The overlooked value of time
The most valuable things in life are often the ones we overlook—until they run out. And time is at the top of that list.
We guard our money. We protect our privacy. But we hand out our time like candy. Endless scrolling, overcommitting, staying in energy-draining conversations or jobs. Every day, we have less of it—yet we rarely treat time like the precious resource it is.
No one really considers time. But every day we’re trading it—for something.
So the question is: What are you trading your time for today?
Do what fuels you
Time spent on things you love isn’t lost—it’s invested. It gives back in the form of confidence, passion, and enthusiasm. When you prioritize what lights you up, you radiate a different energy. People feel it. You feel it.
So do more of that.
Connect and create
If you want to live a life full of meaning, here’s a simple rule:
Every day, either connect with someone or create something.
Ideally, do both—and you’ll feel fulfilled in ways you can’t imagine. Connection fuels your heart. Creation fuels your spirit.
A bold game changer: the energy audit
Want to make the most of your time? Start with your energy.
Here’s a powerful tool I use with clients: the Energy Audit. It helps you identify what fuels you—and what drains you.
How to do an Energy Audit:
Draw a line down the middle of a sheet of paper.
On the left side, list everything that drains your energy in a typical week—people, tasks, habits, environments.
On the right side, list what fills you with energy—activities, moments, people, experiences.
Review both lists and ask:
What can I remove, reduce, or delegate from the left?
What can I increase or protect from the right?
This simple exercise brings immediate clarity. It gives you permission to stop wasting time on what chains you—and double down on what charges you.
A gentle challenge
Do yourself a favor:
Dedicate more time to the things that bring value to your life. Things that move you one step closer to your dream. Time is not just something you spend—it’s something you direct. With intention.
Because the overlooked value of time isn’t just about minutes and hours.
It’s about who you become in how you use them.
Love,
Laszlo
