Work and Talk: Dropping unnecessary

I am in a constant state of flux and with time being a finite resource, value of my time is important. With the coming addition of employment arrives the need to cutback on some aspects of other time consumers. I am pretty careful with my time spent but also generous with it, including with clients. I am likely too available and accessible.

Managing my time is pretty critical and going forward becomes more so, which makes wasting my time very costly. A few minutes lost here or there rarely comes with the space to make up for it later so I limit unnecessary quite heavily, entertainment is a big part of the unnecessary, at least at this time. I used to spend a lot of time doing little of consequence.

Of course, my entire life can't just be filled without rest but at this point, the opportunity is available to build a strong foundation to build upon for the future and passing it up for leisure seems like something with a high future cost. Putting the time and effort in now is more likely going to save time, effort and some hardships at a later date.

Every decision we make is an investment position that comes with future consequences, whether it is financial or how we choose to behave in a relationship. All choices can carry both unexpected costs, as well as windfalls and the hope is that there is more improvement in quality of life than degradation. Sometimes what seems so obvious a result, is actually a hard to predict outcome and if one ties themselves to getting that result, they might not notice new information in the system that suggests a change of course.

Expectation of result often dismisses information but, not everything can be known at the time of decision-making. Some people like to behave consistently but for me, I prefer to adapt continually to needs which means that while I make many errors, a better path is rarely far away. While some look for narrow precision, I aim for wide approximation across many points. No perfect, just movement toward improved.

I am getting myself mentally prepared to screw up my schedules as I am going to be introducing a large volume of change in a very short time frame. Worrying about it is part of the unnecessary though, dealing with it is what matters.

While I don't fully know what is involved, I am enjoying the process of mentally preparing for the unknown so when the time arrives to move, I am not far from where I need to be. Screw the FUD though as I will probably only live once so, best make the most of it.
