We often hear people saying 'Life is short' and we all know this. And also we know that if we waste time on useless things, we waste our life for nothing. It's for that reason that it's important that we don't spend time or attention on things that are frivolous, negative or plan stupid. The more you spend time on useless things or on stupid things the more you will be losing your life that you want to live. Your time is limited and valuable. Once it is used, it can never be reclaimed, it is totally gone. The only thing will remain is regret.
If you want to live a worth life, you shouldn't be spending your time on things that does not help you to grow at all. May be you are not aware of those things as a time waster and you simply keep doing them again and again. By getting a full understanding of how your time is spent and spending the time to ensure you understand your priorities, you will be able to stop wasting time, and live a more meaningful life. Let's learn how not to waste time and live a more productive and meaningful life.
Hitting "Snooze"
This happens when you start your day and it is the first activity of the day to begin with. Alike most of the people may be you are also the one to hit snooze button every morning. And when you hit the snooze button means you are wasting your time. Morning is the important part of the day to start with. Get your lazy butt out of the bed and stop wasting time on sleeping.
Constantly refreshing Social Media Platforms
The world is crazy indeed on social media. People spend their most of the time on SNS by refreshing them every second. Scroll down for the news feeds that they could miss by any chance. They do it by habitually and see what other people are posting. What do you get from them? Do you get something valuable? Do you really learn something new that is very helpful in your life and apply them for living? You may see some of important news feeds and rests of them are useless and time wasters. Not saying that you do not use SNS but use them meaningfully by not wasting your most of the time. And be careful that SNS news feeds do not redirect your feelings towards negative and criticize other people on it without even thinking a consequence. Use them productively and do not waste your time.
Regretting for the past events
Whatever happened in the past is exist in the past. You could do better or you couldn't and shouldn't make some mistakes in the past. But it already happened and if you always think of them, you literally are wasting your time. It changes nothing but only thing you can have from the past is a good lesson. Regretting does not solve any problem but it ruins your present and longer your future process to become more successful. It's okay to mess up and that's how you get wiser. You are not the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, a week ago, even a day ago. You are always growing and experiencing every single day and it doesn't stop. That's life.
Trying to impress everyone
It is a total time waster. Just be yourself and do not try to impress everyone you meet in life. Not every single persons are the same and you cannot impress them in a same way you do for some people. You will hurt yourself if you try to impress everyone. Not every people you meet is going to like you and in the same way you will not like everyone who will you meet. No matter how you live, someone will be disappointed. So live your life the way you are living and stop trying to impress every one. Life will be more easier and happier.
Waiting for the perfect time
There is no perfect time to come. You make the time perfect. If you wait for the perfect time to come, it will never come to you and you will waste your time. Start right over and make everything perfect by your action. Your actions speaks through a result and make the things right with the right action and keep your mind sharp. Learn something new everyday, practice them, and apply them in life. Don't waste your time by giving up on things just saying that you missed the perfect time to start.
Value your time and learn to say "No"
If you do not learn to value your time, you will spend most of your time for others. Helping others is a great thing, but stop pleasing people all the time by saying YES for everything. Make sure that your lists and tasks are done before helping others and saying yes for other events. Value your time first for yourself productively and make some time for others and help them. Put the priority on yourself first and help others without cutting into your productivity.
