Time well spent

“Time well spent” is an ambiguous goal for time.

It’s easier to look at time two-dimensionally, waiting for someone else to tell us what we should do with our time, or what is worthwhile.

But that’s not usually the answer we need.

The answer we need might be in finding comfort in the true, ambiguous goal for time.

To look at the day, to listen to our gut, and follow that toward “time well spent”.

Sometimes, it might be working on your craft. Other times, it might be going for a long walk with your loved ones.

Both are time well spent.

There are so many good ways to spend your time.

Ignore what others tell you it should be that your instinct disagrees with.

And definitely ignore all the bad ways to spend your time, such as doom-scrolling.

We don’t have infinite time. It passes faster than we think it will.

Make sure it’s time well spent.
