Wise Quotes
On Managing Time vs. Managing Choices
“Choice management is a far more personally impactful term than time management, especially for retirees. The term itself reminds us that so many things really are our choice. Choice management is all about strategically and intentionally being happier by making better day-to-day decisions. When I think of time management, I think about being more efficient with the limited minutes and hours we have each day…Choice management is much more personal. It’s not profit oriented, it’s happiness-oriented…What is the best way to combat being time rich for true deep down, purposeful happiness? I think the answer is helping others somehow, some way. This, of course, is your choice. There are so many, many ways to help others and that can very easily fill up the day and say when your head hits the pillow at night, Gee, I accomplished something important today.”
On Happiness
“Life is a constant balancing act between finite resources, time and money – and an infinite desire to be happy. Many do this juggling act without a lot of thought. When you’re at the cusp of retirement it is absolutely crucial. To be thoughtful and intentional at this major fork in the road, you really need to narrow down the endless options to what may actually work for you. Financial advisors solve for financial goals when the true goal is always to maximize family happiness. So, you probably need to go a little more deeper and understand time management and what actually makes you happy. There are tons of books, articles, Ted talks on daily happiness, many, many resources on finding purpose for life satisfaction. The books, and a lot of these resources, are mostly other people’s stories and the real question is what about the unique you?”
