Effects of Ownership. It refers to valuing what one owns from one’s own perspective. The competition to buy tickets for the Duke University basketball game was very fierce, so the university decided to distribute tickets through a lottery. Some students applied for the same ticket, and among them, the winning students and dropout students were asked about their valuations: the winners were asked how much they would sell the ticket for, while the dropout students were asked how much they would buy it for. The lowest selling price from the winners was $2,410, whereas the highest buying price from the dropout students was $170. The difference was substantial. When asked why they thought so, ticket holders considered the value of giving up the ticket, while ticket buyers considered the value of exchanging cash for it. In other words, possession represented the benefit of sacrificing something else. Value judgments depend on what we own. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Not running out of time, but it's hesitation to make your priority what's most important with a stressful mind by yourself. However, even if you have made a decision your priority when you feel a lack of time, you're taking a burden beyond your capacity or yet to equip the proper system to carry it out. Neither is desirable. Not all of them are, but most of the time, you tend to be poor if you're busy for no reason. You may be busy for a while, but you should be alert to stay busy because it's easy to lose your health, to lose your money, and eventually to lose your people. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
