How Much is Your Time Worth? Could You Spend it More Wisely?
I have many older oak and pine trees in my yard. During the summer, they provide a tremendous amount of shade. During the winter, they cause me a tremendous amount of work.
Today I spent over four hours blowing and raking the leafs off my grass. As the mind-numbing hours slowly ticked away, I could not help but wonder if I should have just paid someone to do it for me. Could I have created a new passive income stream in the four hours I wasted outside? Could I have written 10 articles on eHow or Bukisa? Could I have written a few articles to submit to ezinearticles or goarticles?
What should I have done?
My wife always tells me that I need some balance in my life. I work really hard Monday through Friday at my day job. I spend a few hours chasing my son around the sofa and playing with Thomas the Tank Engine, then I hang out with my best friend for a few hours before bed. So maybe spending a few hours outside wasn’t such a bad thing.
