> Personal > You need to value time – right?
Author: Dmitry Gintsevich, posted in: Personal, Motivation.
You're probably a little surprised by this question in the title? And answer yourself honestly, how often have you thought about time, do you truly value it? Are you wasting your money?
Why do you need to value time?
Do you know what made me think about this question? You'll never guess! This is neither life events, of which there were quite a few, nor the influence of people, nor some books. NO!
I thought about the value of time at that moment when I was sitting behind the wheel of a car and looking at the traffic light for pedestrians. The first thought ran through right then. I see this traffic light every morning. I see many, many of them, but it was this intersection that made me think. And now almost every morning reminds me of the most important thing in our lives
- about the time.
You can become anyone in life, earn as much as you want, live the way you want. All you need for this is TIME, and, of course, effort and desire to achieve your goals.
You need to value time every day.
Think about these words.
Get into them. Look at your life: how much time we spend on unnecessary things, unnecessary people, unnecessary relationships. Is not it? I'm glad if you answered no to the questions above.
Just a moment

Many people say and write that there is a catastrophic lack of time. Those who do not know how to plan their day, month, year, life lack it. Are you surprised that you need to plan your life? Naturally, there is no time for trivial details to plan and calculate it, but, let’s say, set priorities.
“Only time belongs to us.”
Seneca
It's hard to argue with that. And at the same time, it’s the only one we cannot return, get ahead of and defeat.
The stakes have never been higher than they are now
As legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says in his seminal book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience:
Consciousness control determines quality of life.
There is a huge power in focusing your attention that can make you happier by helping you appreciate the little things you often neglect in your daily life.
Attention can lead you to a fulfilling life. It will force you to focus on the things that really matter to you. Which will move you forward, and not take away your precious time.
Happiness, performance, engagement and pleasure begin with your ability to actively control where you direct your mental energy.
Although the world around us does everything it can to steal our time, we can fight back. We can take control of our own mind through awareness, practice and the right habits.
If you learn to live consciously, nothing will stop you from living the life you want. After all, it all starts with this. Then you won't miss the really important things.
The problem of the value of time: what is it?
Time is beyond our control. And how I want to stop him for a moment, enjoy my beloved girl next to me, her passionate lips... Stop and forget about everything around. Have time to save a person from trouble, slow down time before a terrible fatal accident. But this is impossible.
The answer to the question why you need to value time may be the words: “It will not come back.” That is why you need to do, go, come, arrive, try, change, leave, go out, and come again, get there! Do it! Time doesn't wait. And there is no point in feeling sorry for him.
You often hear from people about fifty years old that life has already passed... But in our youth, there were times, oh, if only we could turn back time. Then I would... Isn’t it funny for you to hear such words? Yes, you are right: it’s both funny and sad at the same time.
A little secret to using time effectively
: divide big things into component ones, set your goals, complete the most important things (read about the Pareto rule) step by step.
An example that came to mind: make $500 a month online. In the first month, without being a professional in any field, you will NOT be able to achieve this goal. And who’s stopping you from breaking it up into 2-3 months and doing it step by step? Believe me, it’s easier this way. Better yet, check it out in practice! And don’t say you lack motivation!
The problem with the value of time also lies in the fact that we do not take time to plan. A good example: a successful businessman. Look how many things he does per unit of time, how many tasks he performs, and even more he delegates. And at this time you are sitting on VKontakte, playing with toys, lying in front of the TV, reading this post. No, do not rush to close the browser page. Just face it.
"We are killing time, and time is killing us"
Emil Krotky
As time goes by, we age and our health does not improve, which is why we need to start/continue/accelerate our transformation for the better TODAY .
Right
now!
And it doesn’t matter what area of life will undergo changes: it will be finances, physical strength, spirituality, relationships. Improve.
And further.
Don’t waste time, “missed opportunities”, don’t live by the “if only” principle. Live for today, appreciate it. Every minute, people who bring positive emotions, positivity and joy are also appreciated.
Mom, we are all getting old...

Why is it important to value time and how to learn it?
A person's life in this world is measured by time. Unfortunately, not all people realize its value and allow themselves to waste it. At the end of their days, such people will be disappointed. But if you start understanding the value of time today and take steps towards learning it, you can radically change your life. Let's look at why you should value your time and figure out how you can learn to do so.
5 reasons why it is important to value time
1. Time is irrevocable.
Time is running out, and every moment we live will never return, no matter how much effort we make. Almost everything can be returned. Today there are many ways to restore health, regain lost money, relationships, property, joy, and so on. But time will not return. Therefore, it is worth distributing and appreciating it very correctly so as not to waste it.
2. Time is the main resource.
Our time is a huge potential, and if we use it correctly, we can achieve heights in any business. Time, unfortunately, as mentioned above, is a non-renewable resource, and therefore, we simply do not have the right to spend it carelessly. This is a crime against ourselves.
3. Time is our life.
And we value our life on a subconscious level. Among adequate and mentally healthy people, you will not meet those who would like to say goodbye to their lives. The thirst for life and the desire to live long and happily are inherent in everyone from birth. But it is worth understanding that our lives take place in time, and here on earth it is limited. Therefore, it is important to learn to appreciate it.
4. Time is opportunity.
It is through the passage of time that we gain new opportunities, and when we spend it correctly, it benefits us. Time passes, and with it, unused opportunities disappear. Therefore, it is important to always be alert and grab what the Universe offers us.
5. Time brings us closer to old age.
And if we don’t understand the value of this time at a young age, then old age will teach us this. Read this article about what people regret most in their old age. But why understand such an important truth when so much valuable time has already been lost, if you can start appreciating time today? Time is inexorable, and no one can influence its speed, so it will inevitably lead us to old age. Time is like the fast flow of a river, and man is like a reed carried by him, which is powerless before the power that carries it. Realize the power of time, and don't let it disappear pointlessly.
How to learn to value time?
It all starts with awareness. Almost all of us know that time is irrevocable, but few people realize this sad truth. When awareness comes, everything changes. It is as if a person entered his room in the middle of the night and did not turn on the light. He theoretically knows that there is a bed on the right and a chest of drawers on the left, but if he turns on the light, he can see it all clearly. Let's look at some practical tips below to help you realize the value of time.
• Reflect on the irrevocability of time to understand its value. Just as the process of digesting food begins with the fact that we chew it, so the awareness of a thought comes when we reflect on it.
• Remember that one day your last second, last day and month will come. But, don’t go too deep into these thoughts, so as not to fall into depression and apathy.
• Have a clear idea of what you want from this life - this will help you not to get distracted by unimportant things and not waste precious time on them.
• Avoid idleness. Not rest, but idleness - boredom, laziness, killing time. Whatever you can do today, do it.
• Learn to dissolve in the present moment, feel its taste and realize the luxury of life that is given to you. Many people mistakenly believe that luxury is a cool car, mansions, islands and billions of dollars. No, luxury is to be aware of the present moment, and in every breath to feel the strength of your life, enjoying it.
• Don't waste your time on empty talk, gossip, and anything that you will regret.
• Get rid once and for all of the habit of postponing anything until tomorrow. If you want, do it. If you like something, grab it and realize your goals. No one will give us back time, youth, energy.
• Get rid of the constant rush - it has nothing to do with real productivity. If you want to get more done and faster, just learn to plan wisely and not get distracted.
• Love your life as it is. Love your time, no matter how hard and fleeting it may seem to you. Love everything that you have and surrounds you - allow your heart to open up and release the potential of love that it stores within itself. This is a great way not to go crazy from the realization of the fleeting nature of everything that exists!

Why is this so important
Making the best decisions possible means taking care of your physical and mental health, relationships, and productivity today. Many are accustomed to working as hard as they can, and putting the rest off until later. But without rest and relaxation, stress also accumulates according to the principle of compound interest. You don't have to try to make every day perfect. Some will be busy with work, others with communication, and others with rest. In total, they will all have a positive effect.
This approach to decisions will also help curb bad habits. When you look at every action in terms of compound interest, it's easier to resist the temptation.
