One of the chief marketing ploys these days is “It saves time!”
What are we saving all this time up for? I understand saving time so you can spend it on more worthy things like enjoying time with your kids, dating your spouse, and showing your prize pigs.
But when you are scrimping time everywhere in your life does that not perhaps indicate a cheap attitude? How much time you spend at a particular task often indicates how much value you place on it.
The difference between candy bar relationships and deep relationships is how much time is put into them. You are more likely to have a deep relationship with the people you write notes and letters to than the ones you communicate with digitally. That is because you aren’t scrimping time on those relationships; you are investing it in them because you value those people.
This is what you are saving all that time up for.
