Agree with this sentiment. When you're in the moment, it may feel as if you're loosing time. But failing should be the best school you ever have. You might had to do research on X or train some aspects of your development skills etc. You always take that with you. The experience itself, is never lost.

It’s also possible and common to just lose the time with no redeeming experience, learnings, perspective, etc., no matter how open-minded, self-reflecting and positive you may be. Not all experiences have meaningful lessons within them. Sometimes a large chunk of lived experience is just totally void of value.

And that’s ok too. Not everything has to be recast as value additive or enriching from some more mature or greater perspective.
