We love to say it:
“I’ve got some free time.”
But time is never free.
Every second is a withdrawal from the only account you can’t refill.
Your life.
You don’t spend time.
You trade pieces of yourself for whatever you do.
Scrolling? That’s a trade.
Complaining? That’s a trade.
Building? Also a trade.
There is no neutral.
You’re always paying.
So the question isn’t “Do I have free time?”
The question is:
“Is what I’m giving my life to worth the cost?”
You don’t “make time” for what matters.
You choose it.
You prioritize it.
You sacrifice for it.
Your time is your signature.
Your time is your legacy.
Your time is your proof you were here.
So treat it like it is:
Rare.
Precious.
Final.
No “free time.”
Only time.
Make it count.
