The Value of Time Begins with the Value of You

Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it

Scott Peck, a psychiatrist and author best known for The Road Less Traveled, nailed it: "Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it." Brutal, but true.

Look around—how many people waste hours doomscrolling, saying yes to pointless meetings, or binge-watching shows they don’t even like? Why? Because deep down, they don’t think their time—or themselves—are worth more.

Here’s a challenge: treat your time like money. If you wouldn’t throw €50 in the trash, stop throwing away an hour on nonsense. Next time someone asks you for something useless, ask yourself: Would the best version of me say yes to this? If not, say no and invest that time in something that actually matters—learning, creating, or just enjoying life.

Value yourself first. Your time will follow.
