make it count
Don't waste it
To make it count is to use an opportunity to maximum effect, treating it as though it won't come again.
The phrase often appears as encouragement before an important attempt: You've only got one shot—make it count.
It implies that effort or resources are limited, so waste nothing: If you're going to take a vacation, make it count.
