When it comes to money, we all are very careful how we are spending it. While booking cabs, ordering food, going for a hair cut, we try grab ourselves the best and cheapest deal possible. But when the same things comes for time, we are not much passionate. We always have this perception that we have enough of it and can spend it as much as we want.

But the thing is, we all got a limited time. And we are supposed to spend it wisely. Some got more of it, some less, but what the real thing is that we don't know of it, as how much we had actually got.

And even then, we have so much spare time to our days and we want to invest it in some useful but we are unaware where too. the reason being that even we are unaware about our own hobbies and option available to us there only.

So, here's me to the rescue telling you how you can make good of your time , when you have it or create some time out of your busy schedule , investing in your favorite hobby.
