Boston Condos for Sale and Apartments for Rent
Sometimes I tend to think about what I don’t have; a house on the ocean, a big career that I could use to impress the people at my high school reunion.
Then I hear her car in the driveway. I think we’ll grill tonight. Later we’ll watch some reruns of sitcoms from a long time ago that remind me of when we were young. He’ll doze off and it’s time for the day to end. We’ll say good night to the cats. We’re all still here; a miracle. When I’m very old, I will wish for a day like this
1,000 minutes a day…
Most Bostonians sleep about seven or eight hours a night. That leaves 16 or 17 hours awake each day. Or about 1,000 minutes.
Let’s think about those 1,000 minutes as 100 10-minute blocks. As a potential Boston condo buyer That’s what you wake up with every day.
Throughout the day, you spend 10 minutes of your life on each block, until you eventually run out of blocks and it’s time to go to sleep.
It’s always good to step back and think about how we’re using those 100 blocks we get each day. How many of them are put towards making your future better, and how many of them are just there to be enjoyed? How many of them are spent with other people, and how many blocks are used for time to educate yourself on the Boston condo for sale market? Which are your favorite blocks of the day, and which are your least favorite?
Imagine these blocks laid out on a grid. What if you had to label each one with a purpose?
You’d have to think about everything you might spend your time doing in the context of its worth in blocks. Cooking dinner requires three blocks, while ordering in requires zero—is cooking dinner worth three blocks to you? Is 10 minutes of meditation a day important enough to dedicate a block to it? Reading Boston Real Estate Blog or real estate books 20 minutes a night allows you to read 15 additional real estate books a year—is that worth two blocks?
Getting a drink with a friend after work takes up about 10 blocks. How often do you want to use 10 blocks for that purpose, and on which friends? Which blocks should be treated as non-negotiable in their labeled purpose and which should be more flexible? Which blocks should be left blank, with no assigned purpose at all?
Now imagine a similar grid, but one where each block is labeled exactly how you spent it yesterday.
The question to ask is: How are the two grids different from each other, and why? if buying a Boston condo for sale maybe one of your largest investments, out of the 1,000 minutes a day, how many minutes are you dedicating to it?
