365 Exciting ways to live - 12

12 / 365 Don’t Spend, ‘Invest’ Time
Time goes, you say? Ah no!    Alas, Time stays, we go.
Henry Austin Dobson

Do you waste time? If you know the value of time, you will not.  You will not say ‘I spent time’, but will say ‘I invested time’. You will be punctual and organised. You will be conscious of the productivity of your time.
But the question is: how do we become conscious about the value of our time? One way is to know how much time has passed so far and how much is left over, just as you do with money!
Here’s an exercise which you should do today. Take your marriage album or your family album. Go through the album from cover to cover. Try to do a time regression. Go back and review the past ten or fifteen years of your life as though you are seeing a movie. You will realise that a lot of time has disappeared and will continue to disappear with or without your consent and knowledge. Calculate how many more years and weeks you have and think what you are going to do with the time available?
Do it today.
