Lately, I've been so overwhelmed, My business growing, Trying to also do my part-time job, While I pursue other opportunities while writing on Steemit.
Normally I'm not allowed to get fast food, And I instead opt for home cook meals or Freshly
But lately, I've just gone ahead, Jumped in my car and gotten fast food. For probably like 3-4 days straight.
I do it to save time, But I realize that I'm not saving much time at all.
Traffic & Driving
You can order delivery, But unless you live in an area with more options. You may be limited to pizza.
So you'll need to drive to pick up food, Which requires time, and resources.
For most people, this is still a less time-consuming option than cooking at home. Many people will just go through a drive-through and eat in their car. Bypassing the time wasted from being stuck in traffic.
It Makes you feel like crap
This is a big one that I started realizing real fast. The first day I went out to eat, I just didn't have the energy to work. And I didn't quite know why. But after repeated days. I realized I don't have energy at all. This lack of energy wastes a ton of time! Because you can't be as productive, and can't get your work done.
You'll feel sluggish.
Sure, There are more healthy fast food places popping up, but they still seem fairly rare for most of us.
Is It Worth The Money?
Depending on the pricing and how much you make, If you were to get a regular meal at a fast food place, your looking at 7-10 dollars.
Of course, you can order on the whole value menu.
But for many of us, 7-10 dollars is an hour, Or close to an hour of work. Even if it's only a half hour for you, That's still 30 minutes of your resources wasted for one meal. Most meals can be made much cheaper than that. If you are more price conscious.
You could have prepared something at home in a half hour, And had enough for a few meals.
While I value my time over my money, I'm seeing that going out to eat, Is a waste of time. It makes us feel sluggish so we can't be as productive, Which makes us get less out of our day.
The food we get, We could have prepared more in the same amount of time And paid less.
