Don't waste your time

in #life7 years ago

Time is the most important resource we have because it’s limited. We don’t know how much time we have but it’s limited for sure. Money you can make and spend a fuckton.
Because it’s so valuable you should spend it wisely and don’t kill it. The phase “killing time” it’s one of the most ugliest phases in English.

I’m not a professional in this field so all I said comes from personal experience. I tested everything below and for me it worked.

If you really want to make the most out of your time and to waste as little as possible I have a few tips for you:

  • First of all you should know what things you have to do in that day so you can divide them in 4 categories.
Urgent and ImportantUrgent and Not Important
Not Urgent and ImportantNot Urgent and Not Important
  • When you’re working you have to kill the "time thieves". For an example, when you’re doing something important on steemit you should close facebook, snapchat, instagram or anything like this so they don't steal your attention.

  • Butterfly tab. When you’re watching or doing something that feels like work, as an example some workshop about time managing, your brain may just enter In this Butterfly Tab Effect and in the next second you just open another tab and you’re on facebook watching wtf else Kim Kardashian is doing. When you caught yourself on this you just realized what happened and go back to the video.

  • You should have a schedule and stick to it. Ok, here comes the question “Well, if I have a schedule am I free anymore?”. Of course, because you made that schedule. If you have one you’re going to be a lot more productive. I had one back in the days and it worked but now I don’t really need one anymore because all I do everyday is hustling on steemit :D

  • When you have something really important to do you should isolate yourself so no one can reach out to you.

If they can find you they will interrupt you.

That's all I have for today.

Are you sure you didnt write the book on this. I think i read it somewhere and yours is better.

You may be one day youngster. You are on the right path. And experience is the most important of anything. Ask employees who are hiring.

when you’re doing something important on steemit you should close facebook, snapchat, instagram or anything like this so they don't steal your attention.

I just keep those closed. I dont use them at all. But good advice because I have had to pick my focuses the last few days. I have been wasting a lot of time, especially in discord.

You should have a schedule and stick to it.

I truly believe being organized and laying out what needs to get done is important. I use a lot of post-its. If I don't write it down I WILL forget it. Even if its as simple as eating sometimes. SteemIt's Fault IMO.

I was there when he said that. Verified!

I have no idea. I may have been drunk and wrote a book then. Tbh, I don't even know from where I have all these informations but I know it works.
B. Franklin was a great man, a wise man. We should all listen to him.
Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it :D

Time is of essence.

Nice post @guyfawkes4-20

You're welcome

You are absolutely right @guyfawkes4-20 That is why I am working towards shaping a better future for myself and my family because I believe the time we have should be used to pave the way for the next generation of our family so that they can enjoy their time.

Thank you my friend. I look forward to welcoming you to the competition.

Unfortunately we are not able to reverse time, so we better spend it wisely!

Awesome. Exactly. I love that.
I may or may not steal it and share it with my friends :D

Time is of the essence! I have not always been so good about time, but, as I get older, I realize I, too have an expiration date! Not to worry about yesterday now- forward, always forward!

Always forward, I agree with that.
Thanks for dropping by :D

The pleasure is mine

Time as we all know it is gold.
