If there’s one thing I’ve noticed, growing up in American culture, it’s that we like to keep ourselves busy. One minute, we’re sipping coffee and the next, we’re busting our butts to get to work, neglecting all other things — our health, our family, how our partner is feeling — that don’t seem to help us get further.
It’s not unusual we’re like this.
Many of us (including me) have grown up, believing in the American dream — of having a family, of having a house, of having children whom we could teach and pass stories to. Some of us are more ambitious, having the desire and passion to build a million-dollar company or becoming a world-class athlete, while others are simply driven to create.
But no matter how big the dream, we must all work hard to achieve what we truly want.
But how?
How can we achieve our dreams sooner, assuming that we all start with the same playing cards (of wealth and convenience and public amenities)?
Well, as most of us would probably say: If only I had more time, if only I put in more hours, I would’ve already gotten what I wanted.
But is that truly the right answer — more time?
The reason why I question our line of thinking around time is because we often don’t manage…
