Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States on Sunday, March 14, 2010 at 2 a.m. effectively moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. So I guess you could say we don't actually "save" daylight, we just shift it.
What if you could effectively shift time? You can't save time or buy time or make time. You can't borrow it or squander it or kill it, and the folks who write about "time management" should know better. With time, your only choice is to use it to create the life you want, or to live with the regret that time (and opportunity) has passed you by.
The fact is your calendar is full. You have no spare time. Therefore, for you to do anything new, you will have to stop doing something old. Before you make any new commitment of your time, you must firmly decide what activities you are going to discontinue. We are all asked to do many more things than we could ever have time for. It's important to be selective.
Some people say that "Time is Money" -- but I disagree. When you think about it, isn't Time really LIFE? At the end of your life, can you even imagine saying to yourself, "I wish I'd made more money?" It's more likely you'd be thinking "I wish I'd had more TIME -- time to spend with my loved ones, time to enjoy my life more, time to take that special vacation."
Commit to investing time and money and energy in the things that mean the MOST to you. Do less, live more! Tomorrow is a new day and a chance to start fresh.
