Chronometric Capital: The Irreversibility of Time and the Economics of Human Productivity
In today's life, where we're doing everything and giving importance to everything, there's one thing we often leave behind or even ignore. That's time. Once you've given it away, it doesn't come back. Many prominent figures today have proven that time is money. Time, like money, once it's gone, won't come back. Therefore, manage your time efficiently and do everything productively so that you feel you've made a living every day. Time is an invisible entity. Everyone has 24 hours a day, and each person uses it differently. Some people waste them completely, while others make them so useful that they could live for the next 10 or 12 years. They earn so much money in just 24 hours that they're able to utilize their time in their lives.
All the rich people, all the big people I've seen, they always follow a routine in their lives, waking up in the morning. What time to eat, what time to go to the office—all of this is part of their routine, and this is why they are successful. If you don't value your time, don't use it and don't utilize it, then you will never be successful. Time management is something that is of utmost importance. Whatever you want to do, be it studying or working, time management is the most important thing. You should give it the highest priority. When we have to spend our time on activities, then we actually get potential earnings, how much time there is, how many hours we can work, and what all we can do. This is what gives us an opportunity, and this is progress. Gradually we build our time.
The biggest problem with our generation is that we waste a lot of time, be it on social media, real scrolling, or short or unnecessary discussions; we are silently wasting our time on many things, and everyone thinks, "What will happen if we spend 10 minutes here and there?" We don't even realize when those 10 minutes turn into 10 hours. If you give maximum time in a day to Instagram, play games, do those productive things, and make interest calls or do SSC things that are not your work, then you are wasting time; you are not doing anything productive, and all these things were given. You would have understood later after doing them.
A real loss of time occurs when you forget important work and instead rely on the fact that if we had not wasted time and had been doing this work, then it would have been over by now or even consider that you are lazy the whole day and at night you come to know that this work will remain and then you have to do it for the whole night; then these are small things that make a person lazy.
The relationship between time and money goes far beyond just earning value. When we're learning a skill, we're actually laying the foundation for future income. During a course, we wonder if we're learning so much, but will we get any output or outcome from it? Then we feel like we're doing something pointless. We could be doing something that earns us money instead. However, the skill you're learning can certainly take time. But once you master it, you'll see that you've become a highly interactive person, and your productivity indirectly translates into not just time, but quality of life. Those who respect others receive respect in return, and they become successful in life.
Just look at a real-life example: if you teach a particular scale for one hour every day, then in one year you have invested 365 hours, and this investment increases your potential, not just more. Day by day, send a message right now. Another person wasting one hour in random entertainment or in this calling wasted the same time of the year but got no output from it. Both did the same thing at the same time, but the result would have been completely different. The first person who had mastered the skill or focused more on the skill became successful. He would have gotten a job, which would have been very good, and the other person would still be in Mr. Understanding and would have to search for himself and think. I said, "This is the only small difference that comes up." You just have to learn to utilize your time always.
