8. Make sure you only come on nairaland at night, and spend not more than 1 hour. If people could calculate how much time they spend on nairaland, they would be shocked. Just try not visiting nairaland for a full day and you would realize how much time you have for so many other things. 3 Likes |

Easier said than done. What do you say of a person who leaves home as early as 5.30am to resume in a toxic working environment, been chronically micromanaged by his boss. You can't even do side stuffs. You have no control over your life. You return home late in the night. And if you consider side hustles to put someone in charge, the unfortunate fellow would rip you off. Back to square one! Even on weekends, the time to plan is so short, that's if you don't even attend to some official issues. Before you know what's happening, the unfortunate Monday morning is here again. Same fvcking vicious cycle. Time management is sweet when you're in control of your affairs/life. 7 Likes |

ceeroh:You have just explained the working life of an average Lagos residence, but on the other hand,there is always a particular nudging that seems not to go away in our heart, no matter how busy you are,we still squeeze time for priorities, ask yourself this question bro,if I do not have the opportunity of going to school,what will I do with my life? I asked myself this and I discovered my childhood passion and I am on it now.Check your goal's and re-visit your childhood dream's, I know thing's are very hard in Nigeria but we shall definitely leave this "harsh phase" someday.I celebrate you bro. |

Darevofpeace: You're right bro. I just explained my previous predicament. Though I'm no longer in that situation. I've moved on, found my passion and started something for myself. Still growing anyway.... We'll surely get there. 1 Like |
