In my practice as an occupational therapist, I hired and fired office aides and therapist employees. The most valuable employees were those that always added something to the job; their joyful personality, their compassion, their ability to care for themselves as well as others. They consistently were aware of business and patient needs.

In the realm of work and compensation, your time’s worth is not solely determined by the hours you put in but rather by the quality and impact of your contributions.

Whether in terms of productivity or creativity, focus on the significance and efficiency of your efforts, highlighting that true compensation is a reflection of the value you bring to the table rather than the mere passage of time. Make your time valuable. It inspires a mindset that values effectiveness, innovation, and excellence in order to maximize the returns on one’s time and efforts.
