The pleasure derived from any single experience declines with each repetition. If the worth of your life is truly the sum of your experiences, which I basically believe it to be, then you should do your best to maximize the joy and pleasure you receive from those experiences. You will never again experience the second that has just past you spent that second. This moment can only be lived once and in one way. Do you choose to do this or do you choose to do that? When you choose one path in life, you actively abandon another.

You could be living more each day if you spent less time on your phone and tablet. You could have spent it getting more work done so you can stay ahead and possible take an early vacation. You could have used an extra hour to do something new or meet someone new. Instead of living experiences, you’re creating memories you won’t care to remember. However, how we use this technology and how often we use it needs to be regulated. There’s no denying that, nor should it be avoided. Technology is a necessary part of life now. Calculate how many hours – it’s almost certainly hours – of a day you waste texting, tweeting, Facebooking, writing down or commenting on your own life or the lives of others instead of living in the moment. You should count how many times you pick up and check or use your phone in a day. Every hour of your life you spend poorly is a piece of your life wasted. Yet, you are most likely one of the billions of people in the world who are wasting their time away. You can’t slow down how quickly you spend your time and you can never stop it you will run out no matter what. Unfortunately, most people don’t think about the value of time. You never know how much this next upcoming minute is really worth, as it could very well be your last.

You’re almost never given a head's up when you’re about to run out, making death almost always a surprise. You could have another couple of decades, or you could merely have another couple of hours. What’s worse is that you’re not informed on how much time you actually have. You are given a certain amount of time you can spend in your life. There is nothing else more valuable than time because time can’t be bought. In reality, it is the only thing in the world that has intrinsic value. Time is the most precious commodity for any living thing.
