Time

Some thoughts on the characteristics of Time as a resource:

• Time can only be acquired and utilised in finite quantities.
• Time is completely inelastic.
• Time is free (but not cheap).
• Time, in and of itself, is a neutral quantity; it only takes on certain characteristics based on how it is used.
• Time is the only resource that everyone has exactly the same quantity of, no more, no less.
• Time is the universal currency: everyone, everywhere, is spending it on something.
• Time is the only resource that is essential for every undertaking.
• Time has no intrinsic value - on its own it's worthless,
• Time only becomes valuable when it is used or spent on something of value.
• Time can never be created or destroyed.
• Time can't be killed, only wasted on worthless activities.
• Used, Time's potential value is limitless.
• Unused, Time's actual value is worthless.
• Time can't be stopped (or started).
• Time can't be stored.
• Time can't really be "saved".
• Time can't be transferred.
• Time can't be traded.
• Once gone, Time can't be replaced.
• Time can't be substituted.
