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.
