You and I, are the sum total of what we spend our time on. Our earthly existence from day to day is twenty four (24) hours dependent; meaning no matter which place we are upon the surface of this earth, we will experience the two phases of life and living within that twenty four (24) hour period (light and darkness) even though each (light or darkness) will be in differing length of hours, depending upon the place (latitude and longitude) and the season.
Therefore, it behoves every individual to learn to “master” the use of time on earth maximally. The true measure of your life is calculated in time. The Almighty God does not give money but gives time and the ability to get wealth. Money is the currency of exchange while time is the currency of life.
When you use your time diligently and prudently, the following benefits will become available unto you:-
- When you have learnt to master and prioritize time, it will protect and preserve your life because you will learn to do the right things, at the right time, in the right way, and in the right place. Thus you will get the right results for your actions or activities most of the times, if not all the time.
- It will keep your energy at a high level.
- This will lead you to make true progress in the right direction. You will not be “beating about the bush” on most matters, and you will not waste available time.
- When you have the correct priority for your time, it will help you protect your currency of life, which is your time. Most people do not realize that the true currency of life is time. It is quite possible for you to abuse your time currency by doing the wrong things at the wrong time, in the wrong way and in the wrong place. You should realize that when you lose your time currency, nobody can give it back to you; and it will take the grace of God upon your life to recover the lost time currency.
- Good management of your time resources will help preserve and protect your energy from being wasted. (Saves you from the wasters of Destiny).
- It will also help protect your talents and the Gift of God upon your life. You will thus avoid spending your time and gifts on things that are worthless and unproductive.
- With good time management, your decisions are protected because they are taken at the right time and fit properly and adequately into the scheme of things, at the right point in time.
- Prudent time management helps you to be disciplined; this of course is a function of doing the right things at the right time, in the right way and at the right place.
- Lastly good time management, (which is prioritizing your activities according to the available time frame or schedule), makes your life very, very simple and life and living uncomplicated.
