Incredible Idioms 2

Time is money

This is one of the most used English idioms. Time is money, deal with it! And from this fact many other idiomatic phrases arise - saving time, wasting time, etc. 
Imagine that it would really be so - no time, no money (or the other way round?)  And because we all want to be rich (and who denies it, s/he's even planning to rob us), we should at least be avare of this time/money fact and make some use of it.
So: Don't waste your time procrastinating on Facebook!
      Save your time with careful time-management!
      Spend your time doing something useful or pleasant!
      Spare a minute or two for yourself every day!
      Plan your exams careful so you don't run out of time with your learning!
      Spend some precious time with your friend and family!
      Of course you're short of time when you play videogames 24/7!

That's how I like it! I'm looking forward to another of your Splendid Similies! :-)
And please, don't feel depressed, I think that we all deserve some nice time filled with fun between the semesters ;).
