It implies that the rest of us aren&#8217;t using our time as productively, but the medium delivering the message is one of the biggest time-wasters right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making the best use of my time includes making time for things I enjoy. I&#8217;ve had some passion project ideas in the past year, but I didn&#8217;t think it was the best use of my time. I&#8217;d been focusing on things that generated revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s funny how lessons we need a refresher on can creep up on you. I know from past experiences that focusing on revenue generation doesn&#8217;t work for me, yet that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been doing. The only difference is the type of work I&#8217;m doing and where I&#8217;m doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will work on my plan for 2024, and one of my goals is to make time for projects that generate revenue AND those that tug at my heartstrings. I&#8217;m excited about the possibilities yet realistic about the challenges that may occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s like finding the perfect &#8220;work\/life&#8221; balance. It will never be an equal 50-50 split between the two, but awareness will help you be more aware of the imbalances, and then you can adjust as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m grateful that we live in a country where time moves slowly. I feel like I can accomplish a lot more in a day. Maybe it&#8217;s the climate or the early sunrises, but I plan to take advantage of the feeling of increased productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look forward to the next few weeks of goal planning. I will share the big ones here, so I&#8217;ve made a public commitment to making them happen. \ud83e\udee1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve seen memes on social media that say that the &#8220;successful&#8221; people have the same hours in the day as everyone else.
