The Bright Method Podcast: Realistic Time Management and Productivity for Working Women & Working Moms

55. “You waste years by not being able to waste hours”: The Critical Role Planning Plays


Listen Later

American culture is fixated on DOING – and those of us in it struggle to stop the doing to plan and prioritize. This quote caught my attention on that front: “You waste years by not being able to waste hours." The quote is by Amos Tversky and doesn't relate to planning, but it made me think that we do risk wasting weeks, months, and years by not planning and prioritizing where we want to go. Busyness without direction doesn't always get us where we want to go. 

Let's discuss – and walk through what this means from a practical perspective.
