I value my mental space a lot. And by lot, I mean a lot.
Everyone knows that time is money, but I believe that mental space is money as well. While our mind is capable of handling unbelievable amount of data, the more garbage you put in your mind, the slower and more inefficient the mind becomes.
There are only so many things I can spend my bandwidth on, and I would rather spend my mental bandwidth on thinking about things that are productive. I actively avoid thinking even remotely about anything that is unproductive.
I don’t spend time on overthinking, because that is a complete waste of time. I would rather spend that time on acting on the next steps instead. Overthinking is not going to yield any result, and in most the cases, the issues we worry about the most are completely irrelevant issues.
I don’t think about emotional issues or stress either, because the amount of time I spend thinking about these issues could be very well spent on something better.
Similarly, I don’t give a hoot to what the society thinks about me. While I appreciate constructive feedback, I really do not care about anything else that society or anyone else might say. For me, the most important use of my time is to do what seems right to me, instead of getting emotionally involved with the opinions of society.
In my mind, I have a list of things I have to accomplish every single day. That list is always ambitious enough to keep me going, and I would rather spend my full mental space and time on those activities. Those activities include not just work, but also my hobbies - reading books, playing Badminton, dancing Salsa, travelling, scuba diving or any other activity I wish to take up.
Believe me, the more you value your mental space, the more you will be able to get things done.
