One of the paradoxes of today’s young people is that they are always in a hurry to get things done in the short term, but when it comes to longer-term goals, they often seem to lack a sense of urgency. “They don’t realize how fleeting time is, how fast it goes,” a senior executive in a major information systems company told me. But aren’t Gen Yers plugged into today’s fast pace even more than those of older generations? I asked. “That’s true. They expect everything to be instant. They don’t think in months or weeks; they think in hours and minutes. But they don’t realize how little time there really is available to us. Every minute you spend on one thing is a minute you can’t spend on something else. Some things take a long time to do, and if you don’t do them right, sometimes they take even longer than they should. These young people spend way too much time on all the wrong things. They have to learn to spend their time more efficiently. It’s about setting priorities.”
Stay strong!
