The woman stepped inside the café, took one look at the queue, turned on her feet, and left.
Her hunt for morning coffee would continue elsewhere.
She’d made a bet.
That she’d save time by finding another café, hopefully with a shorter queue.
People are making these choices all day, all the time. We all know how precious a commodity time is.
Life is short, and we feel it.
We are drawn to things that promise better uses of our time.
• Beautiful holidays, even if they cost more.
• Quick-fix solutions.
• Outsourced help.
• And paths that promise time saved.
But we overlook the best way to save time:
A still mind.
We make better decisions when we get good at lowering self-induced stress through worry and rumination.
Decisions rooted in un-clouded wisdom instead of confused thought-heavy illusions.
I’ve lost literally years of my life to poor decisions I made when I was overly stressed, frustrated, angry or simply confused.
Over the years, I learned how to have clearer thoughts.
