The word “time” has its origin in the Old English word tima, which means “limited space of time,” and the Proto-Germanic *timon- “time” from PIE *di-mon-, suffixed form of root *da- “to divide.” The concept of “time as an indefinite continuous duration” is recorded from late 14c.

Time can be defined as “a continuous, measurable quantity in which events occur in a sequence proceeding from the past through the present to the future.”

Time is what we measure in minutes, hours, days, and years, and it is our most precious gift and resource on Earth. Time is non-refundable, so we must learn to live life by a compass, rather than by a clock.

Because time management really is life management, a positive mom is selective with who and how she invests her time. A positive mom is intentional in making time for what she feels is important in her life, those places, people, and activities that give her joy, help her grow, and allow her to make a positive contribution in the world.
