Between the last post and last month’s theme, I’ve gone over taking time for yourself and how important it is to fit this “me” time into your day.

Today I want to talk about those individual minutes and where they can come from.

If you don’t know, I am married with three kids, own a home that can only be described as a “Handyman’s Special” ad my husband is not a handyman. I run an Internet marketing,  blogging, and freelance writing business while also running a part time Mommy’s Helper (babysitting) service three days a week. Furthermore I am actively involved in local politics and the education system. Basically I have a lot of opinions and I like to tell them to people. With all this going on you’d think I have no time to myself all all.

Not true.

I’ve just learned to take my time where I can get it. I enjoy a cup of tea or iced tea (depending on the season) while dinner is cooking. I spend a little longer in the shower. I’ll read a couple of chapters while I send my kids out to play. Take advantage of every moment of your life. Think of it as a bank account that has $86,400 in it every morning but by the end of the day will be empty no matter what you do with it. Wouldn’t you try to get the greatest quality for your money?

Well it’s the same with time. You get 86,400 seconds in every day and they will be wasted by the end of the day unless you do something productive, creative, meaningful with it. After all, if you waste it – it’s never coming back.
