Image by fancycrave1 from Pixabay Last week, I found some candles I'd hardly used (and if that isn’t a catchy opener, I don’t know what is!) Anyway... I thought I’d sell the candles on Craigslist.
I laid them out nicely, took a few pictures, and then realized... It was NOT worth my time to do this. I would likely get ten bucks. Maybe twenty. And I don’t mean my time is more valuable than anyone else’s. Just there were so many other things I could be spending my time on, that would be more worthwhile. So, a question to ask yourself, every now and then: Is it worth my time to do this?
Give it a go. Is it worth your time? Here's one for starters: Is it worth your time to read this email? (If no - head off now and do something else... something more worthwhile to you! If yes - fantastic! Keep reading!) Because we only have so many hours in the day, and if we're doing things we really WANT to be doing, we'll feel much better. Sounds obvious, I know. But sometimes we need that reminder ;) So, is it worth your time to be checking your emails right now... or is there something more worthwhile you could be doing? And remember: resting and relaxing are a worthwhile way to spend your time (and if that involves social media, or TV, or video games, that’s totally fine). Just make sure you’re not doing them out of habit... mindlessly. And one final question: Is it worth our time to go after our goals and dreams? Hell yes! As always, I’d love to know what you think. You can leave a comment below, or send me an email any time. If it's worthwhile for you :) Claire ❤

I had one of those it's-not-worth-my-time moments yesterday. I was using an app that paid me cash back for certain products I bought. After a few minutes of scanning the products to click on the little digital checkbox, I realized I had made only 25 cents. My time is worth more than that, so I deleted the app.

Ha Priscilla, that's hilarious - and exactly what I mean! Sometimes our time is just worth more. Good for you for seeing that, and not spending hours just to earn a couple of dollars.
