I've accomplished nothing of note ever. Most people don't. They just live their lives, trying to get by as best they can.

I don't know if that is true. For large swaths of the population, raising a child is their biggest accomplishment. Justifiably so.

Other accomplishments of note might be: a single conversation that helped someone change. Little acts that made the world a tiny bit better. Having brought happiness to other people. I like to think that is the meaning of not wasting your time – not just measuring your life's worth with a science/capitalism lens.
