“We live and we die by time, don’t we.”

— Tom Hanks, Cast Away

We measure everything by the clock.

From nanoseconds on a computer to hours in a day, every activity is timed. Commute time, lunch time, bus time, game time, lesson time, school time, meeting time – it’s all measured. It’s all on a schedule.

We measure the time it takes to do every little thing, from the moment we’re born to the moment we die.

We know how long it all takes.

But the question is – do we measure how well all that time is used?

Yesterday’s gift of time … Laundry on a Friday night. So my wife could relax.
