1/5 Taking The Time

Think of your phone half a decade ago (2015).
Did you scroll as long? Did it feel as good?
Are you weaker or is the tech stronger?

Somewhere, someone whose job glues eyes to screens had a windfall year in 2020. More data, tests, and eyes than ever before.

2/5 In 2021, your time is being taken. Aggressively, cleverly.

Whether you have vague aspirations or concrete resolutions, you are going to have to TAKE the time for them from something ELSE. Time is a zero-sum game, & every year the competition is steeper.

If you have Iphone,

3/5 Go now to Screen Time.

Take your daily avg and multiply by your hourly rate (the amount you value your time at, or approx.), then multiply that by 30.

That is how much money you're not being paid to be on your phone/month.

Mine: ($50 * 5.3hrs * 30 days = $7950)

4/5 My number makes me angry. For good measure, another: MASTERY

Divide 10,000 (the "mastery number") by your Daily Avg, then divide the quotient by 365.

Mine: (10k/5.3)/365 = 5.16 Years (to become a master).
Spent differently, my phone addiction is one, 5-year mastery.

5/5 Sear the numbers into your brain. On the day you die your entire ledger could flash before your eyes... how will you wish you'd spent time differently?

"Taking The Time" means TAKE from one thing to INVEST in another.

You are dying. Invest wisely
