You are not born or created to pay attention to everything that comes across you. The fact that everything seeks your attention doesn't mean everything should get your attention because in seeking your attention they are seeking your time and if it's not what you ought to give you time it will waste your life for you, before you know it you will be behind your mate. One of the many ways we can achieve more in this platform is to invest our time in it, we can't make out the best by just wishing to, but by conscious labour and intention.
Lost time is never found again. – Benjamin Franklin.
You can’t keep today’s hour for tomorrow – we all know that, but still tend to procrastinate. Benjamin Franklin warns that time is a scarce resource, and if it’s wasted, it cannot be recovered later. This is why mindful planning and work on productivity are so important.

We can't control time, but we can manage it to make out the best from it.
Life can be described as time calibrated in seconds, minutes and hours given to us by God.
We can say a man is wasting his time when he doesn't have time for the God that gave us time on this Earth.
How Do We Manage Our Time
Since time can't be controlled, but managed, the following steps would guide us in the bid to manage our time;
- Commit your time to God
The Bible says in proverbs 16:3;
"Prov.16.3 - Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.(NIV)"
God is a keeper, God is a manager, the truth is that we cannot manage our time by ourselves, but when we commit it into the hand of God it would be secured. Anything that is committed to God is secured and safe, that's why it is wise for us to always start our day with God, let Him be the first Person we meet before starting our day.
- Partition your Time:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says; "Eccl.3.1 - To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.(NIV)"
If we don't partition our time to accommodate everything we do we will spend it anyhow. It's just like going to the market without a list guiding you on what and what to buy, you will end up spending your money on unnecessary things.
When you don't have time for everything you won't have time for anything. You will just see yourself living your life anyhow.
- Major on the Major and Minor on the Minor
We must understand that there things that requires more time from us than other things. You must note those matters that are very important to you and commit much time to it. I remember when I was studying for my first degree, if am preparing my reading time table, I usually allocate more time to courses with higher credit points. Don't spend time on things that doesn't matter.
- Avoid Time Wasters
There are men and women that lacks vision for life and destiny, such kind of persons spend their time anyhow, if u find yourself among such company then be rest assured that they would help you waste your time. All they do is to sit down and talk about people. Some football fans will spend hours arguing on the salary of a football player and not spend time building themselves to earn better salary.
This the much I can write for now, but am sure God would grant us the wisdom we need to manage our time.
Time is one major thing that we can't cheat, it wastes for no one and counts for everyone
Meanwhile every seconds nor minutes can't be reversed.
