The definition of operatonal definition is described by the Wikipedia below. Thus I won't go into the details of that and address the question directly.

The operational definition of time is a dimension of physical space bounded by the known physical laws and organizes the know universe in a linear fashion that is comprehensible by modern human beings. This dimension of space also has great influence on the 3 natural forces of nature (e.g. strong and weak nuclear forces, gravity, and electromagnetic force).

Time passes in terms of pico-seconds in the arena of nuclear forces and perhaps tens of thousands of years on the astronomical scale where gravity is the strongest, however has a great deal of revelance in the daily life of human beings in the electromagnetic arena.

The time that is understood by all is opetationalized time.

If I ask you, "what is time now?' you will give some answer and I understand it without going for the definition of time.

If you ask me to wait for 10 minutes ,I will be doing that with out asking what exactly do you mean by 10 minutes. This tilme is the operationlised 10 minutes.

Time is usually defined relative to the system in which you are measuring it, where the system goes from less entropy to greater entropy. This is an over over over-simplified answer, but the full answer can be found through a couple chapters in the source below
