How much time do you need for a day? Do you wish to have more time for a day? If you do not have enough time, what would be the best possible problem?
If you want to know a revelation about time, it is this. Everyone, it does not matter if you are a CEO of a listed company or the fellow sweeping the floor, has 24 hours a day.
If a CEO of a listed company has the ability to get so many things done within 24 hours, why can't you? Someone even said, the busiest person on earth actually has time to do everything.
It is all about time management.
Time is very valuable to all of us. It is even more valuable than money. Ask yourself this question. Would it be easier for you to give money or give time? If you need to save the time, you would not mind paying extra for time.
Since time is so valuable to everyone of us, what are the best ways to manage your time? Here are a few things you can do.
Do It Now Procrastination is the number one killer of success. You know you should do it, you know you need to do it but you keep putting it off. "I'll do it later".
When you need to write a 200-page report, you get yourself prepared like cleaning the table, getting a hot coffee, wear the most comfortable shirt, have the best working environment and finally said, "I'll do it tomorrow!".
Does that sound familiar to you? Why is this happening? It is because human being rarely think by logic. They are often driven by emotion.
The difference that makes the successful people to get so many things done is that, they choose to do it anyway. They do feel overwhelmed too but they choose to bring down the great wall and once they have done that, their motivation comes.
Plan Ahead Often when you do not have a plan, you will be driven by unnecessary tasks. This means you will be wasting a lot more time doing things that are not related to the final outcome you desire.
It is like building a house without having a floor plan. You can simply build a house without planning on how you want to have it built. If you do, the chances are you will find a lot of errors and eventually you will spend a lot more time correcting your mistakes.
It is the same in everything that you do in life. Before you start a business, before you market a product or even before you go for a holiday. If it is not planned, the chances are your journey can be adventurous yet time wasting.
Consequence of Not Having Time Management This works really well and this only happens to people who realize that they need more time and improvement. Some people just do not think they need more time.
What did it cost you in the past when you did not plan your time well? Maybe you kept putting an assignment off until the very last minute of the submission date. Maybe you could be thinking there is still a plenty of time left and you do not see the need of starting to work on the project yet.
As a result of it, you did not score in your assignment or your manager rejected the project you have done because it was not of the quality one.
When you know what it has cost you to lose, you will begin to use your time more effectively and eventually you will waste no time in everything that you do.
