Yesterday, a coaching session reminded me of something I recently read regarding time and money management, must have been on someone's Facebook feed. Anyways, in a nutshell, most of us would be reluctant to aimlessly give away money. We think twice about what we want to spend our hard earned cash on. Yet when it comes to our time, we seem to be way more generous. Many of us fritter away hours in jobs we don't like, spend time with people we don't really care about, or aimlessly watch TV and surf the net... the options are seemingly endless. And why is that?

Because of the perceived value attached. Money is hard to come by, yes, it is earned and it is spent. In fact, I daresay money is made to be spent. And that is where it differs from time. Time is only spent, never made. Therefore, for the sake of argument, time is more precious than money, it is irretrievable.

So, I have decided to spend my time more wisely. I may ask myself the question if I would give my money to a cause or to a person? And if the answer is no, then the only reason I will give my time, is if I deem the person, the cause more important than that.
