I am a half-completed "to do" list...
An actual CURRENT post? What the wha?!?
Slowly starting to complete the various projects I have laid out for myself. It really does help to actually schedule the time to do certain things each day. I started setting alarms on my iPhone just to handle that exact type of thing. So here's to becoming a little more efficient with each passing day.
Food for thought
So a little while ago, I was asked, "Would you rather have a million dollars today? Or one penny doubled every day for one month?" The age old question right? Now or later? Instant gratification or patience? Well, the only question I would ask is...what month? Because one penny doubled every day for every day of the month, EXCEPT for February actually is equivalent to MORE than $1 million. By the 28th day of the month, you would have accumulated $671,088.64. So if it's a 30 or 31-day month, you would end up with roughly $2.5 and $5.4 MILLION dollars, respectively. Now how's that for patience? Even if you were to invest that $1 million, there's no way you'd be able to double or triple it in as quick of a time. But to some people, it might be worth it; of course, only BEFORE thinking it all the way through. You didn't have the million 30 days ago, so what's 30 more days? I thought it was a phenomenally interesting question...one that is far more illustrative than the $20 now or $30 next week question.
