The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as: A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. Interesting.

The reality is that while most people can tell you what time it is, they can't necessarily tell you what time is because it is a paradox. We speak in minutes, hours, days, and years, and yet, what is it that we are measuring? Regardless of race, ethnicity, social status, etc., etc., time is the same for everyone; we all get the same days in a year, hours in a day, and minutes in an hour.

It's rare to attend a business conference or work retreat and not hear the words "Time Management" mentioned. I guess it's because every moment counts in life and some people know how to make time work for them. Throughout my life, my friends would often comment on how I was able to accomplish so much during the week. Work, household responsibilities, community functions, family gatherings and much, much more. It was as if they thought I had a magic formula or was blessed with more time in my life rather than the ability to manage and leverage what we all are given - 24 hours.

Whether you're at hard at work or hard at play, you are producing something. Be aware of what your product looks like to others and remember that time doesn't stand still for anyone. Make every moment count!
