'Time is money', there's no argument about it. Why we say time is more precious than money is because, for once lost, time can never be recovered. This does not apply to money. With that in mind, ask yourself 'how much do i worth an hour?’ Before you do something always think is it worth doing? If the answer was yes then go to the next question is 'is it worth my time doing the thing?'/'am I the only person who can achieve this task or is there anyone who can do it better and quicker for me?' I know it won’t hurt for you to do it yourself, but think of it like this, you could be in a beach enjoying your moment while the work is done or could be spending that time with a loved one’s or you could be banging your head with the task you just thought you are the only one who can do it. One thing I have learnt this year is simple, 'you have to spend to earn'. Like I said earlier 'Time is money', but spending the money wisely, you get to buy time with money, so you can spend that time on the important things in your life or in the tasks that has higher priorities.





I'm not talking about time in general; try applying this in your daily work. For instance, if you are planning on a start-up next year, don't go to do all things in the process all by yourself. I know people who are techies who jump into start-ups and they build their own websites, they build their own apps, they do their marketing and they support their customers 24/7. I used to look at them and think 'jeez, how can they do all that in 24 hours' well I still think like that sometimes. I'm not here to judge them; I actually envy their dedication and devotion to their start-up. But, I asked my-self this 'is that what I want in my life?' and it didn’t even take a fraction of a second for me to answer that question. Ask yourselves, are you going to work on a start-up 24/7 with a big pay day someday with the hope of someone buying your million dollar idea or are you going to spend some quality time with your loved ones?. Are you going to lose all you youth and years just for a good retirement? This does not only apply for start-ups, it also applies for people who work on 9-5 jobs some from 9-9 or more in my country.





Choose wisely, what you want in life and spend your money on the right thing so it buys you some time to spend on the things with higher priority or things that matter the most.
