TIME MANAGEMENT IMPORTANCE AND TIPS

"There is only 1 thing in Life, which God has given equal to everyone on this Earth, its TIME; whether he is Ratan Tata or an office clerk."
But what we make out of it distinguishes us from others. Discipline and Time management are closely linked. If we are disciplined enough to have a schedule for day-to-day activities, we can save a great deal of time and spend it with really important people in life like family and friends. Whenever I think of Time management, one best example which comes to my mind is "Mother."

Mother wakes up early in the morning around 6am. Does the household work, she prepares food so that children can take tiffin boxes to school and have healthy food. She wakes up children, gets their morning chores done like brushing, bathing, Ironing clothes, etc. Then she prepares breakfast for family and gets herself ready for office.
When she comes back, she manages children, family members and husband. In the evening she spends time on some creative things/ hobbies or sports, jogging, etc. On weekends she plans for family needs for the next week.

"Doing Big things once or twice is easy, but doing even small thing consistently is very difficult, which a mother does. She is great."

Some tricks/tips we can use to utilize Time better:
1. Keep a calander/planner to note down engagements/meetings.
2. Maintain a diary. Every day before going to sleep make a note of things done and things to be done on the next day.
3. Organize your data on Laptop/computer in a very structured manner. Ref: Organizing Your Files, Folders and Documents
4. Keep home tidy. We spend a lot of time searching for the items because of unorganized home.
5. Use technology if possible to help:
  -like Bike/Car helps a lot where public transport is not good.
  -Having a wall clock/Table clock/wrist watch always reminds us about time.

Hope reading this article will help you save some time and will bring joy and happiness in your life:-)
