CHOICES FOR USING THE TIME IN YOUR LIFE

by Harold Taylor

There are only so many ways that you can use time. Here are the common ones. You will be more effective the further down the list you go.

1. WASTING TIME is giving up some of your time and getting nothing substantial in return.

2. LOSING TIME is being unaware of the passage of time by engaging in activity while the mind is absent.

3. SPENDING TIME is acquiring a completed task or activity in exchange for an equivalent amount of time.

4. BUYING TIME is paying someone else to do things that you would otherwise have to do yourself.

5. INVESTING TIME is gaining more in terms of enjoyment, productivity or purpose than you give up in terms of time.”
