Don’t be overly-opportunistic. That is, don’t worry too much about using every opportunity you have to do something. That’s the problem I often run into. If I have a few extra minutes I wasn’t expecting, I start to go into high-alert, trying to think of what I can do to use that time.
Don’t be like me.
If you find yourself in a store you didn’t expect to be in, don’t start thinking about all the things you could buy. Just don’t buy anything.
Generally, speaking, if you find yourself with extra time, money, or resources than you were anticipating, and if no good use of that time, money, or resources is readily available, don’t use it. Don’t feel obligated to use what you didn’t expect to have.
