What's the difference between *one bit* and *a little bit*? Are that both phrases below the same? spending one bit your time spending a little bit your time I think "spend your time a little" sounds better, that's right? But this is the first time I see that expression (one bit) and I don't know how to use correctly in a phrase ... how / where can i use each word? Thankful for help me with this matter.

Hi Admilson, this question is more appropriate for the ‘Discussions’ section of the Italki website or ‘discussões’

So others can help you, when you see an expression that you would like explained. Write down the entire sentence that you found it in.

Things like context and sentence structure can give Teachers, Tutors or Native speakers a better chance of evaluating a sentence for you.

I will try to help you anyway.

To understand this expression better, imagine that your day or an hour of your time is a whole pizza sliced into segments. “One bit of your time” would be a slice (bit) of the pizza. 

This is an informal way to talk about time.
