“It’s not that we have little time, but more that we waste a good deal of it.”
Seneca

In our modern lives, we often find ourselves mindlessly scrolling through social media or watching TV for hours on end, only to feel like time has slipped away from us. By being mindful of how we spend our time and focusing on activities that align with our values and goals, we can avoid wasting precious moments on things that don't truly bring us fulfillment. For example, instead of aimlessly browsing the internet, setting aside designated time for focused work or quality time with loved ones can help us make the most of our time and live more intentionally.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:15-16 ESV

The Bible verse encourages us to be wise in how we use our time, making the most of every opportunity. By being mindful and intentional in our actions, we can ensure that our time is spent on things that truly matter, reflecting the Stoic pillar of Wisdom in prioritizing meaningful activities over wasteful ones.
