Wasted Talent... Excess Leaven

Just thinking about wasted "talent"(Matthew 25:14-30). Time can be considered a "talent" that should be wisely invested. Some are given more time than others but what matters is whether your time is used profitably or in vain. Are we using our time like our friend Daniel Johnson to advance the Gospel of Christ(do a youtube search- C2C4C), or are we burying our "talent" in ego and self-indulgence by playing video games, for instance. I'm not condemning playing video games entirely, but like Jesus said, "A little leaven will leaven the whole loaf," -so a little too much "leisure" time could spoil the loaf. Be careful how much you use (or waste)!
I am reminded of this poem:

Only one life;
'twill soon be past.
Only what's done for Christ
will last.
