I like to say to myself (after setting up a time-saving action) "Wow, that'll pay off in dividends!" When you start thinking like this, you actively search out new ways to save time where it can compound itself. I was just thinking about this concept and how beneficial it is.

I read it over and over again and found the content compelling. Since reading your book I realize the value of my time. I read "The Answer" by John Assaraf, and it was a great compliment to your book. In his book he asks you to put a price on your time and by doing so, you learn to understand how precious your time is. I think when we start putting a price on our time we see how much we can accomplish and in turn use our time wisely. I love the concept of actually charging more for my time. It makes the dreaded 9-5 job easy to leave behind. I love your book. I read it over and over again and found the content compelling. Since reading your book I realize the value of my time.

This is easily conceptualized also by thinking about writing scripts to make things take less time -- the more time saving scripts you write the more time you have to write time saving scripts and the better you get at writing scripts! During a lot of my 9-5 job I spend a lot of time figuring out how to make things take less time and I find it to be well worth my time =) Furthermore, since time is a resource, there is also a time-value of time just like money. For example, 1 hr of my time today is far more valuable to someone than the promise of 1 hr 20 years from now. I believe this is absolutely true.
