What is the best use of my time?

Time is money, and therefore it must be spent wisely. That is why I have decided to make these data-driven slides analyzing what is, quantitatively, the best use of my time.

I will analyze everything using five metrics: instant gratification value, future value, well-being value, financial value, and social value.

First, eating animal crackers. Eating animal crackers has the following scores:

• Instant Gratification Value: 8.5/10
• Future Value: 1/10
• Well-being Value: 1.5/10
• Financial Value: 0/10
• Social Value: 3/10
• Final Score: 14/50

Second, attending class lectures. Attending class lectures has the following scores:

• Instant Gratification Value: 2/10
• Future Value: 5.5/10
• Well-being Value: 5/10
• Financial Value: 7/10
• Social Value: 6/10
• Final Score: 25.5/50

Third, completing this assignment. Completing this assignment has the following scores:

• Instant Gratification Value: 7.5/10
• Future Value: 6/10
• Well-being Value: 4.5/10
• Financial Value: 5/10
• Social Value: 3/10
• Final Score: 26/50

Thus, the final scores are as follows:

1. Completing this assignment (26/50)
2. Attending class lectures (25.5/50)
3. Eating animal crackers (14/50)

As one can see, completing this assignment is the best use of my time, beating attending class lectures by 0.5 points!
