Have you ever placed a value
on your time? Have you actually tried to put a
dollar figure on it?
Say you are making $50
an hour for a 40-hour workweek. Not bad-you are
making more than $100,000 a year. But take a
closer look-the figures ignore your unpaid
overtime, commuting, time spent in seminars and
networking.
Vicki Robin, co-author with
the late Joe Dominguez of "Your Money or Your
Life," figures that for many of us, that $50
actually shrinks down closer to $12.50. If our
time is so precious-can it really be worth so
little?
This is a decade of awareness. A
pervasive sense of time fanine had engendered new
ways of viewing the intersection of working and
living. A lucky few have managed to reconcile the
conflicts-but not without
compromise.
Compromise can come in the form
of less pay and a less expensive lifestyle, or
compromise can come in the form of a more
expensive lifestyle at the expense of less time
with friends and family.
Take the overtime
discussed earlier. Much of the work done during
overtime hours is work that can be accomplished
during a normal business day. But we spend so much
time on non-value added activities such as
shuffling papers, looking for files, answering
mail, electronic and otherwise, and attending
endless meetings.
Many people do their own
administrative clerical work-with the advent of
the personal computer, most people type their own
letters, file their own reports, and update their
own databases. Far too often, you find people
rooting thru piles of paper trying to find
information they need. I’ve had clients who have
told me that it literally takes them on average 45
minutes to find something they need among their
piles of files and paper. That is about 44 minutes
of lost time to that individual.
Those 44
minutes-repeated daily-can often mean the
difference between getting home for dinner with
your family or having to eat take-out at the
office, they can mean the difference between
having enough vacation time left for an actual
vacation rather than having to use them up as sick
days, they can mean the difference between taking
home an overstuffed briefcase to do yet more work
when you get home versus taking a walk in the
twilight with your honey.
So, what is your
time worth to you?
