WHAT WOULD YOU SAY is the biggest time-wasting activity in your daily life?<\/p>\n
Some say it’s spending too much time on social media, some point to a fascination with news headlines, others say they’re too busy to waste any time whatsoever. Time is too precious to waste.<\/p>\n
I agree.<\/p>\n
Allow me to tell you a brief (true) story, then the conclusion I’ve drawn from it.<\/p>\n
My son was complaining about his room being too cold. He kept jacking up the main thermostat and overheating everyone else.<\/p>\n
So, I bought a portable electric heater for his room. His brother piped in that he’d have to have one for his room too.<\/p>\n
Problem solved.<\/p>\n
The next month, my electric bill almost doubled.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t because the weather turned suddenly colder. It was all due to those two seemingly harmless and helpful little heaters. You could argue the extra charge for electricity will be offset by the lower need for natural gas … and I hope so … but that’s not the point.<\/p>\n
What is there in your life that doesn’t take a long time to do, but you find yourself doing it frequently?<\/p>\n
Look there first.<\/p>\n
Those heaters weren’t blowing heat all the time, but they were switching on often.<\/p>\n
Those little things can take up a large chuck of time. If you’ll start noticing those actions you thought were inconsequential, you may find they’re the primary culprit stopping you from accomplishing all you set out to do every day.<\/p>\n
Seems incredible … but check it out.<\/p>\n
You don’t have to knock off the little things completely. Just get them under control.<\/p>\n
