Opportunity Cost

I've been trying to post more. Really, I have. More frequently, I think of ideas for my next posts but can't seem to find the time to put them in print. This got me thinking about the tradeoffs that we make because the truth is there's always time. It's what we choose to do with it that makes the difference.

These days I find myself most often choosing between sleeping, studying, working out, and going out. Each decision then creates its own line of consequences and subsequent choices. For example, if I sleep now, I'll have less time to study later. The same idea applies to the approach I've taken towards the MBA program. There has been such a focus on academics that my efforts on internship and career search have really suffered.

These opportunity costs exist in all aspects of our lives. While some of us can multitask, there are only a limited number of things we can do at one time. It's interesting to think that what we choose to do at each moment constantly affects the course of our lives - almost like an ongoing 'choose-your-own-adventure' book.
