The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do ~ Walter Bagehot

There is a time for some things, and a time for all things; a time for great things, and a time for small things ~ Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote de la Mancha (1605–1615), chapter 35

Units of Time:

The second (s) is the unit. A minute (min) is 60 seconds in length, and an hour is 60 minutes in length. A day is 24 hours or 86400 seconds in length.

Temporal Measurement

Temporal measurement, or chronometry, take two distinct forms: the calendar, a mathematical tool for organising intervals of time and the clock, a physical mechanism that counts the passage of time

World Time

A single worldwide timescale that has been adopted was the Greenwich Mean Time GMT, that was created in 1847. A few countries have replaced it with Coordinated Universal Time, UTC.

Time Management

Time management is the organization of tasks or events by first estimating how much time a task requires and when it must be completed, and adjusting events that would interfere with its completion so it is done in the appropriate amount of time. Calendars and day planners are common examples of time management tools..

Respect Other People's Time

Always do what it takes to arrive a few minutes earlier than the time that you have set for meetings. If by chance, you will be arriving late, call and let let them know. Treat other people's time with respect.

Moment in Time

When we talk of a moment in time, we mean a brief period of time. We say things like, I will be back in a moment or give me a moment. However, a moment has a precise length of time. It originally, in the olden days, an English reference for ninety seconds.

Jiffy

When we talk of I will be with you ina jiffy, we mean a brief moment in time. However, in science, it has a precise measurement of time and that is one-hundreth of a second, the time it takes for light in a vacuum to travel one centimetre.

The Origin of Seconds and Minutes

Around 2400 B.C., the ancient Sumarians, who used six as their mathematical base, divided a circle into 360 degrees, with each degree subdivided into another 60 parts, and so on. The Romans called these units minute prima, or "first small part", and secunda minuta, or "second small part". This system was perfect for round clock faces, and thats how we use minutes and seconds as divisions of time.
