How should a 24 Year old invest his time ? The title is a reflection of my age and my personal challenge for self-improvement, I am 24 years old. I have made mistakes and I have learnt from them, One thing that I wished I did in my earlier days was to attend University and be able to leave with a degree. However my parents could not afford It and I was not unable to attend due to my personal situation, I had to work to live . Nonetheless I lived my life not knowing much but spent my time watching mindless television for about 7 Hrs a day and browse the internet (social media) google news? What’s that? , a newspaper? what’s that? . Some time back I decided there needs to be a change in my life for the better .. I have made some changes Limit television to 4 HRS a week ( 1=Walking dead ,1=Sons of anarchy & 2 = a Movie) .Social media I check 6 AM and 5 PM (or whenever someone messaged me privately) . What are some thing you I invested my time in ? 1) Develop a Habit – It takes 21 days to develop a habit ,Some take longer depending on the individual and the task . Take for example tying your shoe laces after doing it for a while you do not think about it anymore, you are going into autopilot . • Read everyday – Preferably a Book not a blog ,A book is permanent in nature and a lot of research and the thought of the author ,This will keep your mind stimulated and open to ideas • Write Everyday – Put your thoughts and feelings to paper and this will unclutter your feelings and mind ,if you have a problem write it down and it will help you come up with a solution . The better you write the better you think . 2) Develop Your Mind – Learn a new skill E.g next year I will learn how to play the Piano 3) Avoid Junk In Your Mind – Just like your Body needs healthy food to run properly so does your mind ,Avoid mindless television 4) Take Care of your finances – I was $30,000 in debt and as of Jan 1 ,2015 ,I will be debt free . 5) Avoid Emotional vampires – If someone is always in negative thoughts and complain to you constantly its time you cut them out along with women who lay their relationship problem on you . 6) Take care of your relationships – I have few friends in my life “Motodramatica” but the few I have I treasure them and let them know they are dear to me by remembering birthdays, anniversaries etc . 7) Take one course a year in university – You are never too old to stop learning .Stay current with your education ..I am going to university for my degree .
