The prime moment to achieve greatness in this decade was three years ago; the next significant opportunity arose on January 1st, 2024—yesterday. People often say that life waits for nobody, but I beg to differ—it’s time that waits for nobody. Time is the swiftest force on Earth and the yardstick by which God measures our progress.

The only way to make your life count is to make your time count. Focus on your priorities. Your life won’t make sense if your time doesn’t. You can earn more money, enjoy better food, build stronger relationships, explore incredible places, and secure better jobs, but time cannot be increased. Therefore, time is the most valuable and must be treasured.

Time isn’t transferrable, accumulatable, or reversible. That’s why it’s the most formidable force on Earth. To value time, you must be deliberate and precise about managing it.

Imagine a daily bank account depositing $8640 every morning—that’s the daily gift from Mr. Time. Unfortunately, we often squander it, unable to carry over the unused time from yesterday to today.

Rotimi, I often overlook the blessing of daily time. Yes, you are blessed. That’s why David said, “God daily loads us with benefits” (Psalm 68:19). Here are five things you must do daily to maximize time:

1. Expect it.

2. Plan for it.

3. Don’t waste it.

4. Use it wisely.

5. Utilize it fully daily.

According to the law of use, whatever you don’t use, you lose. This applies to time as well. Therefore, anticipate time daily, plan for it meticulously, utilize it efficiently, apply wisdom in its use, and conscientiously use it all. Champions come full and leave empty in this world.

Understand this: People may not see what you do with time, but they will soon see what life does to you. You can either waste time or invest it. Life is a choice, but the wise choose wisely.

What are your thoughts?
