# [The Value of Time - ActionCOACH](https://www.actioncoach.com/articles/blog/the-value-of-time)

**Consider these:**

1. To understand the value of a year, talk to a student who has failed an important exam.  
 2. To understand the value of a month, talk to a mother who has given birth to a baby a month prematurely.  
 3. To understand the value of a week, talk to the publisher of a weekly newspaper.  
 4. To understand the value of an hour, talk to a couple in love, who are separated and want only to be together again.  
 5. To understand the value of a minute, talk to someone who has just missed a train or a plane.  
 6. To understand the value of a second, talk to someone who has lost a loved one in an accident.  
 7. To understand the value of a millisecond, talk to someone who won a silver medal at the Olympic Games.

Time moves on whether we like it or not. How well do you ensure you are using yours wisely? We are busy people – heck, we live by the “New York Minute!” Do you run your day? Or does your day run you?

Gather all the time you have left -every moment, and it will be of great use to you. Complete what you must. Ensure it imatters – to your business, to your team- and to YOU.

Mostly, remember to share time with people you value and love and it will become even more precious.
