This is time, effort and money people tend to find difficult to allocate. Do they spend their day off across four locations going shopping and neglect their yard or catching up with friends? It's possible to do it all, but easier to convince yourself you can't because you're tired, saving money, stressed from work/kids/etc.
- raintrees 7y agoI agree. And I would also go further to suggest this set of priorities are part of what goes into my consideration of "quality of life." I have worked very hard to get myself to the point where I have the luxury of choosing to allocate my time and money this way. Definitely not all of my efforts have been successful, but as I continue to apply myself to my perceived values, I find success far more often than failure. And those successes for my efforts give me great satisfaction. I frequently find at the base of this the example of the children presented with the "marshmallow" test - The ability to delay gratification. Or as others have summarized: Work hard, then easy, rather than easy, then hard: By working hard in the beginning, later the work/living is easier. The alternate makes for a dim prospect for my future, so I make my choices appropriately.
