Time is the most precious gift we are all blessed with. Much more valuable than money or anything else in this world. It annoys me, when a few people do not understand its importance. It is probably the only thing that, once spent, cannot be earned back. So when people come around trying to waste your time, it gets annoying, doesn’t it?

I had one such experience over a year back where a person wasted my time to the point that it made my brain explode and ruined an entire vacation. It felt like I lost ten days of my life. It took me a while to regain my calm and brush the dust off my shoulders.

Other kinds of time wasters concentrate too much on the negative and procrastinate rather than focusing on what good can be done. It is sad to watch them swallow themselves in the same cycle. So when people ask me, “Why travel solo?” or, “Why so many places?” It is because I know that now is the time for me. I have the resources, and who knows what’s in store later? It’s also a great technique to take time out for myself.

I was once very naive when I started working. I just kept waiting for opportunities that never came by. Whether it was travel, trekking, or any other activity, I kept waiting for someone to give me company. I never realized that the things I wanted in life might not be what everyone around me desired. On any given day, I would value my experiences a lot more than any materialistic object or money. So I started pursuing my hobbies one after the other.

How to stop wasting time?

• Surround yourself with people who are getting things done.
• Even if it’s rest and silence that you need, connect with someone similar.
• Prioritize what you need more in life.
• Make a routine and follow it.
• If you cannot follow a routine, figure out what works best for you.
• Talk to people with similar interests.
• Cut out all the negativity as far as possible.

So there it is, a little jibber jabber about time and how I’ve realized its importance, if you have anything to add do let me know. Have a great day. 😀
