Use Your Time Right: A lesson from the older generation.

One of the lessons I've learnt from people in their late 60s is the importance of using your time right.

To be fair, you must have heard similar things from different age groups, but when you hear it from people that have lived that long, it becomes fairly obvious that they are not just yapping. The look in their eyes often shows that they are speaking based on experience.

Here is the gist;

A good number of people are always filled with regret whenever they think of the way they spent their time during their younger years. The memory is like a horror show to them. To add salt to the injury, they already know that they won't ever get those years back.

As you are reading this, are you proud of how you use your time?

It is not uncommon to see young lads who spend the vast majority of their time chasing cheap thrills and doing things that do not necessarily prepare them for a better future. They spend so much time doing nothing tangible while they allow the really important things to be postponed indefinitely.

Approaching life like that is an easy way to find yourself in the worst possible position in years to come. I believe you wouldn't want the time you are wasting now to bite you hard in the future. That's why it's important to redefine how you use your time.

• Spend time with the right set of people.

• Spend time doing things that will help make your future better.

If you think of the consequences of spending the vast majority of your time on irrelevant things, you will come to understand that it's like a recipe for disaster.

Using your time right takes a lot of discipline and you've got to look beyond cheap pleasures and focus on disciplining yourself. It will make it easier for you to spend time doing things based on the hierarchy of priorities.
