When employed correctly, time becomes an amplifier. When spent without consideration, it becomes a persistent source of regret.
Investing in Learning: The upfront costs are real and visible and, like any investment, the future payoff is uncertain. So we tend to skim the surface, thinking this will “save us time” versus doing the real work. Yet this surface-based approach leads to no improvement in our ability to make decisions. In fact, it may harm us if we think we’ve learned something for real. Thus, surface learning is a true waste of time. It’s just that the link to our bad learning is unclear, so we rarely identify the root cause.
Relationships: We’re often too “busy”
to spend time with the ones we care about. The very parent at the park playing
on his iPhone while his children run around playing and laughing is the same
one, who, when you fast-forward the axis of time, wants those precious moments
back. Likewise, the “busy” 30-something who can’t make time to see their
parents wishes to have them back after they’re gone. They wish for more time
with them.
Time is invisible, so it’s easy to spend. It’s only near the end of our life that most of us will realize the value of time. Make sure you’re not too busy to pay attention to life.
Wealth is created not by spending your time
making money but rather by saving your time to make money
