how much is your time worth?

If you had to place a dollar value on your time, what would it be? $50 an hour? $100 an hour? Maybe even $1,000 an hour!? Your time is precious and very valuable, wouldn’t you say?

Have you ever felt that your time was being wasted? Maybe you’ve been on the phone with someone who put you on hold to take another call. Possibly you were once working on an important project, when someone decided to stop by and “shoot the breeze.” We are all familiar with these common distractions and time wasters.

Let’s suppose you value your time at $100 an hour. Imagine throwing $100 down the drain every hour…that really adds up! Well, if you think about it, you are doing exactly that when you waste time on needless activities. If you knew you were losing $100 an hour, would you continue to let you time dwindle away on unimportant activities? Probably not! Even 15 minutes of wasted time here and there would really add up.

Placing a dollar value on your time will help you determine what you are willing, or not willing, to spend time on. Don’t ever sell yourself short. Establish how much your time is worth and use that value to make decisions on how you will spend it.
