Study Notes

Time as a Valuable Resource

We all have 24 hours a day, and it's up to us to make the most of it.
Imagine a bank that credits your account with $86,400 each morning, but deletes any unused balance at the end of the day.
This bank is a metaphor for time, which credits us with 86,400 seconds each day.

The Consequences of Wasting Time

If we fail to use the time given to us, it's lost forever.
There is no carrying over a balance from one day to the next.
There is no overdraft, and we cannot draw against "tomorrow's" time.
