"This Book Will Save You Time" - Chapter Review "Time Theft" 2/11
Chapter 2 of my 11 part review of "This Book Will Save You Time" by Misir Mahmudov talks about time theft. On average a human will live about 70 years, which consists of about 600,000 hours. You will find that when time is lost of yours doing something that you do not enjoy, or someone is delaying you for any reason it is wasting your time & is completely disrespectful. An example of this I can give from my life is when I'm trying to play call of duty with my friends. I enjoy my time playing this game so I don't consider it wasting my time but trying to get into a game with my friends who will say that they will play with me but keep delaying joining the game just shows disrespect towards me. I don't like to be disrespected like that so I end up not playing the game with some friends. After I finish playing my game I then go offline & then the friend of mine I was trying to play with is finally ready to play the game, I'm offline doing my own thing now. They feel salty because they don,t end up playing with me & they would blame me for not waiting - after they completely wasted my time. I tell them that they disrespected me by lying to me saying that they would join a game with me when they could have come out & said the truth that they weren't up to playing the game at that moment. It's better to just say that your busy with something else & that you can't play at the moment. That,s something I would respect from a friend.
One must value their time with the activities that they are doing & try to live their life with the things that they enjoy the most to be as productive as they can be. If I am spending a lot of time on YouTube watching cat videos or stupid meme videos for hours on end (like I have in the past) & it then comes bedtime I think to myself "where did the time go? This would be an example of wasting my time when I could be more productive like reading a book, or on the phone talking with family & friends. Especially with what is going on in the world right now with a virus on the loose making it hard to actually spend time with family & friends in person.
One shouldn't spend their time with others who take their time for granted. One shouldn't feel that spending their time with another is a waste of time because so much of that will lead to an unhappy life.
I feel that this book & going forward will be a great eye-opener for time management & trying to live a happier life. I hope by reading this it is not a waste of time & that you will get some information that will be useful to you in life.
Thank you.
