63 / 365 Become a ‘Time-Rich’
Person
The key is in not spending time, but in investing
it.
Stephen R. Covey
We will not value a resource which is freely
available to us. It applies to the scarce resource called ‘time’! Time lost is
lost forever. Successful people are more careful with time than with their
money.
If you are conscious that money is scarce,
you will become careful while spending. This consciousness will influence your
attitude to money and your priorities. This consciousness makes you to handle
two important portfolios with respect to money: budgeting and accounting. You
will start accounting for every rupee you spend.
From today be conscious of how you spend
your time. Calculate how many hours are available to you in a day, when you are
awake and budget the various ‘expenditure’ of your time. Decide in advance how
much time you want to watch TV, read newspaper, meet people etc. Decide if you
can find a ‘twin purpose’ for your travel time, like travelling and listening
to some audio books, of course taking care of your safety.
A cash-rich person knows that it is wiser
to save than to earn. Similarly a ‘time-rich person’ will avoid unnecessary
work and wisely invest the time elsewhere fruitfully.
