You’ve heard the old saying “Time is money.” I can think of three things that are timewasters, at least for me. Shopping, technology and its cousin social media can waste a lot of time.

Probably the biggest waste of time is the tools, gadgets, apps, and games that are in social media.

Technology does have its good side. Technology can save a lot of time. Back in the day when I was a beginning accountant every thing was done on spread sheets which took a long time to generate. Columns pf figures had to be added (or subtracted) on an adding machine.

Today those spread sheets can be generated at the click of a button and the computer replaces the adding machine.

Today we can do things virtually, which save a lot of time.

Shopping used to require wandering around the store looking for what you needed or wanted. Today you can go on Amazon and find anything from coffee filters to today’s best seller and find it on your doorstep that afternoon.

When you determine what you want and the importance of getting to your goals, then you will be able to change how you control your time and money.
