Saying: Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Time is a precious commodity, and making the best use of it is essential.

Although you may want to do something, sometimes you should ask yourself if the juice is worth the squeeze.


You ask if the juice is worth the squeeze when you want to determine if the effort you put into something is worth the benefits you get from it.


Knowing when to walk away from a lost cause and cut your losses can be difficult, but it’s essential for effective time management.

It’s important to ask yourself if the juice is worth the squeeze or, in other words, if the effort you’re putting in is worth the reward you’ll get in return.

If not, it might be time to move on and focus on something else. 

This can be applied to everything from tasks at work to relationships.

If you have a needy romantic partner with very high maintenance requiring you to invest a lot into that person, you may wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze.

If not, it may be time to move on to greener pastures

Regarding your work, it’s also essential to work smarter, not harder.

Investing your time wisely can help you maximize your gains while minimizing your losses.

Don’t waste time on tasks that don’t yield any rewards – instead, focus on activities that will give you the most bang for your buck!

With proper planning and execution, you can make sure that every minute of your day is well spent and that you get the most out of every effort you put in.
