The most important lesson I learned from graduate school is that everything can be accomplished, as long as you have enough time to dedicate to your goals. Some people’s time is more valuable than others, the important thing is that each one of us puts a price on our own time and how we use it to archive our goals.
The way I see it is that the main goal is to be very productive in a short amount of time and get things done right. This is very counter intuitive in our culture. At one time or another, we have all felt proud because we have spent countless hours in the office working on a project. In reality, this is a trick the brain plays. Sometimes we are so busy doing things that are not important, yet, we feel proud because we use time as a measure of accomplishments. Instead, we should measure our progress based in terms of productivity and returns on investment.
