life is short if you're lucky you got around 880 years let's deduct the first 20 years where you're lost in your little bubble and another 10 years where you're figuring out how to survive outside this bubble so let's say you're 30 you got around 50 years left which might seem like a lot but that's only another 50 Summers and another 50 times you get to play Monopoly on Christmas day now speaking of Christmas as you get older you'll start seeing your parents and family a lot less maybe just once or twice a year during the
festive break so in reality you'll only see them another 10 to 20 times and even then you'll be on your phone rather than being fully in the moment because the problem is we act like we're going to live forever and waste majority of our time chasing the wrong things or thinking about the past and worrying about the future rather than actually living in the moment so if time is our most valuable resource how do we spend it more wisely well here are three things which will change the way you think about time imagine yourself on
your deathbed taking your last breath in that moment will you think I wish I worked extra hard in my career and had the word senior or chief in my job title I highly doubt it in instead you'll probably think I wish I spent more time with my family and friends but by then it'll be too late the only people who will remember your long hours is your family not your boss or co-workers in fact by then they probably won't even remember your name so learn to prioritize your time don't waste it on things that won't
matter at the end of your life being busy doesn't necessarily mean you're being productive now speaking of family and relationships according to our world and data as kids we spend most of our time with family as we enter adolesence we start spending more time with friends then fast forward to adulthood we spend majority of our time with our partner and maybe with kids of our own around the same time we spend a significant amount of hours with our co-workers but as we age and reach postretirement our Social Circle starts to reduce maybe our kids have
moved out and our partner is no longer around so we end up spending most of this time alone if this isn't how you want your life to play out then you need to start investing in relationships that bring you the most Joy because those you love won't be around forever now spending your entire life chasing money just so you can buy a slightly bigger box is probably the easiest way to waste your life however if you use money wisely it can provide the best leverage Against Time for example if something takes you 10 hours to
complete but someone can do it in half the time or they're just better than you in that particular thing then Outsourcing these tasks would be a pretty good return on investment especially if your 10 hours are worth more than the cost of the service either literally in monetary terms or in terms of Peace of Mind knowing you've got an expert doing the job rather than you taking shortcuts and hoping your house doesn't blow up at night similarly when you start viewing time as a currency you'll think twice before spending 50,000 on a flashy car as
in reality you're not paying 50k you're giving away 1 to three years of your life just to pay for a fancy logo so maybe the old saying time is money wasn't so wrong after all in short your time here is limited you can either waste it chasing the wrong things or invest in things which make life a bit more meaningful ultimately if everything is a priority nothing is a priority so Choose Wisely
