256/365 - Free time isn't free (Jarod Kintz)


“If you only had 48 hours
 left to live, 
would you spend it 
like you normally
 spend your weekends?

 If not,
 why spend 2/7th of your life 
wasting your free time? 

After all,
 free time isn’t free.

 Free time
 is the most expensive time
 you have, 
because nobody
pays for it but you. 

 But that also makes it
 the most valuable time you have,
 as you alone
 stand to reap the profits
 from spending it wisely.”

  - Jarod Kintz
