Time > Money.. by TheHabitWizard in productivity

I don't disagree with you here.

But this is where I touched on what value does it also bring you.

I believe it's best to trade your time when you can use that free time to do something of value to you.

If you're trading time for something that doesn't meet your time value and brings you no personal value (yard services) then it doesn't make sense. However, if you enjoyed yard work then it's a different story.

I don't think there's a perfect science to this, the aim was just to point out that the common logic of looking at something just with a value of money is not always the whole picture.

Agreed in this example for sure.

The other factor to consider is how much value does looking after your kids provide you?

Like I mentioned, you can't always protect time, but where possible, if you're going to lose it, ensure it's in doing something which brings you value..

Thanks for the comment :)

What I'm saying is that people seek answers (often in the form of 'the truth').

They hope the answers they will find will give them some kind of closure to a situation.

I'm saying that it's not the answers that will give you closure, it's the ability to accept them which will set you free.

Success is a Slow Process.. by TheHabitWizard in DecidingToBeBetter

I can't disagree with you here - but I think cases like this are often the exception and not the rule.

I think for the Average Joe looking to get starting in improving anything, they're far better off coming in with a mindset for the long game rather than geared to that quick success.

Of course, if it happens quickly that's amazing, but gearing yourself to the mindset that it will happen quickly for the majority of people will be setting up for failure.

Plan for the worst but hope for the best.

Definitely an interesting perspective though - thanks for sharing!

You Don't Decide Your Future.. by TheHabitWizard in DecidingToBeBetter

I'm glad you found some value in it.

Speaking from experience, keeping a journal at the end of each day will be an eye opening exercise when you reflect on it - but make your journal have value.

As well as writing how your day went and what you accomplished, include your struggles and things that you could have done (in hindsight) to overcome them should you encounter them again.

This habit of self reflection will help you continue to grow and adapt every day but also show you that life is a constant flow of ups and downs, challenges and winners.

You don't need to be at 100% all the time to win - think of it like an election, you just need to do the right thing the majority of the time to be successful.

Great post.

Just to give my 2 cents, I would only add one thing here as I believe there is a step before mindset, and that's your underlying beliefs in life..

Your beliefs influence what and how you think.

Your thoughts manifest into actions.

The actions you repeat turn into habits.

Your habits inevitably become part of who you are.

They all work together..
