Life Management Tips From Our Readers

I recently asked you for your best life management tips.

Although we only received three answers, the tips we got sure are good ones:

  • capo — My bit of added advice is: always keep foremost in mind what’s truly valuable. We live in a culture that’s way too fixated with stuff. It’s not material wealth that’s valuable, it’s TIME. Given enough time, it’s child’s play to gain material wealth. Time is the most precious of all commodities - you have a set amount and can never gain an additional minute, no matter who you are or what you do. When you’re buying that car or TV or iPhone - don’t look at it as $35,000 or $3000 or $600 - look at it in terms of time. How many irreplaceable hours of your life will you have to trade for money to get that trinket? Is it REALLY worth it?
  • twm — To get the most out of life, make sure you understand your individual priorities. Without focus in life, time is wasted. I guess it really doesn’t matter if it’s a mission statement or just a prioritized list. Just get something defined and then chase after your dreams.
  • Aaron — Here’s my tip: REALLY LISTEN to what others say

These are great tips and I very much appreciate them.

One of the things I love about blogging is that it opens a web site up to conversation, so that we can all learn from each other. Thank you for allowing me to learn from you.
