Lessons from “Off the Clock”
by Nino · 14 things on NewTwos
- The way we spend our hours is the way we spend our days. The way we spend our days is the way we spend our lives.
- Time is a choice. It's a finite resource. And we have the power to choose how we use it.
- The most successful people are not the ones who are the busiest. They are the ones who are the most intentional with their time.
- When we look at our lives through the lens of how we spend our time, we often discover that we have more time than we think.
- Time is elastic. It stretches to accommodate what we need or wants to put into it.
- The key to feeling less busy is not about doing less. It's about doing the right things.
- The more we focus on what we want to do, rather than what we feel we have to do, the more we enjoy our time.
- One of the secrets to feeling less busy is to treat ourselves like professional athletes. We need to prioritize rest and recovery, just as athletes do.
- When we treat our leisure time as a valuable and limited resource, we are more likely to use it in ways that bring us joy and fulfillment.
- The quality of our time is more important than the quantity of our time. It's not about how many hours we work or how many tasks we accomplish. It's about how we feel during the time we have.
