Imagine for a moment that Mr. Donald Trump arrives and tells you that every day at midnight he was going to deposit $ 86,400.00.00 into your bank account. That is $ 31,536,000.00 in one year. Now the money is all yours and you can spend it however you wish, but there is a catch (it is not always there). You must spend all the money in the 24 hour period. You cannot carry over to the next day, you must spend everything; down to the last penny.

This is my question. How many ways would you think of spending that money? How creative do you think you can be? Would you still be a television addict, or would you change your day’s priorities to make the most of all that money?

Well, what $ 86,400.00 represents is really all the seconds that you and I have allotted every day. We can never get one of those seconds back, and we can’t pass those seconds the next day. Think about this every time you say to yourself: Oh, will I just watch this show and then go live or do it tomorrow, etc.

Time is a precious commodity. So next time you tell yourself “there just isn’t enough time in the day.” Well, the truth is, there are 86,400 seconds to be exact. How are you spending those precious seconds? Learn how to get the most out of it. How do we do it? Well here are a few to think about

· Keep a “To Do List”. You’ll find out how much more you can get done every day by focusing on your goals for the day; and don’t let anything distract you.

Think of time as money and budget like you would a bank account.

When running errands, make a map of the stores or places you need to visit. Then try visiting those places in a circle or on a square trip. That way, it won’t turn back to where it already was.

· TiVo or similar technology. You record all your shows and then when it comes time to sort and fold your clothes or some other similar task, you can do both at the same time.

Well, I hope I have at least made you think. Remember, we can never take back yesterday and tomorrow will simply become your today. Do it to the fullest.
