Importance Of Time
Time Management is an art that not everyone possesses. It requires
a good amount of effort to learn and put this art into practice. Only a person
who recognizes the value of time can understand the need to manage it
efficiently. However, even as many people recognize the importance of time
sooner or later they aren’t able to manage their time properly. One of the main
reasons for this is the numerous sources of entertainment available these days.
With the growing use of mobile phones, internet connection and social media
platforms, staying focused and managing time efficiently has become a big
challenge.
Ways to Manage Time Efficiently
Here are a few ways that can help you manage your time
efficiently:
1.
Set Goals
Set small term as well as long term goals. These goals will serve
as a driving force for you. This will give you the zeal to work hard with
dedication and utilize all the time you have to achieve the goals. It is a good
idea to reward oneself at every achievement to achieve the next milestone with
all the more dedication and conviction. This helps in staying motivated.
2.
Prioritize Tasks
It is extremely important to prioritize your tasks in order to
manage your time efficiently. The important tasks must be accomplished first
and then you should move on to the less important ones. It is suggested to club
similar tasks and complete them in one go as this speed up the work. It is also
a good idea to complete the easier tasks first so that the beginning is smooth
and you stay motivated to accomplish more.
3.
Prepare To Do Lists
It is always good to prepare a daily to-do list at the beginning
of each day. This is yet another way to speed up the work. This will help you
figure out all that you require working on during the day and thus you can
manage your time accordingly. This way you will not even waste time thinking
about what to do next after completing each task. It also gives you a feeling
of accomplishment at the end of the day and thus acts as a good motivation
factor.
4.
Learn to Say No
Many people are not able to say no to the other people when asked
for help. Even when they have their own work pending, they go out of their way
to help the other person. This hampers their work. It is important to know what
your priority is and treat it like that. Always remember, you can truly do good
to other people when you are content with your life.
5.
Take Adequate Sleep
It is essential to take adequate sleep to make the most of the
rest of the time you have. If you toil hard until late night and again wake up
early in an attempt to spend more hours working, you will not be doing any
good. This will decrease your productivity rather than giving you more time to
work. You must make it a practice to sleep for 7-8 hours a night in order to
manage your time efficiently.
6.
Eat Healthy and Exercise Daily
It is also important to eat a healthy diet and take out at least
an hour each day to exercise. This helps in keeping one fit and energetic. Only
a person who is fit and active can manage his time efficiently. Having junk
food and leading a sedentary life will make you lethargic and you will not be
able to manage your time efficiently.
Conclusion
Thus, taking care of small details in our daily routine can help
in managing our time efficiently. It will take some effort initially however
soon it will become a way of life.
