The one thing in life that you can never give back is time. “Don’t waste my time” or “my time is valuable” are some of the phrases people use when referring to time. I personally feel the same, One thing a person has to feel is that his or her time is being spent well and not wasted on things that are not in their best interest. Wasted time is never regained and will feel like a piece of you has been taken away from you. I don’t believe a person should take another person’s time for granted. Everyone’s time is valuable and should be respected as if it was their own time, but i think the majority of people have no concept of time value. and will not stay on schedule. When this happens all they are saying is they do not value your time and do not value their own time. If they did they would have been on time and if they say “I am sorry for being late” what they are saying is they are not prepared. One way you can be prepared is to leave earlier, a person will never know what could happen on the way to a meeting, if you left earlier you could have car trouble and hopefully it’s not serious, you might be able to still catch the meeting. My wife always gets up about 2 1/2 hours before she has to go to work and she leaves about an hour before her shift starts. I understand why she wakes up so earlier but i still do’t know why she feels the need to get up so earlier. She has a routine that she does in the morning and I’m not go to stop her thing in the morning. I don’t need that much time in the morning to get ready, I can be done in about 20-25 mins. That’s called Time Management and i pay close attention to where i spend my time.
You can tell how successful a person is by how he spends his time, a person that is less successful will spend his time a lot different. If a person has great time management skills he will know where his time is going and will not do thing that is highly productive. He will choose to do tasked that serve a greater purpose in his life and will let other do the things he feels are not in line with his goals. He will delegate necessary jobs or tasks to people so he can concentrate on the master plan. IF YOU HAVE A GOOD GRIP ON YOUR TIME AND YOU DON’T ALLOW IT SLIP AWAY, YOUR LIFE WILL BE SO MUCH MORE FULL FILLING TO YOU
