The moment I learned how to manufacture time.
When you take on a new project, it’s more money.

 

But it’s more work.

But it’s more money!

Plus, you don’t know if and/or when the work could dry up.

So the best thing to do is to take on every project, even if you have to work more than 40 hours a week, right?

That’s how you end up missing important life events.

That’s how you end up disappointing your loved ones.

And that’s how you “burn the candle at both ends.”

You know what it means when the wick on your candle is burnt out.

Don’t worry; I have a solution!
