There are 24 hours in a day, but it
appears as though some people manage to accomplish more than others. Why is
this? Some people associate high achievement with luck, but the reality is far
from it. The secret to being a high achiever is concentrating on the most
important things and allocating less time to the less important things. This is
easy to say because it will mean that we don’t have to do some things which we
consider important. This is where time management comes in as a tool for
achieving more within whatever time you have available.
Create a to-do-list
Have you ever woken up in the morning
but you have no idea of what you are supposed to do yet you have so many
deadlines. If you do not make a note of everything you need to do in a certain
day, you will not be able to effectively allocate time to each activity. Try
waking up every morning and writing all the activities you are meant to do.
Write them in whatever order at first and later you can order them according to
priority.
Delegate
Some people think that delegating has a
direct correlation with laziness. This is especially true if you work in a
management position where people expect you to work proportionately to how much
you earn. You might manage to do everything in your job description for a while
until you burn out and work becomes boring. Are there tasks in your to-do-list
that you can explain to someone else within a short time for them to do? These
are the tasks to delegate but bear in mind that you still have to keep checking
on the progress and assess the final outcome.
Make time for family
Family is the only institution from
which you will find true feedback and positive energy all the time. When you
wake up early in the morning to go to work or school and return late in the
evening when everyone is asleep you miss out on the chance to recharge your
mind with positivity for the next day. Depending on the requirements of your
schedule, create time early in the day or evening to just sit and laugh with
family members. You do not have to talk about anything in particular, even
sitting and watching a television program together makes great impact.
Every day is a new opportunity to aim at
greatness and it requires deliberate action to make it happen. Do not be in a
hurry to get through life but rather take your time to enjoy every moment that
life presents by being present.
