Exactly. I'm sick of these hypothetical "value of my time" arguments as an excuse for profligate consumption. I can estimate my time is worth $20,000/hour, but if I'm not
actually working during whatever time I've specified and not
actually getting paid $20,000/hour for it, it's absolutely meaningless. Every minute of every day that I'm not working and earning money is, by their logic, "wasted," and I should minimize the time it takes to do...
everything else, regardless of actual cost.
Or, I can keep repeating the word "value," and eventually--value--maybe I'll--value--see the light. Value.
Value.
