Money Isn't The Only Thing You Have To Budget

It's imperative to budget your money if you want to properly manage it, and it's equally important to budget your time if you want to have enough. Most of us have very busy schedules. If you work full-time, have a house to maintain, kids to raise and spend time with, a significant other who you'd like to be more than just a roommate, and exercise to remain healthy to do all of that; it can be hard to fit everything in.

My husband and I got a rare date night tonight, and while we were walking together, we talked about things we'd like to do with our time (like post on this blog on a more regular basis), and how hard it is to find the time for everything. But then we starting talking about how if we actually sat down and looked at how we were spending our time every day, we might be surprised at how we could fit in a few more of the important things. I started thinking about how our time is much like our money, most of us don't have enough for everything we need or want, and we have to decide when and how we're going to use it, and prioritize and make sacrifices when necessary. Wouldn't it be great if we all won the lottery and had clocks that could stop time? Since that's not reality, I guess the Money Maiden will have to be as diligent with her time as she is with her money.
