Einstein told us that time is merely an illusion. I’m forced to agree with him because there some times when it seems like time suddenly slows down or stops unprovoked. Read on to see the occasions when time wants to play around with your head.
1. When you’re planking
I can bet that planking was invented by the devil himself. When you’re planking, 2 minutes feels like two hours. 0/10 do not recommend.
2. When you’re waiting for HIV test result
If you’ve ever gotten tested for STD’s you know that 5 minutes you’re supposed to wait for the result is 3 hours. When the lab technician/doctor brings your result and is wasting time, this is you:
3. When you’re waiting for pregnancy test result
Women know that the three minutes you wait for after peeing on a stick feels like time is crawling on its knees. Next time you will not have premarital sex.
4. Writing an exam you didn’t study for
This one is the worst. When you first see the exam questions and nothing looks familiar. You didn’t study, so there’s nothing but inshallah and vibes in your head. You thought the exam was for two hours but you feel like 6 hours have passed since you started chewing your biro. God help you.
5. When you’re starving and the delivery guy hasn’t brought your food
This one is a matter of life and death. You’re starving and on the verge of death. In fact, your belly button is rubbing your backbone. You sharply order food and they said it’ll be delivered in 30 minutes. That’s long but you don’t have a choice.
Then you start to count the minutes one by one. 45 minutes has passed but in reality, it’s only been 3 minutes. Kuku kill me.
Should you pay N1,000 for the delivery of an item or should you take out 45mins – 1 hour of your time to pick it up?
Well, this answer differs per person but the good thing is that at the end of this article, you’ll know where you stand.
Time and its use differ among people. The simplest truth is this: the more time you invest in something, the greater the value you get out of it. People who spend their time building interpersonal relationships form stronger bonds with others. If you spend time in a high paying job, you make a lot of money. Also, if you volunteer for charities and N.G.O’s, you do highly rewarding work.
Whatever you want out of life, it all boils down to how you spend your 24 hours.
How much should I charge for an hour of my time?
I know by intuition that if you offer me N100 for one hour of my time I would curse you. However, if you offered me N10,000 for an hour, I’d be all smiles.
If only life was that straightforward and predictable. Many things that can’t be adequately charted happen in between these extremes. The sweet in the middle of N100 – N10,000.
So, how do I calculate how much I am worth?
For me, I used the Realized Income Method. This simply means I calculated based on the money that I made last year. The one that entered my account after tax over a period of 12 months.
For this, I got two crucial values:
How much time did I spend earning money?
How much was in my bank account after all the hustling?
And the answer is…
The last step was to divide the total money earned by the total number of time spent hustling.
So, I spent a total of 2,160 hours earning money:
At 1,469,436 per year = 1,469,436/12,600 = N681 per hour.
Conclusion:
Dear 2018 Self,
Wtf were you doing paying for all those deliveries when it was above your hourly rate? Remember, danfo is cheap and it’s also your friend.
I hope you are wiser now and you have more perspective on life. These numbers show you that when you calculate how many hours actually go into earning an income, you realize that you are being paid for some of your hours and not all of them. I.e commute time is not factored into your hourly rate.
When you factor in all of the time spent in pursuit of a salary, you realize the true cost of your time – and many times, this is way below what you get paid at your 9-5.
So, do your calculations based on your own hours and income and get an idea of what to outsource and what to do for yourself.
