Time Is Money
Caro Cordo - Posted: 7/2/2008
Nobody has time to spare these days. That’s the reason why they can’t spend time with their kids, can’t cook food from scratch, can’t make their own clothes, can’t keep in touch with relatives and friends, can’t do anything!
But is it really true? If you were to track a person every day for a week, chances are there’d be lots of moments where good things could be done.
Time on public transport could be spent writing letters or phoning friends and rellies. Tim sitting flaked out in front of the television could be spent doing something artistic or crafty, or writing –a love letter, a poem, a letter to a politician, it doesn’t matter, it’s more constructive than vegetating in front of the box.
If we stopped mindlessly watching TV we’d have much more time – time to make stock, make fruit roll ups or muffins. We’d have time to interact properly with our children and we wouldn’t feel guilty about ignoring them – the lack of guilt would mean there’s no need to spend guilt-money as a way of saying sorry – your time is more valuable than any umber of video games.
It can be cheaper and healthier to cook your own biscuits, cakes and such. Making baked in the oven wedges is far cheaper thatn oven cooked frozen chips/fries. Get out your recipe books and do a little research!
Spend time and save money!
