A Waste of Time

Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it and spend it rather than invest it.~ Jim Rohn

That quote is so true. How often do we have time and we waste it by doing absolutely nothing. I am a good one for wasting time and one of my new year's resolutions was to use time wisely, since its our one resource we use that we can never get back. So I began my list of all the things that can be done in 5 minutes; because lets face it, that's the time we waste the most....the 5 minutes before we have to leave the house, the 5 minutes before we go to bed, before we eat dinner. It may only be 5 minutes, but it's 5 minutes to get some of the little things done...and maybe a few of the important ones done as well.
