Do you know what time it is?

There are 168 hours in a week. It sounds like a lot—and it is—but it doesn’t always feel that way. Ten minutes felt like an hour when I was in school, watching the clock tick down to the dismissal bell. Today, an hour feels like ten minutes when it’s the last hour before my son leaves to go back to school. You probably feel the same when your spouse is leaving for deployment.

The importance of an hour is certainly impacted by what is happening and how I feel about it. To get the most out of my 168, I need to invest some time in figuring out how I spend those hours.
