Buying Time

It seems to me that the word time is a part of many phrases, and when you stop and think about them, many are interesting to consider.
Take buying time for example. I haven't seen it available anywhere, but I'm a discount shopper, so maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. If I buy a watch or a clock, am I buying time? Or does buying time mean that I am a procrastinator, or unorganized, or over scheduled?
What about the phrases: "haven't got time", "out of time", "saving time", "wasting time", "spending time", "making time", "marking time", and lastly, "time is money". I came accross this quote by M. Scott Peck,"Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it". It has been a "long time" since I "took time" to write anything. I just "haven't had time". The reality is that this really hasn't been a priority, because I truly do value my time, especially when I can give it to others! I will try and spend more time keeping you posted, that is, if time allows!
