Time Management

TIME MANAGEMENT - Concentrate on results, not being busy.

Time Management is inherent to best known practices of humanity. In a wider perspective its very natural. The way the universe ticks, the way the Earth makes the Sun and its light effective, the way the Nitrogen Cycle signs in the regular courses of climate, we may havent fully mapped. Here drops the big and obvious question : If Time Management is inherent, why we should be bothered with its fundamentals ?

We are the reason. We have made our ways hard to trod. The animal world brainstorms for food, safety and nesting. We ? Ask yourself. I can safely add that as our goals keep widening our commitments increase, and the more we commit the more we fail, the more we fail the more we resolve, the more we resolve the more we pack our diary – and here we run up against something – the time table – that’s limited. This is the necessity that invented Time Management.

Time, in itself, is very bland. Imagine yourself deep inside Pacific with only a foothold , and you will know what I mean. Now add a cool breeze, a few chirping birds, small helpings of Sympathy and Kindness – colour and spice of time – that’s life we deserve. In due course friends ask, How are you ?

So, So.. we reply. Truly we are not satisfied.

Time Management seek to embody in you such qualities that provides the escape from this tight rope walking.

First step to Time Management is Target Setting. Lets start with the day (with further experience move to weekly diary). List them on your diary. Then Prioritise and move.

While on the move plan how to approach, execute and close the first schedule. Your experience and wit joins in to support. The more correct your approach, the more faster is your accomplishment. Corporate world, who have many like you, uses brainstorming sessions to draw up the best , as well as economically optimised, approach.

Now that you have rooted yourself to the cause, shall we end this discussion ? Shall it be unhindred herefore ? No, my dear. Innocent interruptions, some very nagging, will try your patience. Time Management principals say that you must apprehend them, and, learn on the go. The best to minimise them is to understand which is Important and which is Urgent.

Important ones are for yourself that earns you meaningful gains. Urgent ones are your responsibilities to family, friends, relatives, acquaintances – ups moral values, cuts creativity. Most of us try to balance the two, and fail mostly. Here call the services of the Cruelest of You.

There is a word in Time Management diction – Procrastination. Simply said, Put Off. Sometimes even your cruelest self cannot kill an urgency, but procrastinates. The rescheduled responsibility, mind you, must find a place in your diary immediately. Remember, indefinite procrastination is cowardice. Once you do this, you surrender to the Devil in you, and thus negative thoughts make themselves Happy Prince of your mind. Will you allow that ?

In a nutshell, Procrastination, or, postponing

  • is good when it is for the better accomplishment of the task. On such occassions it is called Prioritisation and not Procrastination.
  • is bad when it is for lack of fundamentals (your achievements assume and thrive upon the fundamentals).
  • is worse when it is for lack of confidence, or, importance.
