How to not waste your life?

Time is the most important commodity in life. Everyone has the same amount. It depends on how we use it.
Best is to use time on things that make you happy and also on things that make you money and in turn helps you earn more time, while your money works for you!
 
I often feel guilty when I spend my time on leisure activities knowing there is always "work" to be done.
 
Just because you have money doesn't mean you don't waste your life. You interpret having a lot of money as a very full life. Hey man! You're wrong. Money is only for a car and a house; And for maybe a little sweet cake...

If your life is just about making money, you're really wasting it. But don't be afraid! There is still hope...
Do good and love people, Be enlightened and crown your soul. Make peace with nature and go for a walk in a forest.


And believe in and worship who created you. Religion illuminates the soul.

Who told you this were life goals?
 
I really wonder whether nobody understands that the answer to "When do you not have the feeling of wasting your time?" is not "Read some book" or "when you're doing something unbeneficial for you as a human being" but "When I am doing X, Y and Z then I don't have the feeling of not wasting my time".

If that's a schizofrenic post, just tell us upfront, we won't respond or ar least won't treat you seriously.
 
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:19-21

To me, this Bible verse sums up what is ultimately important in life.
 
When you do what you like in which you can able to monetize a little, you can further scale it because you have the passion on the specific work.
 
Honestly like, you're one of my favourite people here lol.

When do you not have the feeling of wasting your time?
Pretty much when I am doing anything unproductive. Wasting hours watching funny youtube videos and movies will be a sure fast way to depression. Keep yourself busy with the right work.

Thanks for the reply. I wrote "When do you not have the feeling of wasting your time?" ie "When do you have the feeling of using your time well?".
I'd appreciate your answer with some examples...
 
Listen to music, even u do nothing. Just lying down listen to music is productive.

Oh sorry, I misread. I don't have the feeling of wasting time when I am balancing my efforts in both working to provide money that is needed, as well as, working in the house doing chores etc. I always try to keep as busy as possible. Idling and doing nothing, might feel pleasurable for sometime, but soon enough, it catches up with you, and the guilt of wasted moments kicks in.
 
When do you not have the feeling of wasting your time?
Giving you a fair answer, I don't feel like I'm wasting my time when I'm doing something with an objective or strong ambition. Once I've achieved my goal, I get the feeling that I didn't waste my time in vain.

I'll begin using your own example: learning a new language. I don't speak English perfectly – not even close – but I do feel like I haven't wasted my time learning it, which took me more than ten years. Another one would be reading a good book. A good book that brings you some value.

And now, my opinion about it is that it's easy to feel you're wasting your time in whatever you do. If you see it through a contemporary perception – strongly based on my personal perception. There's a lot of 'paths' out there. There's no right or wrong, and the worst of the evils, there are too many distractions. There's always something new, or better.

You can be so many things and at the same time, you cannot. You can try 450382 things, and there will be something else that's going to make you ask this same question over and over. Am I wasting my time?

What's worth or not, is subjective. In sum, if you're doing something that adds value to yourself, then you shouldn't feel like you're wasting your time. Oh, and by 'value' I also mean it subjectively. Does it bring you knowledge? Does it entertain you? Does it make you feel happy or perhaps accomplished? And so on.
