MANAGING YOUR TIME EFFECTIVELY

 

Basically, time is perceived as an instance of something happening or being done; an occasion. In a day every human irrespective of your status or skin colour has 24 hours to execute his or her tasks/activities. Creating a disciplined life, producing a high quality work, reducing stress, being more successful, making better decisions etc are some of the benefits attached with managing your time effectively. In making good use of your time never procrastinate. Procrastination comes up when you decide to carry out urgent tasks at a later time sometimes to the last minute before the deadline. At all times you must be ready to perform your daily activities and pay maximum attention to the most important activities and do not wait till the deadline draws near before you start to undertake  the activity.

Also, organize/plan your day. After your morning prayers, plan your daily activities by prioritizing your daily activates. You can prepare a scale of preference for the activates. Say NO to the things that consume time or are unimportant. Again, be directed by a standard or principle of behaviour. This should be your judgement of what is important in life. This guides you to set sound priorities and make good use of your time. Values such as love and spiritual needs can be considered. Lastly, always balance work and recreation. All work and no play....... . Do not over stress yourself. Never deprive yourself rest. Depriving yourself sleep leads to errors and slows learning.
