Forgot My Own Advice

I’m a little ticked … I ordered something off the web earlier this week, and selected ground shipping instead of 2-day because the price was double. I didn’t need it before Christmas, and I figured I could save the extra dollars for another day. Then I received the shipping confirmation and realized that my stuff will arrive when I’m out of town. If I paid the extra few dollars, it would have arrived before my trip, so I could have enjoyed it then.

I forgot my own advice … to realize the value of paying for a service if it benefits my time schedule. See, that happens to even me, once in awhile!

But I’ve learned and moved on. Since it’s Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Time is Money

Sometimes you have to remember that time is money. When you spend time trying to do something, and it’s not happening, think if there’s another way to get it done. Even if you have to pay someone else to do it. The time you spend unsuccessfully trying to do something could be spent instead working productively on something else, to greater profits.

Time wasted, is lost. Money spent to save time, is an investment.
