Little: One of the Worst Ways to Waste Time
One of my favorite things to do is to help my sister Elizabeth clear clutter. (If you want to listen to my all-time favorite episode, Very Special Episode 10, recorded from inside Elizabeth’s clutter-filled closet, listen here.)
Our efforts included a good example of an important Secret of Adulthood: One of the worst ways to waste time is to do well something that we need not do at all.
I wonder: Is this a special problem for Upholders? It’s probably not much of a problem for Questioners.
Have you ever caught yourself pouring a lot of time and energy into something that, really, you didn’t need to bother to do at all?
