Time is Money
It is that coin, that we value highly, that we settle our daily accounts, or rather that we use every second to pay for everything occurring in life. It exclusively depends on us how to use and handle the coin. We use time indiscriminately, all having the same number of hours, days, etc. However, some have enough time to accomplish everything and be everywhere they want, using only a notepad or a Google calendar, while others use time thoughtlessly and are only good at wasting time.
Interestingly, we are able to count up the units of time with precision and know how much time has been used up, but we fail to know how much is still in store for us. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to train to manage this valuable resource and master the art of managing it.
And now, at the time that most people are making plans and resolutions for the New 2020 Year, we have prepared for you a small set of tools and resources that will enable you to take control of your life and learn to effectively distribute time. Read further on.
