The article “Stop losing time and focus” by Aafia Anis highlighted the importance of time. Although time is significantly more valuable than money, most of us don’t value it.

We should not waste time, rather we should use it effectively by setting goals and then trying to achieve them on time. It is rightly said that once time goes, it never comes back.
