The one resource you cannot create more of is time. Everyone has 24 hours in a day, no more no less.
Since we cannot create time we need to use time as effectively as possible. The better outcomes you have from the time you have the better life.
In order to judge the outcomes, we need to understand what our values are. We cannot judge an outcome if we don’t know what we value.
Knowing what you value allows you to determine which outcomes you value which allows you to determine how to effectively use your time. Everything has an outcome. Knowing what we value helps us to determine if what we are doing leads to an outcome we value.
