I’ve met people from different backgrounds, each with their own struggles and triumphs. Masters of Economy were amongst them. Many were complaining they were overworked, don’t have time for anything and their income is also disappointing.
Time is an important factor when it comes to feeling well. Time for oneself, time with friends, time to read, time to go out. All those activities don’t bare the physical existence of a smartphone in the same location as one self. Means: Leave your smartphone at home! If you plan to meet with a person that is constantly late, let them know in advance that you’ll have no way to be contacted and they can’t be late. You’ll wait max 15 minutes and if your friend doesn’t show up, do something for yourself. Another advantage, especially for people that don’t know their surroundings that much, you can’t use your smartphone to navigate. Check your route in advance and write it on a piece of paper – it’s only for this one meeting. But if you make this a habit, it will become easier by time. The brain is a muscle that need to be trained. It will eventually become a habit. You’ll notice pretty early a change in your quality of life. Of course, you’ll miss the latest updates on Instagram and WhatsApp – but that’s exactly want you want to avoid.
A man walks into the bakery, asks for a bread – for free!
The baker declined the man’s request and said: I learned hard to make this bread, I woke up at 3:30 to prepare this bread, I put best ingredients into this bread. I won’t give you my precious time for free.
Time is precious! We only have a certain amount of seconds that we can. spend on this planet and we want to enjoy as much as we can. Nobody will give me a loaf of bread for free. If your work contract says you get paid for a certain amount of time per day (week/month) – then only work for this time! Every second of overtime must be financially or timely compensated, by a factor of 1.25 at minimum. If you learn to say “no” to your company, you’ll have more time for all your plans. Only, you can’t meet your friends – because they are stuck in the old system.
