In the 1976 song, "Fly Like an Eagle," Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band sings "time keeps on slipping, into the future." We know this is a true statement, as time waits for no one. Time is arguably our most valuable resource. Sometimes we think it is money, but money comes and goes. Time only goes and each of us has finite time on Earth. Yet, we all waste a lot of time doom scrolling social media, watching You Tube or Tic Toc videos, playing phone games, etc. Many things we could be doing to be more productive do not happen because we are squandering time, procrastinating, drifting… slipping into the future. I encourage you to manage and protect your time. Particularly if you want to "fly like an Eagle" and earn that Eagle Rank, awareness and working within your time is paramount. Show time the same care as you do a pocket full of money, as time is arguably more valuable.
