Time management is not a quality, but a lifestyle. A person who knows how to manage his or her time can achieve more than he desires. You see, we do not even realize how and where we waste our precious time. We only realize the time we have wasted when it’s gone, and our tasks are undone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many parents complain of their kids being unproductive, or even adults seek help in managing time for me. It has been quoted by Miles Davis,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTime is not the main thing, it is the only thing.\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever we accomplish in life, whatever we believe and do every day, all those things take time. It is not us, but the time that runs our lives. Now that you know time is what carries life, you already know how important it is to manage time.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1998, I was married and had one daughter. I was a housewife back then and would do all the household chores. I used to plan many things, but would not fulfill them and think to myself that I do not have enough time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once, I and my friend were having a cup of coffee, when I jokingly said, \u201c 24 hours are too little to accomplish all my tasks. There should be 36 hours in a day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She laughed and replied, \u201c It is not only you, the time is the same for everyone. The president of America or Prime-minister of India, all get the same 24 hours. It is on us how we make the most of those 24 hours. You first need to check where do you waste your time the most\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people waste time using the phone, watching television or talking to someone, and many more. I heard her, understood her point, but did not bother to implement it in my life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was in 2004 when I went for a spiritual training course, one of the people from the group asked, how should she manage her time. She was a working woman and had to manage family, work, house, and other chores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The coach there taught us a beautiful life lesson. He asked think that you have three rabbits and you need to catch them. Now, when you\u2019ll try to catch the first one, the second rabbit will run away when you\u2019ll try to catch the second one, the third one will escape, and you\u2019ll be wasting the entire day. You will end up being tired and unsuccessful.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, how can you fulfill this task? He suggested simple planning and management can help you catch all of them. He said if we could put some carrots, all the rabbits will come to eat them, and you\u2019ll get hold of three of them easily and quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The moral of the lesson is that planning, wisdom, and execution can change your perspective about not having enough time. If you pre-plan things, you\u2019ll execute your plan and get results quickly. However, if you start working without a plan, you\u2019ll end up getting late or missing a deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lesson was indeed useful, but I didn’t know where to execute it. In 2007, when I lost my husband, all the responsibilities were put on my shoulders. From managing home, raising my daughters, and taking care of our business, I had to manage all single-handedly. At that moment, I realized these are the three rabbits that I need to catch, and it is my planning and determination that can help me do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, when clients ask me why they are unable to get the results of their efforts even after working for so long on a project, I don’t get surprised. There\u2019s one common reason for all these complaints, and it is that most people today do not give their 100% to a task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, they\u2019ll watch TV while eating, reply to emails while working, take phone calls while cooking, and many such activities. When you do not perform one job with complete attention, it will take extra time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A very important tip that I apply to my life and give my clients is to give their 100% to every task. If you are at work, don’t think about the chores of the home. While you\u2019re home, stop stressing about your work deadline. When you start giving your 100% to each task, you\u2019ll take less than the required time to finish that task.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Effective Time Management?<\/b><\/h2>\n

In simple words, time management is the activity of organizing and planning your tasks. It is your way of managing your time. It determines how you divide your time between specific activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your time management is efficient, you\u2019ll see outstanding results. But, if your management is inadequate, results will not be seen. The main idea behind <\/span>effective time management<\/a> \u00a0is to \u201c Work smart and not hard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It is <\/span>time management skills that allow you to do more things in less time. Even when you have short deadlines, pressure, or tight schedules, you\u2019ll be able to accomplish tasks efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n
