How much is the value of time really worth? Carl Sandburg said, โTime is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.โ
In this Momentum Friday episode from the Passion Struck podcast, I tackle the value of time. I examine this by studying wisdom from the stoics on the topic and using ten of their mantras for managing time.
