What’s the one decision you make that leads to all other decisions?

I’ll give you a minute to think about it.

Oh, and there’s a clue in the previous sentence.

Ready?

Here it is.

What to do with your time?

That’s it.

Sound too simplistic?

Maybe so.

But, if you think about it, you’ll soon realize that all you have is time.

I’m not suggesting there aren’t other important decisions you need to make. It’s just that they’re all layered on the foundation of time. Food, relationships, self-care, personal safety, and everything else you can think of, all consume time.

I agree that what I’m pointing out about time is not breaking news, but that’s not my role. I’m working to draw your attention to what might be apparent yet, overlooked.

Once you get to a certain age, you’re responsible for how you spend your time. There might be activities you think you must do, but that’s really not true. It’s just that if you don’t, the consequences might be more significant than you what you want to experience.

Let me quickly illustrate with an extreme example. You could choose not to spend your time eating, but if you do, then you’ll soon find yourself in poor health or even worse.

Now I don’t want to give you advice about what to do with your time because that’s personal for each individual. I just recommend you be aware of how you’re spending it.

So, be aware of how you’re spending your time today. Remember, it’s a finite resource and underpins everything you do. And one last thing. Thank you for spending some of your valuable time reading this post. Hopefully, you’ll feel it was time well spent.
