⏺Major in the majors, not in the minors! Part 1
I believe I heard this saying for the first time when I was listening to an audio book from Jim Rohn. That man had some incredible philosophies.
'Major in the majors'
In simple text, it means stop wasting your time on the little things, and rather focus your time on a major task, that can reap a major reward!
Don't major in the minors.
Examples of minor tasks:
- Chatting on messaging apps.
- Scrolling on Facebook, Instagram, or any non-productive site.
- Watching TV.
- Playing Xbox, PlayStation, PC or mobile games.
- Washing the dishes, cleaning the house, etc.
- Complaining, moaning, worrying.
- Sleeping.
These are all examples of minor tasks. Why? Because none of them are scalable when more time is invested.
Now, that wasn't completely accurate.
Especially in today's day and age, some of those tasks can be a major for one person, but a minor for another. Let me explain.
Playing games for example. There are many YouTubers who make a full-time living from posting videos of them playing games. This then becomes a majorly demanding task in their daily lives. However, if you are just playing games to chill, and you are spending hours per day, then it's definitely a minor task.
Make sense?
I will continue the other side of this story in Part 2. Stay tuned!

You are amazingly inspiring, hope to see the second part soonest, yet without scrolling; i wouldn't have come across your post, so I believe that all scrolling on steemit are MAJORS lol.
Thank you my man! I appreciate that. Yeah I would say scrolling can be both a major and a minor. Let's called it a majinor! :D
I think it can be very useful, like you just explained, but definitely to be limited time-wise. I think it can be combined into a major task if you add commenting and engaging to each post you scroll through. If that makes sense? :P
Thanks for the comment. Talk soon!
As some of us were wasting our time by writing at some useless places before joining "Steemit" :)
Nicely explained! Upvoted
So true hey bro! So true. It's crazy to think how much we spent on useless platforms. Just wasting life away!
Thanks for your comment. Talk soon!
I have decided that I won't be spending my time over there! I'll be with you here on Steemit. :)
Hey man, wonderful post as usual.
Love the part where you used games for your example as I've been playing games since I was young.
Since most of my posts are pure writing, I'm not just playing games for the sake of playing but also for inspiration and the way the writers tell the story of the game I'm playing.
Thank you for sharing this, love your wonderful post man.
Cheers!
I really appreciate those awesome words my dude! I like that you play for the story. Many games have incredible stories attached to them. Have you played Dark Souls? That was maybe my favorite story. Either that, or the Assassin's Creed series.
Talk soon!
I'm more of like a retro gamer especially the classic PS 1 games :-) but I played the Assassin's Creed series
Your time will always be filled up with things.
And so, focus your efforts on the things that bring you great joy and future enrichment. Do not let all the little things that "must" get done get in the way.
As little as one hour a day of effort in the correct direction will get you much farther than thinking about doing it all day.
Awesomely said man! Very true. Simply even an hour or two of purely focused time, can beat an entire day of being 'average'. Thanks for your input!
If I wasn't already following you, I would have given you a follow now :) Talk soon.

Goo? :D

Hey found you from @surfermarly logo contest. I loved your design you made for her but it was so hard to pick between it and the one by @sjennon. Look forward to reading and seeing more of your posts.
Thanks for stopping by :)
Thanks! Glad you like it. Yeah, my logo won the award for the most popular from the audience, and @sjennon's won because that was the one @surfermarly wanted to use.
Then we teamed-up and arranged that I make her banner for her profile. So the official logo was made by @sjennon, and the official banner is made by me :)
I have given you a follow :) Talk soon!
