Time
Time and time again, I’m surprised by the effect of time on human behavior. Time is tracked and managed. Time heals wounds. Time is ever-present yet always passing. Driven by our watches, distracted by our clocks, time dominates our thinking. Yet half of the time, our focus on time distracts us from the beneficial aspects of time as the moments occur. So take the time this time around to spend a little more time smelling the roses. Time is money yet time is priceless. Time is ticking away so take …

How do you use time better?
