. We always say how we wish there were more hours in a day, 24 hours just aren’t enough, etc. I say it all the time, but I never really think about what I would do with more hours aside from actually get my daily to-do list fully done.

I wish I had more time to sit down and read for a few hours every day. I used to be an avid reader. When I was younger, I read all the books my house had – sometimes twice. We had a “library room” filled with bookshelves and books.

I even run a book review Instagram account, but it’s been neglected for a while because life is just so busy! I am a mom and wife and we are always on the go. I am a SAHM and spend most of my days cleaning house, meal planning, playing taxi for all of our scheduled appointments and events, etc. I end up feeling guilty if I sit down and read instead of catching up on laundry or scooping the litter or cleaning the bathrooms.

I think we live in a society where the idea of never slowing down is glorified because we have to be “boss babes” all the time – but we really need to try and slow down and rest. Pick up a good book and get lost in it for a while. If I had more time, I would do that daily. I suppose making time to do it at least twice a week will have to be enough for now. 😊

What do you wish you could do more of every day?
