Time – What’s Yours Worth

Time….something that most people don’t have enough of. Something that most people waste.

How do you waste your time you might ask? By doing things such as surfing the net for useless information instead of writing the report that is due for work or school.

Or by flipping channels all night long because there is nothing on T.V. instead of cleaning out the basement like your spouse asked you to.

Or by spending four hours trying to do a plumbing project that would have taken a plumber only an hour to do.

We waste time because we don’t want to do something. We don’t want to start a project that we know is going to take a long time or that is going to be boring.

We waste time because we don’t want to spend the money to hire an expert because we think we can do it ourselves. Some people might be able to do their own plumbing. Most of us can’t. So why waste the four hours doing something that we really are not qualified to do, only to have to call a plumber and pay him anyway?

But let’s say that you really are qualified to do your own plumbing, but you just don’t have the time to do it. Isn’t it more cost effective to call in an expert and get it done then to wait and possible create a bigger problem later? Which of course will cost you more money.

What is your time worth? Sometimes it’s worth it to spend the money to hire other people to help you with your projects that you just don’t have the time to do so that they get done.

As you get older you realize that time is something precious. It goes by too quickly.

So instead of trying to fit too many things into your life, either cut back on some things or pay other people to do them for you. Pay someone to cut your lawn so that you have time to spend with your family.

Don’t waste time doing useless things like flipping channels on the T.V. when you should be working on cleaning out your basement. Do it. Get it done. Your spouse will appreciate it.

Think about all of the things that you have to do in a day and plan out your day and your route to make the best use of your time so that you are not backtracking and wasting time, gas and wear and tear on your car.

Time…. Learn to manage it….. Don’t let it manage you.
