Time Management




THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL IN EACH AND EVERYONE'S LIFE - TIME MANAGEMENT!

Once upon a time, I took to PC gaming for stress busting purposes and started to play Warcraft, a very addictive game. Slowly I got addicted to gaming so much that one day I played the game for 5 hours flat! I realized too much time has been wasted on this and I could not complete some critical tasks. 

I felt awful about the wasted time which could not be brought back at any cost. I was pondering over my loss of not doing important tasks on time and delaying them until the last minute and completing them under tremendous pressure. 

I realized my mistake and wanted to spring back to my feet. I started my research on Time Management. I started practicing it and now I feel super productive and really great in my work and in my life.

After trying all the methods and testing them, I am presenting the same here in a nutshell:

First, I highly recommend my blog viewers to watch the following video:

https://youtu.be/SqGRnlXplx0



Soak this video into yourself! This is the most important lesson in time management!


Digression:
1. Put your most important tasks and priorities first and assign them the maximum time period first. Ex: Family, Goals and Ambitions, Relationships and so on.
2. Next come your second most important priorities, Ex: Your Car, Your Job and so on.
3. The sand in the video represents everything else. It should come later on and not before.
4. If you put your not-so-important things first, there would be no space for important ones and this causes misery!

How I achieved it (This requires a lot of self-discipline and control! )

1. Found out those tasks which eat away my time:
Deleted all PC games, Reduced my social media usage through a plugin in chrome: StayFocused, 
Maintained strict Whatsapp usage timing.
 60% of the problems are now solved.

2. The first thing in the morning, I make a list of tasks I need to complete that day and prioritize them according to their importance.

3. If the tasks are huge, break them into smaller pieces and complete them piecemeal!

4. Always make time for recreation and learning new skills.

5. I do write my diary daily and do recommend this to everyone! This will do the tracking of performance, give an opportunity for self-reflection and helps a lot in achieving set goals. As the year 2017 is starting, I recommend everyone to put down their new year resolutions in their personal diaries and maintain one.



These steps give a near 90% efficiency.
