Time Management – Today’s need

In today’s busy scheduled life nobody has extra time to do even their personal things.

Realize how much time you are losing everyday

I am not talking about office hours, I am not talking about laziness, I am not talking about getting up early or late. In fact I am talking about losing time in things which are out of your control.  The most common things where we cannot control losing time are:

• Waiting for the things like Bus, Doctor’s clinic etc
• Chatting on social networking sites
• Recreational walk
• Exercising
• Cooking
• Housework
• Shopping

All the above things and many other things seem to be out of our control. We cannot do anything about spending time in workout, chatting, cooking etc. However we can add some extra thing to the existing.

For example, if you are doing something that does not consumes your brain recourse that much, you can use the same time for doing one more thing. Yes, I am talking about multitasking, simple. Time can be use more productively.

Take s simple example, let’s say average.

• You do exercise and jogging 1 hour
• You spend 2 hours for going to office and coming from office
• You cook and clean for 1 hour
• You wait other little thing for half an hour
• You walk and shop for 2 hours

That makes it a total 6.30 hours lost every day if we are not doing time management.

The example I’m using above may seem like one that’s a little exaggerated, but it’s not. Travelling for two hours a daily is not something unusual for many people. Some people simply wake up and immediately sit in front of a computer, total commuting time of 15 seconds, but some people have to get in a car and drive for the office. If you don’t believe me grab a stopwatch and find out.

Here are some tips for Time Management:

1. You can read thousands of e-books while in metro
2. Checking mails and reply to them while you waiting for bus or train or whenever you are waiting for something.
3. Contact friends or relatives while you are taking walk or shopping,
4. Note down your thoughts or extra plans in your cell phone, which you do while traveling
5. Read some knowledgeable books.
6. Make your presentations points or meeting points in traveling.

Don’t overdo these things:

As we know we absolutely need some time for relaxation. Set aside a separate period for relaxation and chilling out. Feeling relaxed will boost in your productivity. Chilling out with friends , long drive with someone special, Candle light dinner all have its own happiness.

So all the Best !
