time is the only resource
I have been struggling to think about how I will earn more money. But no matter how I think about what I would do with money, it comes back down to what would you do after you buy what you want. There is this profound need for the human experience to do something. This activity can only be performed during the time we are still here. And also during this time, we are committed to various activities such as commute which cannot be avoided. Hence time is the one true resource. Further from this, the one true purpose of the human experience would be to utilize this resource and produce something constructive. That means to be productive. So a framework for keeping one motivated would be, to ask, how much time do I have now, and which can I produce in this time. This time frame can be broken into days, weeks, years. But both questions are important. By asking what you can produce today, you will be forced to think of the end of a task. Else if you have open ended todo lists, then tasks will keep getting pushed. Have a plan for the day, the week, the month and the year, and follow through.
