There’s no savings account for time.
There’s no compounding interest.

Your attention is your most valuable asset but it is incredibly scarce and in-demand. Prioritize the number of fukcs you give to a few important things and forget the rest.
Alexi Pappas on the truth about time:
“'I don’t have enough time' is not a useful phrase when it comes to anything related to your dream. It’s okay to actively choose to do something or not, but don’t blame time.”
