Another way of saying ‘You can’t get those hours back’.

Recently I’ve been chal­lenged by too many meet­ings and not enough stim­u­lat­ing work. What’s a guy to do. One of my reg­u­lar reads –  The Lazy Way to Suc­cess — recently dropped this inter­est­ing tid­bit into my lap. In turn, I pass on the favour.

…When we focus on money, no mat­ter how much we think we need it or want it, it is an empty focus. We are focus­ing on a fruit we have no con­trol over. In fact, focus­ing intently on money (or any fruit) is a retard­ing focus because it drains us of our power. When our focus is on the fruits, Nature isn’t impressed, isn’t amused, and isn’t inspired to be generous.…

My take…you can’t get back the time you’ve spent in less-than-worthwhile activ­it­ies. Where you can, avoid them, and focus on the worth­while ones. Simple to say, and very very hard to do.
