What time is it?

What have you done today? How much time have you wasted? Everyone is always saying, "I don't have time." But how true is that really. Let's take a look.

According to a survey done in 2009 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this is how the average person spends their day:

7.7 hours - sleeping

8.7 hours - working

1.1 hours - household activities

1.1 hours - eating and drinking

That leaves 5.4 hours for other stuff!

"Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent."

 -Ambrose Bierce

What would you do if you had a little bit more time in your day? Exercise more? Cook more? Read more? I honestly believe one of the biggest reasons that people don't reach their goals and aren't more successful is because of their lack of time management. I'm not the only one that thinks this either.

"Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them."

-Dion Boucicault 

"Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst."

-William Penn 

"Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present."

-Roger Babson

Life isn't going to wait for you to decide to jump on board. It keeps going with or without you. Don't waste your precious time. What does that song say? Are we murderers because we kill time? I think so. Think of one thing you've been putting off and make some time to do it today.

"Time goes, you say? Ah no!

Alas, Time stays, we go."

-Henry Austin Dobson
