Creating Value For Time

avatar

I have always told people that time is among the most valuable of the assets given to humankind. In fact, a lot of other things which bring profits are majorly hinged on the time factor. This is why if you know how to invest and use time effectively, then you are already on the right way to making success. Whether you use time or not, it will still pass, so it is in your best interest to use it to your advantage. In this period and era, time has become so valuable and it will not wait for anyone. While someone else may be whiling away time, others may be using it for something worthwhile. If you sow time effectively by doing something valuable, then the results will be evident for it.

It is weird to see people complain and give reasons for their lack of success to be due to lack of support. Well, what they do not understand is that they already have the biggest support from nature - time, but they are the ones to make use of it in order to profit them. The truth is that the time you have will be enough to achieve what you have dreamt of if you use it effectively. Even if they give you all the supports that you will ever need, but without effective time management, you will still not be able to create the desired value. In order to create value, you have to learn how to effectively use time.

In business for example, there are many things you can start up by just investing your time and they will earn you some profits in terms of money. I remember when I was in school, I got a short-term part-time job during the vacation period like I used to do. In that particular job, the only thing I had to do was to invest time. My job description was to take stocks of the building materials in a construction site each day. And since it was close to the house, I did not have to spend on transport. I just took stocks in the morning before work and at the evening after work and was paid at the end of the construction which was also around the time school would resume.

While some other students were just whiling away time during the vacation period, I put the time to effective use and it profited me. Then at some other vacations, I learnt some skills which I still enjoy from till today. When you have value for time, you will learn how to use each moment effectively. Take today's crypto space as example; there are some activities that someone can engage in without putting in money and still earn from them. Like airdrops, there are ones that will only require your time to undertake certain activities and then get paid with the tokens. A few months back, a tapping coin was launched. During the mining process, it only required users to invest their time to tap the screen of their phones in order to accumulate the tokens and the tokens later became worth something.

I remember what a financial coach once said some years back; "if you do not have money to invest, at least you have time, invest it." When you have put your time to good use, you will see how many other supports will come to you. In everything you are doing, you have to know that time is a constant factor, but yet it is moving very fast without a recourse to what you think. As a student for example, if you cannot use your time to study your books, by the time exam comes, you will see the effects.

One of my friends, who is a student, told me how she normally reads almost all through the night. One day, she did not know what happened and she slept off in the class, to the point that she did not hear a thing that the lecturer said. I asked her what she normally does during the day and she told me. The major part of what she does during the day after lectures were not worthwhile. I advised her to use that time to study her books and then limit the number of hours she spent during the night. She started maximising her daytime to study and the need to stay awake at night became reduced and she no long spends long hours awake during the night nor sleeps during the lectures. All because she learnt how to use her time effectively. Remember; If you sow time effectively by doing something valuable, then the results will be evident for it.

Thanks for reading

Peace on y'all
