86400- The connecting link between Money and Time

How is Time and Money connected together thorugh 86400??Thats a weird thought!!
True, but trust me there is something more interesting behind it which I learned today.
Patni's 'PACE' trainer Vaishnavi gave us a small assignment, If you have INR 86400,what
would you do with it?
Well, my answer too oriented towards investment,wherein my formula comprised of investing 40K in mutual funds,20K in stocks and remaining in Fixed deposit or maybe spend it.Most of participants shared same investment story,wherein they utilised all the given amount.
So, the observation was that all of us invested focusing on long term and short term basis.
But in real life, given the same precious amount in form of time, how many of us actually invest it in right way??? I bet not many..
In a given day, we have 24 x 60 x 60 = 86400 seconds.
So, if we can plan these preciuos units in right and planned way depending on our long term and short terms needs, most of our problem will be solved.If we can design ,say we are going to invest X amount of 'Time' in Y activity and than A amount in B activity, The result we will get will be great.
This was a real good learning which I got today and I will try my best to implement in day -to-day life from now on.

Time management is key to ones growth, and with pressure on work-life balance these little small tricks can make wonders

Patni PACE is oriented towards employee development wherein Patni tries to grow soft skills of Patnites and move each one of them towards excellence.
This was third such program which I attended, the other being on Business Communications and Decision Making.
