Arithmetic of wasting time

Are you conscious of how well you spend your time through out the day, month or year?

The answer is simply NO, you don’t know a damn thing about how you spend your precious time and so do I.

First, lets define what is a waste of time for you, it could be anything overthinking, procrastinating, watching stupid videos, lying around.

Whatever you had in mind.

To me as a student and a visionary scrolling on social media for straight 45 Minutes is a waste of time, I always put a time limit on scrolling social media so I don’t get lost a grasp on reality.

So after that we analyze it’s consequences and it’s depth meaning.
Let’s say you spent 45 minutes everyday on what you defined as a waste of time, and then ask yourself what could have you done if you just didn’t waste the opportunity or the time.

Well you could have done

● Productive things, setting up a realistic goal
● House chores or Responsibilities
● Meditate, Self healing if you’re a overthinker
● Talking to yourself and knowing what’s really that you want
● Reading or listen to something valuable

You can list all of the good potential things that you could possibly imagine.

Okay then let’s calculate it, here’s the depth.

If you waste 45 Minutes in a week you wasted = 210 Minutes or 3.5/H
45 Minutes of wasting time every week in a month is 1260 minutes or 21/H
21/H of wasting time in a month every year is 252/H.

That’s like a month in half of wasting time and who likes that, it’s messed up wasting all those potential things. devaluing what’s in front is not okay it’s never been okay.

That is the power of calculating something day by day month to month year to year, you will never discover the bigger picture unless you think outside the box.
