The importance of time

[IRuleMeParticipant]

As MGTOW’s, we talk a lot about the personal journey, and the inward reflection that brings personal discovery. Chief of that is the issue of time management. As awakened red pillers, we have something to our advantage that the blue pillers do not. The ability for us to make positive progress in our lives, uninhibited by bulls~~~.

Freeing oneself from the burden of females allows us the time and resources to focus on self improvement and happiness. It’s as much psychological as anything else, but it boils down to time management. If your life were divided up into $1 increments, what would you spend it on? If you had to hand over $1 to buy time, with which to accomplish something, how would you cash it in? Would you look back at the times you turned in $1 for time to do something, and be happy how you spent it, knowing the number of $1’s in your wallet were limited?

The “time” in life that you spend doing any particular thing, you’re effectively purchasing with one of those $1’s. Just as it’s important to control your finances, it’s equally important to control your time. Both are a valuable commodity.

Relationships WASTE: Time, Resources, Cash, and Mental Stability/ Focus ETC. ETC.

Women ARE Parasites by their very nature, and how can they do ANYTHING else but suck the very Life out of Men ?

Great topic. With sovereignty as a red pilled man my time is free to do what I want. I am not going to squander it on dating websites or anything that takes something away from me. Be that time or money. As ECP said spend it wisely.

Or every weekend having some event to spend money and time on.

Birthdays holidays I don’t miss any of it.

So true, people forget that their most precious resource in life is time, and once spent you never can earn it back. I chose to spend my time on my hobbies and I am now looking at starting my own business so I can ditch the corporate world bulls~~~ for something that is under my control.

I like the idea of having to hand over money every time you spend time, good way to look at it, except, unlike money you can’t earn anymore time.

This can’t be overstated. As an awakened while married man, I’ve learned the hard way to “say NO to 1,000 things”*. Minimalism has help a lot with this as well.

*“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully…I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.” – Steve Jobs

I can attest this I’ve started wining in life after ridding myself of bulls~~~. For my entire life much was entirely out of my reach. Now that simply isn’t the case any longer.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

When I started out MGTOW I was left alone from a divorce and I had lots of time that had been filled by other people. It felt odd and bit depressing at first. I mentioned my feelings of emptiness (not to be confused with loneliness) to this forum, and guys here encouraged me to spend time with a garden. So I did. Then I started fixing my home. It has snowballed from there. I have done some awesome things with the time that I used to spend on others.

I learned this:: What I do with the time is less important than who I use the time for.

Time wasted on me is better than time spent for someone else. Regardless, if the time is productive or not.

Time, like money, is spent. Treat it like it was money.

This.

Oh, time without any doubt is a fascinating quantity in itself.

However I object to disagree that wasted time is always a bad thing per se. Even though whenever it is linked to time management with regards to the notion that time is usually very precious and therefore should mostly be spent wisely rather than “wasted”.

Now of course I could go ahead and say: “What if…?” or even “better”: “Damn, I only got another say roughly 30 to 35 years left on this planet and time flies whenever you’re having fun and/or are busy, so NO I clearly can’t afford to waste any more time than I already “wasted” then and then and there and there…”

But here is the thing: You should know whenever it is perfectly ok (for you) to (most notably in other people’s eyes) consciously “waste” time as in quality time and to enjoy doing so…

You know for my next longer period of taking time off from work (for about 5 weeks) at the beginning of ’18, I am going to do an experiment: I am going to leave my wrist watch off and lock it away for at least one or two weeks and I’m gonna see what will happen then, having only a rough clue about what time it will be according to the bright and dark hours of day and night. I would call that my “time freedom experiment”.

In the end “wasting time” ideally should be a matter of one’s own definition. And therefore I do honestly think that even idleness (if practiced consciously and willingly) can be a bit of an art form.

I would imagine that it will take me a long (lifelong) time to finally fully understand time and all its rules but by the time I will my time will be up. Now how is that for irony..?

And yet in my own opinion it takes skill to consciously enjoy your “wasted time” and that is what would really make it “quality time” whichever way you might define it and for that to be the case you should be able to draw a definitive line between work time on the one hand which could be classified as “wasted time” and leisure time as in “quality time” on the other hand and at the same time not being too dependent on other people’s definition of the time you choose for your own definition of either of the two at any time…

Time out for now…

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC

Excellent points, time is one of our most important commodities.
