+# Tips and Tricks
+
+## The time duration value
+
+The time duration value is a custom [flag value](https://pkg.go.dev/flag#Value) that converts a string input into a duration of time.
+A typical string input would be in the form of something like `"3 days, 12 hours and 39 minutes"`.
+The value can parse units in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
+
+To ensure that your string input is parsed correctly there are simple rules to follow.
+
+- The input must be wrapped in quotes.
+- Use `day` or `days` to parse the number of days.
+- Use `hour` or `hours` to parse the number of hours.
+- Use `minute` or `minutes` to parse the number of minutes.
+- Use `second` or `seconds` to parse the number of seconds.
+- There must be at least one space between the number and the unit of time.
+ E.g. `"7 days"` is valid, but `"7days"` is invalid.
+
+### Example valid string inputs
+
+- `"3 days"`
+- `"6 hours, 45 minutes and 1 second"`
+- `"1 day, 15 hours 31 minutes and 12 seconds"`
+- `"(7 days) (1 hour) (21 minutes) (35 seconds)"`
