Your worth is not defined by what you achieve or acquire. It’s a question of who you become and how you contribute to others.

60 minutes = 4% of your day
45 minutes = 3% of your day
30 minutes = 2% of your day
If you workout for one hour, walk for 45 minutes and read for 30 minutes, it's 9% of your day.
You do not have a lack of time,

Silence is your friend.
