We waste time, we kill time, we save time. For all the things with do with time it seems most of us don't respect it.
Time is the ultimate and only real currency. When you first start working you make minimum wage or something close. That's usually because of a lack of experience but experience is just time. Experience is the time you spent getting better at something, which is a problem in and of itself. Lots of people spend time on something but never really get better at it. I suck at math and I've done it for years! However I've never spent the time to get better at it, why? Because I didn't find the investment worth it. My time was better spent building a skill that was easier or more fun to get better at or I would use more readily.
Why is any of this important - maybe it isn't maybe you are wasting your time right now. Maybe I'm wasting my time typing this out. Or maybe one person will read this and understand even a little better why time is so important! We take time for granted like we do the air in our lungs.
Time is money - you've heard people say that more than once I'd wager(see what I did there). Well no time is time and your time is converted to money via a business or job. I know I'm not getting to the point! You wouldn't burn a 20 dollar bill would you? Wasting time is wasting life, money and experiences be better shepherds of your time. It is OK to say no. At the end of the day, week, month or year look back and feel good about home you spent the only true thing that matters, time.
