They do not respect others or their time, and worse: and they do not even respect themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Time, like real estate, is valuable\u2014primarily because there is a limited supply of both; there\u2019s no way of producing any more of either.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, time is even more valuable than real estate, because not only is our supply limited\u2014but we also never know how much of it we actually have.<\/p>\n<p>Time is one of the most important\u2014if not the most important\u2014resources to me; God knows I wasted enough of it the first half of my life; I\u2019ve got a lot of catching up to do in the second half (assuming, of course, I even have a second half coming\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Thus, I try to make optimal use of my time, at all times. My day typically runs from around 4:30 AM to around 8:30 PM, and it\u2019s generally \u201cfull-up.\u201d And even though I\u2019m extremely conscious of utilizing my time efficiently, and I try diligently to not waste any at all, I still rarely get everything done in a given day that I had hoped; I put in my sixteen hours, non-stop, then hit the sack exhausted. Get up the next morning, begin swinging again.<\/p>\n<p>So it really aggravates me when others don\u2019t respect my time. It means they don\u2019t respect me\u2014and, evidently, don\u2019t respect themselves either, given that they\u2019re willing to project such an irresponsible, inconsiderate image of themselves to others.<\/p>\n<p>When we make a commitment to somebody, they not only reciprocate with a commitment to us, but there\u2019s a ripple effect, as they arrange other aspects of their lives to accommodate that commitment\u2014scheduling their other activities, making commitments to others, working the flexible parts of their daily routine into and around the non. The reality is, they are planning to utilize the rest of their time based on, and structured around, our commitment to them. <a href=\"http:\/\/randeastwood.com\/2017\/05\/20\/are-you-a-time-thief\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read Entire Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By Rand Eastwood<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RandEastwood.com | I\u2019ve written on this topic before, and my position hasn\u2019t changed: people who don\u2019t keep their time commitments, those who are perpetually late\u2014for no substantial reason\u2014are irresponsible, and inconsiderate.
