You have described the value of time very well. Indeed, time never comes back and wasting it is not beneficial in any case. Your experiences, such as time wasted working online, teach us that it's important to do research and be cautious before proceeding.
Time management and planning is very important in everyday life. Setting priorities, avoiding unnecessary tasks, and using every moment with purpose make us more effective and successful. Indeed knowing the value of time is very important for growth and peace in life. I wish you success and blessings.
Warm regards!
