What Are You Doing With Your 1,440?

There are 1,440 minutes in a day. Just as you budget and know how you spend your money, how do you spend your 1,440 minutes. The activities you do in your day are a reflection of what you value.

Do you say that you don’t value television but upon your reflection of your 1,440 minutes, your evaluation shows that you spend many of those 1,440s watching mindless television? For many of us, we say that we don’t have time to exercise but, do we?

1,440 minutes is a lot of time. Every minute counts. Make yours count and reflect what you value and your priorities.

When it comes to making purchases, most people have an idea in their minds of what they’re willing to spend. You probably wouldn’t walk into a shoe store and say, ‘I will buy that pair of shoes no matter how much they cost.’ If the salesperson says the shoes cost $400, most people would not buy them. That’s because when it comes to making purchases, people set a budget in their minds of how much those shoes are really worth to them.

But what about when it comes to how you spend your time?  Do you sometimes spend more time on certain tasks than they’re really worth? For instance, when it comes to cleaning your home do you spend an hour a day doing so? Two hours? Three hours? More than three hours? Is dusting really worth that much of your time? What about your other projects and appointments? How much is that time worth to you?

We all get the same amount of time each day–24 hours, 1,440 minutes per day. At least 8 of those hours are allocated to sleeping. So, we all have approximately 16 hours when we’re awake.

By setting a time budget for certain activities, you will always ensure your time is being spent on what is most important to you, your family and your future.

How much time are you willing to invest with a spouse or loved one? How many hours will you allocate to working, cleaning, exercising, eating or watching television?

Before doing anything, ask yourself how much time you’re willing to invest. Write those time investments down so you’re able to reference them regularly. Then, stick to your time budget.

Time isn’t an unlimited currency, so be sure to spend yours wisely.  Make sure that the activities and things you do in your life reflect your priorities and values.  The ultimate happiness is when your time is spent as a reflection of who and what you are.
