Time is the most valuable resources given to man. It
is the only acceptable currency, which is peculiar to the whole world. If you
have a lot of money and no time, you’re still a poor person. A billionaire who
has just a week to live might not be able to do anything tangible with the
money. God does not give us money; he gives us time and we convert it to money.
Your success in business life will be determined by your ability to use your
time wisely. Your life is an accumulation of years; your years an accumulation
of months, your months an accumulation of days, and your days an accumulation
of hours. Looking at your life from this perspective, you will be more focus on
how you spend your time.
KEYS TO USING YOUR TIME WELL
-
Place Value on your time
If you have to quantify your time in monetary value,
how valuable is it? How much would it be? In the universe today, we have the
time wasters and the time savers. People have a lot of time to waste because
they have nothing to do with it, they have no goals. On the other hand, people
who have goals are so busy about reaching those goals and they have no time to
spare.
-
Be goal oriented
Because your time is as valuable as your goals, you
must learn to place a high premium on your goals. Always approach everything
you do with a goal in mind.
-
Eliminate distraction
Distraction simply means to pull away from. Every
single day of your life, people and circumstances will come your way from your
goal. Distraction comes in various forms but they all have one purpose; to
break your focus and waste your time. So keep focus and take responsibility to
recognize it.
Your time is like an empty space; its value is
determined by what you put into it. Don’t give everybody and everything free
access to your space. Otherwise, it will quickly become a rubbish dump. Create
your own space and fill with precious and pleasant things. Like anything else
in life, time if left on its own, will go in any direction. Your times are
precious, harness and use it well.
