Time is the theme for the Weekly Photo Challenge. Depict TIME in a photograph.
One of my jobs as a university educator is to teach students about the wise use of leisure time and to help them form a definition of leisure they can use over the course of their life time. They had to describe their career, their lifestyle and their leisure over three future time frames. This photo shows an example of a student’s display. She apparently listened to me in class!
If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?
John Wooden
Love that John Wooden quote! I made a collage of pictures and quotes when I was planning for my retirement. I still have it in my office to help me focus on my vision and dreams.

I take my leisure time as seriously as I take my work 🙂 aka I play as hard as I teach.

I love that quote. Very nice job by your student also. Forty-five for retired is hopeful dreaming for most, however. Beautiful blog.

Thank you. The timeline is for 45 years into the future when she will retire. Who retires at 45? Must be nice 🙂

Oh, yes. I misinterpreted it. I got carried away on that retirement bit and didn’t look at the other time zones, or I would have seen that it made sense. Thanks for the comment.

That display is great. It reminds me of a collage that I made once in a class where we were supposed to manifest our desired future by creating a collage of it. I am ‘living that collage’ today. Your student’s collage tells me she has a long, healthy, adventurous life ahead of her.

How cool is that, Lisa! I made a collage 30 years ago as part of a women’s church retreat. I still have it. Amazing how these values placed on paper have power!

The John Wooden quote, which I have never heard before, is a gem!
… owning a retirement community and retiring at 45… awesome and ambitious goals!

… hadn’t read all of the comments above when I commented… I see that 45 is not an age, but a number of years into the future. That’s probably more realistic 🙂 When thinking of myself, I don’t know that I will ever “retire.” I’m hoping for a balance between work and leisure that shifts gently with age.
