How Do We Structure our Average Day?

How do we structure our Average Day?

5 min Read

How you spend each day determines your destiny in the long run.

I visited one of my kids in school and was given their report card. I was less than impressed by the results but I cannot blame the kid. I have not taught the kid how to seize and structure their day.

You have heard of the Latin phrase ‘Carpe Diem’ Seize the Day. The most successful individuals systemize their lives to seize their days and shape their destinies.

Britannica Encyclopedia Definition  Carpe diem | Origin, Meaning, Uses, Examples, & Facts | Britannica

Carpe diem, (Latin: “pluck the day” or “seize the day”) phrase used by the Roman poet Horace to express the idea that one should enjoy life while one can.

Carpe diem is part of Horace’s injunction “carpe diem quam minimum credula postero,” which appears in his Odes (I.11), published in 23 BCE. It can be translated literally as “pluck the day, trusting as little as possible in the next one.” The phrase carpe diem has come to stand for Horace’s entire injunction, and it is more widely known as “seize the day.”

  1. My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

    1. Hi, I have not tried the blogengine.net platform but if you have the budget and the reviews are positive, I would try moving one site for a trial run.

  2. Hi! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
    My blog discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we could
    greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel
    free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Fantastic blog by the way!

  3. I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours as of late, yet I never found
    any fascinating article like yours. It is beautiful worth sufficient for me.

    Personally, if all website owners and bloggers
    made good content as you did, the internet will probably be a
    lot more useful than ever before.

  4. Howdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and
    let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly.
    I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

  5. I do not even know how I finished up here, however I believed this publish used to be good.
    I do not know who you’re however definitely you
    are going to a famous blogger in the event you are not already.

  6. Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Does building a well-established blog like yours require a massive amount work?
    I am brand new to blogging but I do write in my diary daily.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand
    new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

    1. Thanks for the compliment. Building a blog takes time you just have to be devoted to the task and set a schedule and stick to it. It’s as simple as that plugging it in your calendar and execute the writing task once it comes up. This should be done whether or not you feel up to the task don’t rely on your moods to get the task accomplished.
