Master Your Time
I have always found it ironic that so many
people say they would do anything for a little more time everyday and yet they squander the time they
already have. Time is life’s great leveler. We all have the same allotment of twenty – four hours in a day. What
separates the people who create great lives from the also – rans is how they use these hours.
Most of us live as if we have an infinite
amount of time to do all the things we know we must do to live a full and rewarding life. And so we
procrastinate and put the achievement of our dreams on hold while we tend to those daily emergencies that fill up
our days. This is a certain recipe for a life of regret. As novelist Paul Bowles once wrote:
…. Because we don’t know [when we will
die], we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number
of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood,
some afternoon that’s so deeply a part of your
being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or
five times more. Perhaps not even
that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty.
And yet it all seems limitless.
Commit yourself to managing your time more
effectively. Develop a keen sense of awareness about how important your time really is. Don’t let people waste this
most precious of commodities and invest it only in those activities that truly count.
