Time

Time is money says the proverb, but
turn it around and you get  a precious truth.
Money is time.
~ George Gissing

Time is an interesting thing.  I am probably the first person to ever make that observation.  We force our days into structure - false structure and false units - rather than just letting it go on as it will and managing our days by light or energy level or whatever.

And we put expectations on one another for what we ought to be doing at certain times.  The time in our lives by which we ought to be talking or dressing ourselves.  The time of day we should be going to sleep.  The time we should spend slowing down to apologize after crashing into someone else's car.

There are a lot of expectations that come with time.  Don't let anyone tell you differently.  And if they tell you that "time is money," then you charge them for taking your valuable time to tell you something you already knew.  And charge them handsomely so they will remember what you have taught them.

And watch out for time wasters.  And by "watch out," I mean - literally - have your watch out to time things that are wasting your time.  So you can bill people for those things.  A lot of people might not pay those bills, but if even a few do, that's money in your pocket.  And you can't put a price on the money you have in your pocket.
