"La manera más peligrosa de perder tiempo no es gastarlo divirtiéndose, sino gastarlo haciendo trabajo falso."
— Paul Graham
Simplified Meaning:
Spending time on tasks that only seem important but don't actually achieve anything is a big waste. For example, imagine pretending to study by just highlighting your textbook without understanding the material. This looks productive but doesn’t help you learn. It's better to have fun or rest, because at least that relaxes and refreshes you. In real life or at work, make sure what you do really makes a difference, like completing meaningful projects or truly learning something new. This way, your time is well spent, and you can see real results from your efforts.
