TIME MANAGEMENT
Time is the only source that we have that confers different results with different finite jurisdiction and management. In the initial phases of our life, we are directed to do things and we really don't have to ponder over. The effective steps that we should adopt are that the output of the allocated time increases our need. But as we evolve and get more into demand, our need to have a dominating control over our time increases because it affects a lot of people under us. From here the concept of time management emerges in full swing. Time management is not a concept that can be trained or imitated, rather its s process that has to be initiated by you from the very day one. The skill of time management is natural and it is very necessary for a good manager to take it into action. The basic flaw with us is that we unknowingly sit all day through and doing wrong things at the right time, eventually causing us to complain by the end that there was scarcity of the endowed time. So the need to adopt an attitude that triggers to getting the goals executed within a limited time frame with maximum efficiency and productivity is what time management stands for.
There have been stories that have guided people to get more efficient just by managing the time well. Some of them are

| • | Jim Denney is a successful writer in California. In order to overcome the problems that he faced in being a freelancer, he adopted a series of time management tricks. He used them in business writing, proposal writing, getting the disagreeable tasks done etc His principles were to decide on what project you have to work, to withdraw from the work by taking small breaks so that you can rejuvenate your mental makeup and leave a gap. If noting makes sense, its better to write hogwash so that the flow is maintained and can later give birth to bigger and better ideas. One should have at least an outline before starting up with any article writing. There should be commitment and discipline during the writing time by avoiding distractions that can limit concentration. There should be constant revision of what one had written earlier so that the rhythm is maintained. There should be the solid belief that you can complete the task no matter how frustrating it becomes by the end. |
