I don’t have time! You might have heard this many times. Or you may have used this excuse before. To be honest, sometimes, even I give the same reason for my pending or incomplete tasks. The other day, I was speaking to a young student, who was planning to enroll in an engineering college. Her sister was complaining to me about her study and less marks in exam. According to her, she doesn't get enough time to study. In addition she stated "I need more than 24 hours in a day." This is not a case of just one student, but I have received same opinion from many student. I keep wondering about this student thought process. They get enough time from their school and college schedule, But still have complaints about it. And it is even difficult to imagine these kids changing from a student into a professional.
On the other hand, successful people or students also get those same 24 hours in a day. The time is same for every individual across planet. Have you thought about your time? or do you spend time on planning your time? Execution is also an important part. Time management is crucial for everyone and in our fast pace of life, time is getting more importance than anything in history. I'm not trying to teach you another management story. But making you realize that the time and its connection with our growth and development is on my target today. So I can only suggest you to use your time wisely. Because you cannot reverse the time or save it for future. You can get nice books, videos or podcast on "how to manage your time?"
“Every drop makes an Ocean” we all know this proverb with a great meaning. This simple proverb teaches us a billion-dollar success formula. This proverb is applicable for water storage, to gain or improve your wealth, and can be applied for your study or knowledge. This same can be applied for time as well. You cannot save the time but can extract every second of it into a valuable drop of your desired Ocean. You can convert your time into knowledge or wealth and that can be used in the future. You may get confused with the time conversion. The time conversion in knowledge is not as difficult as currency conversion or any other conversion. Also, rate of conversion depends upon your own grasping power and your own pace will decide how fast or slow you can build your own path.
Let’s take an example, you want to acquire new skill, or you want to read a big book. Everyone may have similar to do list in mind, but time is big constraint, isn’t it? We get 1440 minutes daily. Let’s start spending only 30 minutes for an activity that you've chosen on daily basis. In a month, you can put efforts of 900 minutes i.e. 10000 plus minutes in a year. I'm pretty sure everyone can make 30 minutes for their own benefits from their busy schedule. So, number of hours you spend on your own growth that time you are ideally converting into knowledge. Indirectly, you are saving or wisely using your time for your own personal development.

See, how simple is to grow and learn many things in life. When we are consistent with our efforts then time won’t be a constraint whereas time can be on your side to make many more things in the same time what everybody gets.
