Ep. 34 | Misallocation of Time

Show Notes: In today’s episode, I discuss the challenges that arise when students misallocate their time. Do you see anything wrong with the following scenario? Sarah has spent over 5,000 hours participating in [enter common extracurricular activity here], an activity that will add only marginal value to her college application. At the same time, Sarah is extremely reluctant to spend 30-40 hours this summer preparing for the SAT, a test that will have massive impact on her college application.
