I installed this Firefox plugin called Mortality, to remind me about my current age. It came after watching a lot of YouTube videos about productivity, and to give a very clear motivation about doing things immediately.
Funny enough, today, as I tuned into a meeting, I was considering my time. Is this meeting worth my time? Am I being productive being here? And I decided to write a post about it.
Is my life measured in productivity moments, or is it about making moments that count with other people? I think sometimes as much as I might be “wasting time” on a first glance, there are times when these moments are needed to be spent with other people.
Maybe sometimes, its okay to not be as productive. But this post is directly against that, to make my “wasted time” not so wasted. Definitely a paradox of sorts.
I’ve read the Art of Spending Money, and the authored explained how he wanted to spend money in ways that saved him time. Die with Zero comes with similar ideas too, but to spend time and money with the equal amount of energy you might need at different ages.
But you know, at the end of the day, is it really that important to be productive, or to have time and money well spent? There are so many unnamed people in ages past who are not these ideal figures of life change. But it doesn’t make their life less, does it?
