You have, according to this article, you have a total of 692,040 hours on planet Earth. In the midst of a global pandemic, it seems an opportune time to re-evaluate life a little. To take stock of where we spend our time and where we have energy leaks (i.e. things that drain us that add little benefit).

Of course, they’re lots of things that we adore to do and that bring us immense value but I have a sneaky feeling that we sometimes the balance wrong.

We find ourselves doing more of the stuff we don’t love and less of the stuff we do. I’m not sure quite where along the way it happens but it inevitably does. Often after a long day, we ask ourselves, why did I spend my time thinking about that today? Frustrated, you agree (with yourself) to not do it again. Only to repeat the very next day.

Here is some perspective on things that are not worth your time.
