Newsletter writer, Shane Parrish, wrote in Brain Food, “If you burn money, people call you crazy. If you burn time, they call you busy. We treat money as valuable because it’s quantifiable and time as disposable because it’s not.”
This is an intriguing thought. I’m betting we all fritter away our time. A couple days ago, my stomach was queasy. I could not focus. The good news—I was too tired and out of sorts to burn any money. The bad news—I did nothing useful with my time. No study. No writing. No practicing.
A better thought:
Shall we neither burn money nor time? Instead focus…with intention. And if the body’s system is out of whack, then that’s where the focus should go. That’s the real problem. Deal with it with rest or medication or a walk.
Know where the real current problem lies. Deal with it first.
Sometimes we’re so busy trying to do one thing that we miss the original constraint that must be solved.
