Whether with your parents, spouse, kids, friends or whoever, enjoy your time together. Life is moving fast. Enjoy those moments before they disappear.
Whether it’s drinks on the deck or working through admin and papers, be sure to relish these moments as they won’t last long and may never come again.
Pregnancy takes nine months. Babies take 18 years to grow and become adults. Even the Olympics takes 6 years to build, prepare or train for.
Assume everything might take longer than expected. Use this assumption to even go to your meeting today.
Things take time. Not forever but maybe a little longer than you anticipated.
Plan accordingly.
Use it wisely.
There is work and admin, volunteer service and every day life but you need to carve out some time for you alone and to be with others.
Don’t just kind of do it though. Remove the distractions, put down the phone, turn off the radio and have nothing on tv.
Spend quality time means you are focused on each other, not other things.
It’s easy to spend time frivolously. However, if you use time wisely, you’ll be better for it.
From booking a holiday, to medical appointments, buying a car and mortgage applications, things take a fair amount of time.
Not only do you need to really want to do the thing, you have to be willing to spend the time to organise and prepare for it!!
There is always a last time. We just don’t always know when it will be.
Times you’ll know it’s your last time can be your last day sitting at your desk at school, the last time you you drive a car before you sell it and your last day working for a company.
Although sometimes you won’t know it’s the last time while it is happening. Your last goodbye to a friend, the last time you speak with one of your parents or the last time you wake up in your bed.
Appreciate every day and every encounter. Give heartfelt goodbyes, as one will inevitably be the last.
Be ruthless with wasting time. Find the time you need to do the things you want, and some acts of kindness too.
Don’t waste time. Be efficient. Be focused.
We don’t know when we will pass from this world, or when others will.
Say goodbye in a heartfelt way. Be sure to tell people your great thoughts of them. Give them the best, their highlights, so they know.
Have you ever thought about it? Observe how you spend non-work time. Is it with family? Are you solo?
Reading, writing, watching movies, playing cards, tinkering and socialising are often cited as favourite pastimes.
Drill down into how you spend your time as it’s a useful barometer for life.
