    I recently did a time diary project looking at 1,001 days in the lives of extremely busy women. They had ____ jobs, sometimes their own businesses, kids to care for and maybe parents to care for. I had them record their ______ for a week so I could ______ how much they worked and slept, and I ______ them about their strategies (策略) for my book.

One of the ______ whose time log (时间记录) I studied goes out on a Wednesday night for something. She comes home to find that her water heater has ______, and there is now water all over her basement. If you’ve ever had anything like this ______ to you, you know it is a hugely ______ and frightening mess (杂乱). So she’s cleaning up the basement that night, next day she’s got repairmen coming in, the day after that, a professional cleaning team ______ the ruined carpet. All this is being ______ on her time log. All this takes seven hours of her week. Seven hours. That’s like finding a(n) ______ hour in the day.

______, I’m sure if you had asked her at the ______ of the week, “Could you find seven hours to train for a triathlon (铁人三项)?” “Could you find seven hours to advise seven worthy people?” I’m sure she would have said what most of us would’ve said, which is, “No, can’t you see how ______ I am?” Yet when she had to find seven hours because there was water all over her ______, she found seven hours.

What this shows us is that time is ______ elastic (有弹性的). We cannot ______ more time, but time will stretch to fit in ______ we choose to put into it.

It’s about looking at the whole of our time and seeing when we can do what we want to do. I truly ______ this. There is time. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters. And when we ______ what matters, we can build the lives we want in the time we’ve got.
