Time is gold: How do you spend your time wisely?

It is really good on your part that you execute your jobs in an organised manner. I also believe that time is money, time is essence and we should not waste it at any cost. I also plan my tasks in an orderly manner and complete those tasks one by one. Sometimes to save time I report to multi-tasking. I do not like to sit ideal.

Time is indeed important, but we should not constraint it, to do what we wanna do with it.. haha =D As when we planned out our time, we are no longer enjoying whatever we are doing.. We are just trying to keep up with time, and it's kinda stressful.. As such, we will start to be fearful of time, for ,time waits for nobody.. At the end of the day, we will find ourselves fulfilling all the task for the day, but accomplishing nothing at all, in our mind and heart ^_^

AWWWWWWW the age of being retired! I can get up when I want and go to bed when I want. BUt mostly I do all emails first then Grand daughter gets up and my day can go any which way as we plan things around her. I dont feel like I have wasted any of my time so far .

That's really wise of you. I try to spend my time as wisely as possible, but sometimes I need more hours in a day and I'll feel so fed up when there aren't that many to finish off with. I think it's basically about time management, like many have said and I'll strive for it.

I spend my time in front of my computer doing some relevant things. As making money online I'll make sure that I have not miss out all what I did in my computer to accumulate some extra cash on my paypal account...have a nice day!

i don't plan my day ahead as there is generally a fixed routine. i prefer spending my spare time with family, reading books, or surfing the net (for information or fun). modernization has made life mechanistic and there is generally a tight schedule to follow. but i consider it very important to find some time for myself also.

i try not to wake up early especially if i went out drinking the night before, because i would useless if i did. whenever my alarm clock goes ringing, it turn it off and go back to sleep. when i get to work , i work til the time i am off and look forward to being with friends and have a couple of drinks and chat with them, sharing experiences and dreams. don't get me wrong , i have planned my life a long time ago and i only do weekly plans to leave some spontanaeity for the rest of the days. i love surprises and some jitters. it keeps me alive. if you believe that time is gold that you tend to keep and be protective about it, you long for financial rewards that you tend to forget what drives you, what's important. I believe that time is beauty and it needs to be shared. time is only a state of mind, and i have realized that we only have a short life in this earth and it is not worth wasting it to make us who we are or to to be powerful and prove to the world , we are someone to be respected who makes a lot of money. I ask you, what if your friends and relatives , all of a sudden does not have the time for you? esp. if you need it the most? time is not to be kept, it is something to be shared.

ARe you always like that, I mean do you maintain to be always organize? if the answer is yes, then i am proud of you! I like to follow you too. I was like that before but then I get tired of doing it because there are things that cause or hindrance of what I do. At work I have a notebook, I write all the things I have to do but then at the end of the day, you will see it with cross marks or cancelled note because of some people who are not concern about their work. I do also plan about my personal life but there is always a hindrance of fulfilling it. Anyway, the statement is if you really want to accomplish things you can do it with or without hindrance, you can make it happen. Maybe I am not being true with myself. I guess I am not spending my time wisely.

It sounds like you have an excellent time management system. I am not so organized. I always feel like I am losing time because I am unorganized. In the past few weeks, I have really made an effort to get my time management under control. It is hard for me because I have a hard time falling asleep at night. I end up staying up really late and sleeping my day away. I always regret it because I never feel like I accomplish what I wanted to. I wish I could get my sleep patterns to normalize!

I would love to be able to say I spend my time effeciently but I am not organized and until I get things back in order I will never effectively manage my time.

I quite agree with your opinion. yes, time is gold or more than gold. I remember years ago I read a story about Benjamin. In the story, he tells us what we can do in ONE minute. yes, in one minute, we can still do many things. For example, before his guest arrive at his home, he can tidy his room or work out part of his experiment. I try this too. yeah, one minute does mean something. I can heat my meal in microwave oven, set one-minute, in the meantime, I brush my teeth with this one minute or or wash bowls within one minute. With one minute, we can not finish many things, but at least one minute, we can race with ourselves by tidying our bedroom. Whenever I do nothing in a day, I feel guilty at the end of that day, knowing another precious twenty four hours are wasted by me.

time is gold but most of the times i have a lot of expectation that i miss them a bunch. i do not like to make a promises that i could accomplish my goals, i just do it at the best of my efforts. whatever the consequences i am ready to face it with no regret.

hi neelianoscet! Good day to you my friend... Yes, I really believed that time is GOLD because whenever you do every second, minute of day is precious specially when you spend the most of your time in your family. lol GOD BLESS xchyler

that is true although i procrastinate most of the time when i do not like to move i could not be force. but when i like to do something i do fast as i do not like to be late or my companion would get mad on me from waiting too much. i do not like to make promises tend to be broken most of the times. i do what i could but not compolsory rather voluntarily.

I try to always spend my time wisely. I work seven days a week online and that takes up alot of my time alone. I get cooking and cleaning done while working also. I get the bills figured up and paid and the laundry done too. I only spend about an hour per day not working, doing something and I sleep about 4 hours per day.

As a Zen practitioner, I look at it this way.... Time is an illusion because there is only now. None of us are "going" anywhere at all - we are just here having experience after experience. If we can just stop for a while and contemplate that only now exists, that there is no past and no future that exists, we will be able to see that we cannot waste what doesn't exist! There is only now! - Derek

Hi neelianoscent, it seems that we have something in common. I also believe that time is gold, so we have to spend it wisely. I do make plans for my weekly, monthly and everyday activities. I wrote it in my planner to make sure that nothing escapes. I would make it sure that 20% of those everyday activities is responsive to my short term and long term goals. I make it sure that i will balance my activities so i can spend to enjoy with my family and friends.

the only time when i am not working when i am either on the computer or sleeping.Rest of the time i am busy managing job,kids and housework.

I spent almost all of my time for my family and working home through internet. I cherish every precious moments with my family, i cherish every precious smile my son and my daughter made, and most of all i make my family feel every seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years that they are important. I will do this till i die! And even when i am already in heaven i will still do it! That's how i spend my time. Thank you so much for this very wonderful post.

i spend my most of the time in studying
