In one of his latest videos, Ali Abdaal talks about an interesting approach how to think about time that he read in the book "Happy Sexy Millionaire" by Steven Bartlett:

We have 16 waking hours every day times 7 = 112 waking hours per week. Imagine you're going into a casino and you're playing chips. And every time you go to the casino you have 112 chips to play with. And every hour you have to allocate that chip to something. You can't save it up - it's always going to be used.

This got me thinking. It's a way of viewing this abstract concept of time in a more concrete way. It certainly helped me thinking about my time more consciously and in some situations the concept lead me to a different decision: "Do I really watch another episode of this Netflix series? I already spent 2 chips on it today. Okay, I think that does not lead me to a more fulfilled life, let's checkout some JavaScript Frameworks".

I hope this approach also helps you to be more intentional with your time. How will you use your next chip?
