But a wake-up call for you, my friends who I speak with every week. I’m not just reminding you about using your time wisely but myself too. What kind of friend would I be if I let you sit back and watch the world go by, as you literally kill time on your mobile phones or binge watching on Netflix?

Robert Greene one of my favourite non-fiction writers has a concept he calls Alive Time versus Dead Time. Dead Time is when you sit around and you wait until things happen to you. On the other hand there is Alive Time when you are in control, when you make every second count, when you are learning and improving and growing.

What kind of time do you want to be involved in?

I wanted to share this eye-opening website HERE that always stops me dead in my tracks when I’m tempted to treat time disrespectfully.

It's simple,amazing and scary at the same time.
