How to Manage Your Time

People say time is the one thing you can’t buy more of, but you can. You can buy other people’s time and have them spend it doing time-consuming things you don’t want to, thus giving yourself more time.

I’ve often complained that people think the most plentiful resource on the planet is your time. Not their time, your time. People are more than happy to spend your time on the strangest things. Take it from a guy who was once paid to scrape the breading off of the leftover fish filets at night, then re-bread the fish the next morning.

Note from Missy: This reminds me of a boss I used to have. He loved to dictate letters, and he was a mumbler. So a letter that took him 3 minutes to dictate (and would have taken him no more than 5 minutes to type) took me a good hour to fully transcribe, what with the repeated rewinding, and going to him with questions like, “This word sounds like ‘radish,’ but I’m sure you didn’t say ‘radish.’ What do you think you said?”
