The importance of time

Ben Roberts

One thing we all should be conscious about is time. I don't like being late and am always early for meetings professionally and personally.

I believe that time is precious and the better you can manage your time, the more effective you can be. It is just as important to be respectable of other people's time. Time is precious for a reason. 

There's only a certain amount of time in a day, so it must be used wisely. The better you plan your time, the more things you know that can be done or not. Prioritise your time not just for yourself but for others. 

Better to over deliver than under promise. 

If you are always late, it becomes a habit and not a promising one nor an endearing one and one that gives you a negative reputation. 

Ironically you need to take time to plan your time and prioritise the important from not so important.

The more time you plan ahead, the more time you will have to do the things you enjoy. Times flies when you are having fun. And the best times are still to come. 

What do you think? Is time important to you or just something to be casually aware of? And have you had any incidents you would like to share?
