Time

I shape every life, carve lines on faces, and turn the new into old. I am relentless, yet I am cherished. Time is an indefinite, continued progress of existence. It is ironic how time serves as both the problem and the solution; we never seem to have enough of it, yet we strive to create more. This past week, we delved into time management and the different ways we can effectively utilize our time. This involves Time Sense, essentially estimating how long a task would take, goal setting, standard shifting; which is adjusting your standards according to your circumstance and how it changes, time planning; which is outlining in advance the tasks you would need to get done in a certain time frame, and, most importantly to me, recognizing procrastination—the greatest thief of time. Procrastination is the enemy of progress, but its power is only as strong as the amount you allow it by how you postpone. I learned in that lesson that time is literally money, so I shouldn't waste it. One effective way to manage this is by structuring your life through to-do lists or schedules, where tasks stare back at you, enabling you to take action. In my opinion, the concept of time keeps each and every one of us accountable because if it had never existed ambition, goals and dreams would cease to exist as well. A world without time would be a world without growth so cherish it because you do not know how much of it you have left.
