Great post @onyemacourage.
I do agree with your post. But just give a thought to this.
Many people who do not have enough money with themselves do have this thought that rich are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer and at the same time, they think that being rich is evil.
They need to understand one basic thing. It may be the case that we do not have an equal amount of money but all of us have got an equal amount of time which amounts to 1440 minutes a day (24hrs). The people who grow in life know how to effectively use and multiply their time and they reach a state where money starts working for them instead of they working for money throughout their life to earn a living every day.
I agree that all of us have multiple distractions in life which ultimately affects the time we take to reach our goals, but it's a matter of choice I suppose. We choose to let the distractions and challenges come our way and affect us. We spend time on distractions and worrying about it, instead of focussing on what is needed at that point in time.
I just wanted to make my point regarding using our time effectively so that we can reach goals early. It's okay to take the time needed provided efforts are taken in the right directions and not being wasted on something which doesn't add any value.
You are right anyway. But speed does not really matter. How organised a person can make use of his resources is also very important
That was the whole point @padosky. Cutting onto everything that distracts a person is the first step. And that is where organising oneself starts. Then comes the 80-20 rule which I follow personally. We always have so many things on the list to be taken care of, but 80% of the stuff shouldn't be given high priority because they yield to just 20% of the results. What matters the most here is to prioritise the items on the list in the first place and then go for that 20% of the list which makes all the difference.
