Why do we waste our time on distractions?
Why would you be intentional with your time when you have a device that can spend the time for you? It can curate whatever you want to see for you. I don't blame us. I used to rage quit all the time. If I was playing FIFA and I was down by three goals, before halftime I would shut my console off. That was it. I was done. If I was playing Minecraft, listening to some Bangarang by Skrillex, bah!
What triggers our rage quits in life?
And I was working on my house, and next thing you know, all I hear is, I would shut my laptop. It was done. I was done. And all of those rage quits happened when I was super young, right? That was just my habit. But today, at the age of 23, I rage quit in real life. And this is why. I pulled up to one of my favorite parks in Austin, Texas, in Joe Roganville, Cybertruck City. And I was so excited to film a video topic that I had wanted to make for a while. I opened up my backpack and I find out that the folder that I keep all of my papers in wasn't there. It wasn't there, it was AFK, it was gone. And I got really upset. So upset that I just, I had set up everything. I was ready to go. And I just took everything down and I left.
How does not respecting our time affect us?
But I wasn't upset that I had forgotten the folder. That was just the thing that kind of ticked me off. It was because of all the little things I slowly realized I was doing that caused me to forget the folder. And it was becoming a habit. This is what I learned. Respect your time. You need to respect your time and we don't do it. We don't do it because time seems infinite. It seems like it just goes by and we have no control over it. And that doom scroll that started as 15 minutes on Reddit has turned into an hour and 30 minutes and you're in so deep that you decide whatever. And that's the problem. That's a huge problem. A lot of us feel like we don't have enough time for the things that we really like. It's because we don't respect our time in the first place.
What are the consequences of doom scrolling?
We don't treat our own time as if it is valuable when it is very valuable. It is so valuable. And for me, it causes me to make really simple mistakes. the folder should have been in my backpack yesterday when I knew that I had to film today and I wanted to film today I should have had the folder in my backpack why didn't I because I didn't respect my time instead I was watching I don't even know that's the problem I have no idea I don't know you could ask me what were you watching yesterday I can't tell you I have zero recollection of Because I don't respect my time. I don't fill it with, you know, watching something that I genuinely really want to watch. And it's not a... You know, I don't think you need to be productive all the time. Grind set. There's a productive way to watch TV and relax. No, like... That's not what I mean, but what I mean is you know when you're disrespecting your time.
How can we be intentional with our free time?
You know when you have something that needs to get done or you have something that you want to do and instead of doing it, you throw yourself under the bus by just doing something that it doesn't matter. You have an assignment that's due and instead you're cleaning, you're organizing your room, but you're really procrastinating and you're using that time for nonsense. And I say that because that's me, like every day. So how do we respect our time? How do we actually be intentional with the time that we get? Because most of the time throughout the week when you have other obligations, you have other things that you have to do, it's difficult to use your time that you now have, which is free.
What is the importance of building a relationship with time?
for yourself building a relationship with the time that you spend is like very important Because for a lot of us, we haven't been taught to really have a relationship with it. We're just kind of taught that when you don't have time, when you're not at work, when you're not at school, you do nothing. You don't do anything. And for a lot of us, that might be great. But for some of us that want to do something in our free time that we feel passion for, we want to create something, we want to work on something that won't cut it. Like that alone time, that time that is free is sacred. And it doesn't have to be, you know, for the grind. It can be like spending time with family.
