TIME-MANAGEMENT


Time management is nothing but a good planning. We have 1440 minutes every day.
1. Develop a personal sense of time.
2. Plan your 1440 minutes of the day.
3. Work in organised manner.
4. Set dead lines.
5. Evaluate your performance.

How to do a work:
A. Important/Urgent - Do it now, do it well.
B. Important/Less urgent - Plan it in, spend quallity time.
C. Less important/Urgent - Do it quickly, dosen't require quallity.
D. Less important/Less urgent - Quallity time, do it later.

Total time a person living in a metropolitan city spends in daily task during a life span of 60 years:
Sleeping - 17.5 years (7 hours)
Eating - 2.5 years (1 hour)
Office/collage - 20 years (8 hours)
Wathing TV - 5 years (2 hours)
Daily routine &
other works - 5 years (2 hours)
Total time - 50 years (20 hours)

But by deducting some time from satarday and sunday, we get 3 years extra.
Means we have only 13 years to use as quallity time.
We have 4 hours in weekdays free and 12 hours in weekends free.
But by human nature we can not use these all hours for work. We want some time for movie, functions, for meeting freinds etc. on weekends.

Production free time:
(3 hours/day)x(5 days) = 15 hours/week
(5 hours/day)x(sat & sun) = 10 hours/week
Total time = 25 hours/week

“Nothing really belongs to us but time which even he has who has nothing else.” -Paul Gauguin

Parable Of The Pencil

Once upon a time, in India, there was a pencil maker who made the best pencils in the world.
After making a pencil he would take it aside & say, "There are 5 things you need to know before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."
"One:You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone's hand."
"Two:You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."
"Three:You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."
"Four:The most important part of you will always be what's inside."
"Five:On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condion, you must continue to write."
The pencil understood & promised to remember, & went out into the world with purpose in its heart.
Now, replace the pencil with yourself. Always remember 5 things & never forget, & you will become the best person you can be.
One:You will be able to do many things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand, & allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you posses.
Two:You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problem in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
Three:You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
Four:The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.
Five:On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.
