I have time for that

Normally, people comment on what they don’t have time for. It’s usually things that they are too annoyed about to specifically address. Understanding the importance of time can revamp our thinking when we come to this realization. This new way of thinking may see us make a to-do list or set goals that give us much needed direction in our daily lives in order to make the most of our time. Think about it; all of us have been given the same amount of time in our day, yet all around us people are using their time differently. Some will feel like they have wasted their day, and others will hold their arms in the air like they just bossed their day.

So, what should you have time for? Making your time count is something we should all take some time to think about. If I want to enjoy life, I don’t think wasting time is the way to go about it. A time waster could be overdoing it on the entertaining things on our digital devices. A time waster could also be responding to every urgent thing others put on you to do. Start making time to think about your time, and what you would like your life to look like a month from now. 

Time spending tips: 

You should have time to personally develop yourself in a healthy way. A good book, a podcast, an article—any intentional educational learning experience is something beneficial you can spend your time on. 

You should have time to eat the right things in your day. The right kind of diet can add to your lifespan.

You should have time for spiritual progression. Specifying a time in your day to meditate on truth and connect with God will be worth every undistracted moment you spend. 

You should have time to create something that serves others in some meaningful way. Cooking a delicious meal, doing a small house or work project, or even organizing photos. Giving your time to invest in others will come back to bless you. 

You should have time to keep your financial life in order. Paying off debts, decreasing your spending, creating a robust savings account, investing in worthwhile ventures, and so on. 

You should have time to care for your personal relationships. Being together to catch up on what’s happening in another person’s world is important in maintaining healthy relationships. 

These things that we take time for should carry strong values, ones that can be positively transferred to the next generation. Our time well spent turns the time we cherish into timeless blessings. I hope that the time you took to read this shapes how you use your time in the right way.
