Time is worth more than money. It took me years to understand that life-changing idea.

There are so many demands on our time and we foolishly opt in to BS all the time without necessarily realizing it. These brain drain activities serve no tangible benefit and only leave us with less time than we had before.

With less time, we make worse and worse decisions, separate ourselves from our loved ones, do less work we enjoy, and have less time to do whatever the hell we want to do — even if that means staring out the window.

Here’s what is not worth your time.

Being Offended

Not every person is going to love you. Sorry to break it to you brah.

I offend people all the time when it’s not my intent. People can take an article written about a popular investor and turn it into a hate speech that was apparently inspired by Jack the Ripper. Seriously.

It’s not worth your time getting offended. If you’re making even 10% of people happy then you’re doing okay. Go small and deep for likability. Build a network of people around you that is tiny and awesome. Make 1000 true fans your absolute ceiling if you can.
