Time Wealth: Are you living abundantly or just surviving the clock?
Sahil Bloom’s concept of Time Wealth is a wake-up call, a perspective-shifting reminder of just how finite and precious our time truly is. He invites us to reflect on the most important relationships in our lives—be it our parents, children, siblings, or close friends—and calculate how much time we actually have left to spend with them based on the average life expectancy of 80 years. Think about it: when you translate those numbers into remaining visits, the reality hits hard. Are you making the most of these moments?
For me, this reflection struck a chord. My brother and his family live 3,300 kilometers away, and as soon as I read Bloom’s example, I felt compelled to act. I didn’t want time to slip through my fingers, so I sent him a text to plan a summer visit. It was a small but meaningful step toward reclaiming a piece of my time wealth. Now, I’m asking you: Who is that one person you want to spend more time with? What steps can you take today to prioritize that connection?
Research shows that a sense of time abundance is directly linked to greater life satisfaction. Feeling in control of your schedule and aligning your time with your core values are the key ingredients to cultivating this wealth. But achieving it requires intentionality—and the courage to address behaviors that drain your time wealth:
Overcommitment: Do you say “yes” to everything, only to end up overwhelmed and stretched too thin?
Neglecting Rest: Are you constantly doing “just one more thing” at the expense of your well-being?
Lack of Boundaries: Is there no clear line between work and life, leaving you perpetually “on”?
If you find yourself nodding to any (or all) of these, you’re not alone. But now is the moment to pause and reflect. How do your daily choices stack up against your values? Are you willing to recalibrate, set boundaries, and redefine how you spend your most precious asset—time?
You have the power to become a Time Billionaire, someone who not only treasures time but wields it wisely. It’s time to rethink your perspective and reclaim your schedule for what truly matters. Start today—your abundant, fulfilled life is waiting. Who’s ready to join the ranks of Time Billionaires? Let’s do this together.
