I remember thinking when I retired from full-time work, that I saw the value in every minute and I didn’t want to waste a second of it.  I felt I was being gifted with 50 hours a week.  I had a plan for what I wanted to accomplish.  I wish I could say that I haven’t wasted any of that time.  I have found that unless I have some kind of formal structure in place, I don’t accomplish what I really want to.

Lewis Timberlake shares six truths about time in his book, First Thing Every Morning:

First:  We can’t manage time, but we can manage the things that take up our time.

Second:  Time is expensive.  Eighty percent of our day is spent on things or people that only bring us two percent of our results.

Third:  Time is perishable.  It can’t be saved for later.

Fourth:  Time is measurable.  Everyone has the same amount of time.  It’s not about how much time you have; it’s about how much you use.

Fifth:  Time is irreplaceable.  We can’t make back time once it is gone.

Sixth:  Time is a priority.  You have enough time for anything in the world, as long as it ranks high enough in your priorities.
