Is time money?
Here’s today’s quote, about time management:
“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.” - Carl Sandburg
Language Notes: 1) ”coin” in this quote means “money” in general; 2) “determine” here means “to choose”
I sometimes use my time very well, especially at work. When I teach, I know what I want to do every minute and how I want my students to learn. My goals are very clear. When I am not working, however, I am not very well focused. I waste a lot of time, especially on weekends. So, I guess I’m wasting money, right? Maybe I should try to plan my time better. Or I could set some specific goals. Another possibility is to wake up earlier, get out of the house, and just do whatever comes to mind - that could help me find things that are both interesting and productive. Well, we’ll see what I do this weekend…
How do you use your time? Do you think you use your time well? How can you use your time more effectively?

Time is a relative concept: it depends on everybody vision of their finity. If they believe they are eternal or if they think everything ends with their death.
