(Clearwisom.net) I always feel that I spend too little time in doing the three things, especially studying the Fa and doing the exercises. I sometimes find a tiny bit of time to do these two things, just to say I did them. One day, I was doing housework. Suddenly, an idea jumped into my mind, "Why don't I finish all housework in a set amount of time?" So I told myself I would finish all housework in 20 minutes. As a result, I really finished it in that time.
From this, I realized that we can plan and control our time. If I do not have a conscious intention to finish the work in a short time, I may spend one hour, even two hours on it. That is time wasted that I could actually use to do the three things. I wasted so much time like this, and as result, didn't have time to do the three things well.
I used to have an incorrect notion. I thought there was no need to do trivial things well, such as housework. It seemed I could apparently do the three things very seriously with this kind of comparison. However, since I was not serious in doing trivial things, I was tardy and my efficiency was very low, which directly affected my studying the Fa and practicing the exercises.
Now, whenever I do something, I concentrate on it and finish it with great efficiency. I calm down, plan my time well and make full use of every minute. In this way, I am able to save more time to do the three things.
In the final analysis, my attachments to curiosity, being meddlesome, and having a desire for comfort made trouble for me. As long as we eliminate these attachments, the interfering evil forces will lose their strength, their air to breathe, and will finally suffocate and die.
