Time is the one thing that everyone wants more of, but doesn’t blink an eye to waste.
Think about it.
How much time do you waste daily:
*arguing about politricks
*scrolling social media to pass the time
*wandering aimlessly around town
*escaping reality (drink, drugs, porn, games etc.)
The average person wastes a ton of time daily and few people actually stop to take inventory of it.
This happened to me recently. Even though I know I’ve been going super hard in the paint with working for myself lately, I knew I was wasting a lot of time.
Where you say?
At the job I recently got fired from.
So I was a teacher at this summer camp recently. I was teaching STEM to kindergarteners through 5th graders.
That was my first mistake because these kids now are a totally different breed. Anyhow, I was doing experiments with them and trying to teach them general things about different areas of STEM. I initially agreed to take the job because:
*It was a referral from a family member
*I really do like teaching a lot
*I needed the money (surprise surprise right?)
However, when I got to the job, I quickly became frustrated with the work. Why?
*It was a long commute for crap pay
*The children weren't even in the building, forget being off the chain
*I didn't agree with a lot of the methods with how the staff were treating the students
The biggest thing that got me though was the commute time and pay
I was spending on average 2 1/2 hours in my car daily and only getting paid 12.50 an hour for 4 hours of work.
Total time sink.
How did I realize this? I made an insane amount of money off my twitter webinar.
The amount of money that I made from the webinar made me realize something yyyhuuuuuuuuge and bigly.
It made me realize how much time I had been wasting because I was undervaluing it.
This is a common trap that people fall into. It's a very easy trap to fall into because we're really not taught how to value our time, we're just taught basically to go on market values for what time is worth depending on what you're doing.
Good for companies trying to increase their bottom line, horrible for you who is trying to manifest a life
