Did you learn to count on your fingers? Did you learn just how to count to ten? Take a moment and do a little experiment with me, use either hand and hold it out palm up comfortably. Using your thumb, tap on each finger segment on each of your 4 fingers (you can start from either end). Did you get 12? Good. Now, if youre not driving or something, you can do this next part too. Now that youve counted a full hand (12) mark that by putting up a finger on your OTHER hand. If you then repeat this, 4 more times, you will have counted to 60, right? And youre other hand will be open.

Why are we doing a silly counting exercise before the podcast Reegs? Whats this got to do with this week? Folks, this week, we’re going to talk about TIME.

What does it all mean?

If some asshole is ancient sumeria hadnt done it, some Gilded Age businessman still would have. Time is as valuable as YOU make it. Those who lament a lack of free time, should be sure to enjoy the free time they get. If your circumstances do not allow YOU the time to enjoy leisure activities, i STRONGLY encourage you to reevaluate your time usage. If youre not finding an outlet to be creative, if you have NO time for YOU, find some. If youve got too many kids, well, just wait for my antinatalism episode, sorry, not sorry.
Now I know, “Reegs, Ive got bills to pay” From episode 1, this podcast has recognized two things, the privilege I come from to be able to amke decisions like leaving jobs, and working LESS, but also 2 the mindset that you can get by with LESS. Less money for more time? Fair trade, isnt that the trade you make the other way to GO to work?
