       In reading Ecclesiastes from our Bibles, particularly chapter 3, we remember that King Solomon famously taught us that everything has its time. In fact, in reading the whole book of Ecclesiastes this theme, and similar thoughts to it, appear over and over. One thing we can take from understanding this knowledge is that we shouldn’t overdo anything in life. We shouldn’t spend too much time on anything. And this includes even things we enjoy for sure. I have seen this in my writing before. I love to write. Actually, I could spend hours writing if I wanted to. But I rarely do. That’s because when I get a heavy dose of writing out of my system, then I find later that I come to loath and despise it the next time it comes to do it. That’s simply because I overdosed the last time. When we do something too much, even something we really like, it causes us pain. For me, I usually only write one hour a day. Sometimes two. I break projects up like this because that way they always stay exciting.
