Short long short time

Look at your hands.

Y’know that project you’re working on right now?

It’s going to take up a chunk of the year to do.

And year’s not a super-long time.

But a year’s a tenth of a decade. And a decade is a long time.

We can count our decades on just our hands.

Next time you think about taking on a project, count the time it takes on your hands.

Is the project half a digit on your index finger? Or maybe it’s half of your index finger?

Maybe it’s your entire thumb?

That’s time you’ll never get back. That’s that finger gone.

Moral of the story:

Do not ask if you are worthy of a project.

Ask if the project is worthy of a portion of your life.

’Cus you won’t get it back.
