One of the most powerful tools we have is our time, tick tock – tick tock. Using our time to do productive things may be the most powerful thing we ever possess. Formal education cannot compete with the well-planned use of our days. It is proven time and again, look at the people we all know who dropped out of school and became billionaires in our lifetime. Being a genius cannot, many smart people get left behind in the dust by those who better apply themselves.
Let’s suppose for a moment you agree with me; time is our most precious asset. How well do we use our time? Do we plan the use of our days a day in advance? Here’s an even tougher question, do we stick to the plan, following it through in every detail or do we let the frustration of minor pain, not enjoying the moment distract us to lighten the load? Things like drift into checking emails, watching a video, checking our updates on Pinterest, you know, busy but time-wasting things.
We have time limiting rules in our society. The eight-hour workday is a rule. If our work offers the potential for bringing more life fulfilling things to us, why limit a workday into a short eight-hour day? Everyone needs a break from their work, but why interrupt our workflow just because it’s break time?
There seems to be a new rule stating you must love what you do to pour yourself thoroughly into it. We’ve all seen this, a clerk at a store not focused on there work, a barista at Starbucks asks three times, what drink did you say? The list is long of the many examples of wasting time.
Wherever we are, whatever we do, the habit we create not using time wisely limits our rise to where we want to be. Today, I challenge myself to use the time I have today more wisely, join me!
Tick Tock – Tick Tock
