“I don’t have any time for easy and repetitive tasks” I once told while living in student hostels a friend of mine.
He replied that I’d better become someone really important, to really prove that I don’t have any time.
I thought, back then, that if I skip easy and repetitive tasks, that this proves I’m paying attention to my time.
Sometimes in the past one or two months, I’ve read a thought – “If you want to give someone a task, choose someone who’s really important and busy, it’s more likely that the person will do it”.
And I think this is the real thing.
I previously wrote that the most important thing for working efficiently is passion.
The same logic applies to time management – it’s not that important if you have 6 hours of work in a day or 10 hours, for a lot of creative and non-repetitive tasks.
A busy person is more likely to have accomplished lots of things and to know the value of a job done correctly.
