In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we pick up where we left off in the last episode. I get into examples of things that are probably not a waste of time. For instance, helping people. Generally speaking, most people will agree that helping other people is usually a good use of time. For the rest of the examples, you'll just have to listen to the episode. 

In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast we talk about what is and what isn't a waste of time. It's a topic that's largely dependant on your worldview. If you have a world view that's not based on a higher power, then the answer to the question is a bit subjective. It can be based on your own personal opinion or the opinion of society. If you do believe in a higher power, then that higher power would naturally determine what is and what isn't a waste of time. After talking about that, we get into some examples of stuff that probably isn't a waste of time. 

In this episode of Stop To Think, we finish up our conversation about financial inflection points. Essentially a person just needs to have one break-out success and then not do anything stupid and they're pretty much set for life. 

In this episode of Stop To Think we talk about financial inflection points. Or at least that's what we set out to talk about. This episode, which is the first in a small series, might have taken a slight turn into the weeds for a bit. Specifically, we talk about how reality is a bit filtered these days and how that can be misleading. People aren't taught about the true nature of money and if their perception of it is based on the successful people in society that they observe they'll never figure out how to make it. A financial inflection point is a point where a person's fiances change direction and go from being positive to negative. 

In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast we talk about working some exempt overtime. A few episodes ago we talked about incentive structures and how they work with salaried labor. During this episode, we talk about how even though a salaried employee doesn't have an incentive to work overtime there are situations in which they still might want to. For example, if they approach their job as a hobby or if they feel like they can reduce their overall stress by getting some extra work done. 

In this episode of Stop To Think we talk about the hard points in life. Those life events that are guaranteed to happen with the only question being a matter of when. These events are almost certainly going to have a major impact on our lives but for the most part, many people live without ever stopping to consider them. This can be good but it can also lead to a large amount of regret. 

In this episode of Stop To  Think we finish up the series on incentive structures by talking about incentive structures in society at large. Whether we like it or not, our society is shaped by its incentives. If we're not careful about what behavior we incentivize, we'll inevitably create problems for ourselves down the road. 

In this episode of Stop To Think we continue our talk about workplace incentives from last episode. We discuss commissions and profit sharing and a few other cool ways that employers can compensate their workers that might be a better fit than just straight salary or straight hourly wages. 

In this episode of Stop To Think we continue looking at how incentives motivate people. Specifically, we talk about how incentive structures play a role in the workplace. We talk about hourly and salary wages and how they don't work exactly like most employers expect them to. 

In this episode of Stop To Think we finish up our talk about incentive structures in personal relationships. Specifically, we focus on how incentives can be used in a positive manner within personal relationships.
