I am a young (28 years old) boarding school teacher. I constantly hear from my students that they have no time in their days to read a book just for fun or wake up early and learn something new. I then ask them to check their screen time on their phones for the week. The results are always sobering.
I mention my age as I think I have a pretty good sense of time and how much we all have for someone my age. Having lost important friends and family since I was a kid, time ( and death I guess) has always been a minor obsession of mine.
Back to my students. I tell them that if they are awake for 16 hours, that's 32 half hours. If they use one of those half hours for reading/ development of skill/ exercise, they have no idea how much they can accomplish. Plus, a watch is a great way to mark your progress
Time is the most powerful thing in the universe. It's undefeated. You can't out think it, out work it, out run it. You just have to enjoy the ride, try to be the best you can be, and be good to each other, because no one is getting out of here alive.
Wear a watch. Enjoy every second.
