1 MINUTE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Need to Kill Some Time? Read This!

An antidote to wasting your time

--

I have carefully selected five quotes by popular thinkers, that promote handling this precious and finite ressource more consciously. Whenever I slack off or want to “kill some time” out of bad habit, I go and re-read them.

These quotes remind me to make every waking moment count for something:

“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.” — Charles Darwin

“You may delay, but time will not.” — Benjamin Franklin

“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” — William Penn

“As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.” — Henry David Thoreau

“There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.” — Mahatma Gandhi

And one of my own…

“Don’t try to kill time — time will kill you.” — Scollurio

Thank you so much for reading this (time)piece.

If you want to know, why I think it’s important to let yourself get bored again, read this.
