Flush the Toilet: Young Entrepreneurs

I remember once upon a time when I wasn’t an active entrepreneur (can you believe that? ha) and I always seemed to be cooking. I feel that back then, I had a lot more time to cook in the morning, afternoon, and at night. It was pretty fun, too.

Nowadays, to be honest, there are some times when I have to remind myself to eat. Instead of spending the time to actually cook my meals, I opt to purchasing prepared food from Whole Foods Market, which is absolutely awesome by the way.

Don’t get me wrong (I love saying that, don’t I?), I eat great and all my meals are extremely healthy, but I simply don’t have the time to cook anymore; at least not in the day times.

I probably eat around 5 meals throughout the day, each meal taking on average about 5 minutes to prepare since there is little to no baking or frying needed. I actually like it that way, my food is already cooked and all I have to do is put it together and munch away – instead of spending an hour or so slaving over making a meal.

But there are times when I go back home and see my mother creating a meal and enjoying every second of making that meal a perfection for the family to enjoy; it reminds me of the times when I had a blast taking the time to make a meal and then enjoy that meal knowing that it was made by “me.”

It’s just that we entrepreneurs get into our routines throughout the day and it’s sometimes hard to go from making a meal in 5 mins to spending 45+ mins making one. However, I think that I’m going to try and set aside some time – probably on weekends – to get back into cooking again, as opposed to just putting my food together.

What about you? Prepared foods, cooked foods, or what?
