RESCUE YOUR CHILDREN
How often have you thought about this "your time is your life
and your life is your time, when one is gone so is the other "
Time is infinite, not a renewable resource. The average person
wastes two hours each day through disorganization and clutter in
the home and workplace, causing pressure, stress and
unhappiness. We sleep 8 hours a day, that leaves 16. If you
waste 2 hours, that's one-eighth of your life, thrown away, gone
forever. Time is not managed, time is first organized by having
your home and workplace organized, under your control and then
it is managed. But, what about your children?
Academia has done little to identify what time loss is to
students in high school and college, how it contributes to
stress and pressure and that teaching the value of time at a
young age is an investment, an investment that can be spent
later, but more important, if children understood the value of
organizing their space could give them added time, reduce stress
and bring more joy and happiness into their school experience
and that this knowledge of controlling time would prepare them
for a smoother entry into their careers and adult life with more
confidence.
Give your children an advantage now that you perhaps did not
have. Give them the gift of time, even introducing them at
three, four or five, what the significance's is to putting their
toys and clothing away, where it belongs, can benefit them later
when they are looking for that favorite toy or shirt later and
further illustrates to them that having a mess in their room or
playroom causes the clutter that causes confusion that causes
pressure and stress and lost time. It's never to early to
explain to children what stress is because they feel it, as you
feel it, they just don't understand it.
Give your children this opportunity. Teach them at a young age
the value of time through organizing their own space. Teach them
that keeping it neat, keeping everything where it belongs and
putting it back, is their responsibility. A responsibility
learned at a young age will make them responsible adults.
Time is your most important resource. It is what you do with it
and what you teach your children to do with it that can lead to
a happier more successful life. Don't let it slip away.
