What's the Best Use of Your Time?
May 19, 2007 by Kenton Newby
Take what you're doing right now (Well, not reading this site, but in general. Oh, you know what I mean). 
Multiply that out over time, replicate that over days, weeks, months…whatever it takes. The question is:
Will Doing That Get You to Your Goals?
Of course, this assumes that you have clearly defined goals in mind. If not, that's a whole other issue, but here are a few suggestions:
- Send the kids to college
- Take a vacation
- Spend more time with family
- Retire comfortably
- Retire early
- Spend less time at work
- Play golf all day (or whatever your passion is)
- Take care of your parents, grandparents, etc.
- Get that awesome new car
- Donate to charity
- Help clean up the environment
- Buy a new house, car, etc.
So I Ask Again, Will That Get You to Your Goals?
If not, perhaps that's not the best use of your time?
This is not to say that you should only work and have no time for play or those things we all love to do when we just want to "zone out".
However, it DOES mean that you should actively choose what you're doing, how you're using your time, rather than going through life on "autopilot". Do you really want to just go home every night, zombie out in front of the TV? Why not read, take a class, learn something that will inspire you or give you an experience you've been looking for?
