When I was young, my mom told me to look at my watch without any distraction for 60 seconds as the minute hand completed one full cycle. That was the day I learnt to appreciate the value of time.

Looking back, I can see there was another teaching moment there. To appreciate any intangible aspect of life, we often think we need to do more of it. Instead what’s needed is to slow down and single it out from other distractions. That is how we can grow to comprehend its worth.

When we truly understand its value, we will use it better instead of more.
