Regulate sleep
If you want your body run free, it always wants more sleep. That’s why, from my point of view, it’s enormously important to set the alarm not just on working days but on weekends.
If you take a closer look at the list above, my last statement actually needs no explanation. You could figure out how long you sleep without an alarm clock and how much more you would have if you slept at least two hours less daily.
Regulate consumption
From TV consumption to series and movies. Of course, nobody can say that you should have no hobbies. But does it really make sense to spend a few hours a day on nonsense things like watching tv?
You should set a limit for everything and you should continue to develop yourself. Facebook Twitter or Instagram just want to show you stuff and burn your time.
Burning is a good example
Imagine a A4 paper that you have lit. It burns in front of your eyes and turns to ashes. It’s gone. Not to bring back. That’s the same with your wasted time. You watch that your time burns and turns to ashes but it does not interest you because this process is invisible.
That’s why some people getting old and still behaving as if they were teenagers. You just can not see how time tiles.
Meaningful investments
The most sensitive thing to spend your time on is reading books. With books I do not mean novels and fictional books but books built on facts.
The most meaningful thing i think is reading books by authors, which are generally criticized very strong. This will teach you how this people tick and realize how they got on the wrong path. This will be useful if you want to help people you love. Unless you are the one who is been always helped.
What if not?
Some People can only talk about is booze and parties. There is nothing meaningful about what they did in their lives. They still live with the “should others care about it” mentality.
At the latest when you get children, grandchildren or nephews they’ll ask you how you changed the world. It would be too sad if you do not know a clever answer to this question.
Conclusion
You should quickly realize how valuable time is and look what you have done in your life so far. The future would have to be better and do the best out of it.
When you arrive at the end of the tunnel, you can at least leave the tunnel with your head high and know that you have done the best you can.
No one wants to have just existed without having made any meaningful! Right? …
