14 things for which you're wasting your time
A Life / / December 19, 2019
Many people are constantly told that they would not have prevented an additional 24 hours a day. But it is something out of science fiction. But it is really to make sure that our time was spent rationally. But you need to stop doing some obvious and not-so steps.
1. Willing to help those around
Helping people is certainly necessary if their well-being you care. But we must not sacrifice himself on the altar and put the interests of their relationships, responsibilities, and emotional health. Expending themselves to help everyone you meet, you burn out and lose the moral force. Which could be spent on something really interesting and necessary.
If on the other leaves you more time than myself, most of the time to at least think about it. And as a maximum - to start care its status and peace of mind.
2. Expect for the right moment
Let us remember the famous Soviet cupboard, which houses the best dishes in the house - the subject of the owners pride. Perhaps someone is still worth something like this in the apartment. Now recall how often someone used this crockery? Is it getting out at all? Most often sets took care to "better times". Which, as a rule, and did not advance.
Similarly, most people postpones his desire to "fine so far." Come up with a condition: that's when I'll do something, that's when... But at this rate desired can not be done ever. If you crave something, go for it with all my heart, then proceed. The best time - it now.
3. Talk about purposes without further action
This item smoothly follows from the previous one. Share plans and ideas and sometimes even useful, it's inspiring. But it is bad, if not more than talk goes nothing. As a result, you are wasting your and other people's time.
Before something to tell, make sure that you do not just hang out and do intend to carry out their plans. Otherwise, in the future you may well remember the dialogue, and you will in an awkward position.
4. Go to the mall and to the sites of online shops, when there is no money to purchase
If the budget is painted and bonuses at work is not expected soon, this senseless activity. Only once again upset and will be hard to sigh.
Of course, there is an option when you are caring a thing to start to postpone it. But let's face it: most of us just staring.
5. Compete with other
If you have the desire to become a professional and expert in some areas it is commendable and nothing to worry about. Spend time on self-development and improvement of their lives - it is right. But if you compete with a friend or a friend is someone life better - this senseless occupation.
You do not have to prove anything or to do purchase something, only to wipe someone's nose. This impasse makes you lead a lifestyle that is probably not suit you. And all this wasted money, time and energy that you could spend a great benefit and pleasure.
6. Taking abuse for constructive criticism
If you asked someone to share something about your work, and you get a short "kind of garbage" in response to, or worse, do not try to be upset. Criticism - this, of course, the engine of progress, but only if it is with explanations and arguments.
Response from should help to look at something from a different angle, to expand your vision. If the answer you get an empty negative, you can not give up and the more unnecessary to reflect. So you're just wasting your time, and "critic" at this point continues to live on, without thinking about you.
7. To agree on something, so as not to offend people
Caring about the feelings of others - it is not bad. But if it goes into spinelessness and inability to deny, that you first make yourself ill.
Of course, if a person is asking to make a company and not just go with you somewhere, too, why not support it? But if such a system only works in one direction (against you), stop thinking about other people's feelings. Engage in what is interesting and important to you. Do not waste your time coming up with excuses, as to say "NotI do not want "is much easier and more honest.
8. Blindly follow the advice
Communicate with knowledgeable people, watch training videos, read books, articles and devote themselves to something new and useful - is absolutely correct. But it is important to remember that not all are equally good tips fit all. You can spend a lot of time to get used to something, but in the end life will not improve and will only get worse. For example, not all suitable early awakening. And while many are advised to get up at first light, it does not mean that you will become more productive immediately and it will help you. There is a chance that everything will be different.
Because come to experiment carefully. Think about what you're going to put into practice, and not in a hurry to try everything that you recommend. Listen to yourself, your body and senses. They tell us how to act.
9. Do something, having a superficial knowledge of the subject matter
Most of the time this story two options. Whether you are doing a crooked and slanted, or just quit and not finishing so. The third option, where you will succeed, - alas, the rarest.
You will save a lot of time, if, before getting down to business, to study the subject thoroughly. Corrections if they have to make, then at a minimum. In contrast to the situation where you are not understood, and immediately began to perform the task. And this applies to all, for that you can take.
10. Ask for advice when you actually know what you want
Sometimes it is hard to admit their desires, but this should be done. And look for confirmation or approval of someone's words is not necessary. The more so your opinions with the speaker may differ, and you hear not what you really want. Because of what may appear doubts and, as a result, you spend more time to achieve the desired.
11. Leave at harvest trash
So you often put off the inevitable, and setting yourself up for re-cleaning and another waste of time.
If the thing had not come in handy, the probability that it is suddenly necessary, tends to zero. Do not do double duty and dispose of trash without sparing. If the object is in good condition and throw it a pity, sell, or give it to whom it more necessary.
12. Buy food for one or two days
Talk about the importance of the shopping list will not, obviously. But it is also important to look ahead and to buy nonperishable food to spare. In the future, this habit will help you not to run for shopping every day. By the way, it is possible to use more products and delivery to your home. This will save a lot of time and effort.
13. Identify their disease through Google
Yes, read articles on health and study the experts' comments useful. But put yourself diagnosed - an idea, to put it mildly, so-so. Moreover, in such cases, we do not limit ourselves to the study articles. Having read, people tend to move to self-medicate, that in itself is dangerous.
If you have something sick, we should go to the doctor, instead of spending time and money on a trip to the drugstore for the fact that you can be, and is not necessary. Remember that when you miss the self-treatment time to deal with this disease that you could diagnose a doctor.
Sometimes it's critical.
14. Go to the store without making sure that the product is available
There are moments when the site write that thing in the store there, and the place is that it sells. But this situation is quite rare. Increasingly, people are just going to the store, hoping to take home the coveted purchase. However, the result of a trip is not always joyful. It is better not to waste his time and to always look ahead, so you do not upset.
