Time management : The key to unlock growth in all aspects of life
Time management can seem like a light years away from achievement in this fast paced world we live in.
But it can help lift you up from the grasps of low productivity , procrastination , stress and failure to achieve goals.
Time is a finite resource therefore learn how to use it to its full potential.
Increased productivity:
The most important thing is to prioritize specific tasks that need to be completed and then direct all your focus onto the completion of the task.
This way you are more likely to get important work out of the way meaning that work doesn’t pile up on your shoulders.
Furthermore, reduce the number of unnecessary tasks such as ignoring the urge to pull up your social media page to check up on the latest fashion trends which you had just checked on a minute ago.
This saves you time and energy which if put into one task at a time increases productivity.
You will end up noticing that you get the same amount of work done faster and with greater efficiency.
Not only this but you will feel satisfaction about the fact that you have spent your time wisely and on things that matter the most to you.
Procrastination :
Almost everyone has procrastinated somewhat in their lifetime, whether it be doing your homework at the back of the classroom when the teacher is collecting it in or putting the alarm on snooze so that you can snatch 5 minutes more in bed before rushing to work with your coffee in hand and your tie being half done.
Procrastination leads to a delay in completion of important and urgent tasks and a surge in unnecessary tasks.
It is important that you don’t let pending work lie in the dust on your worktop.
Instead make a list of all the things that need to be finished by a certain time and then without a delay crack on !
This saves time and makes you more disciplined and focused as you know exactly what you are doing and why.
At the end of the day you will feel that you have put your time to good use and have cut down on the time that is usually wasted.
Lowering Stress :
What can be worse than sitting on your desk at 3am in the night working through days of work and rubbing your eyes red because tomorrow your boss will want a lengthy summary on their next venture.
All this, while your whole street sleeps snoozing away.
Piling on days of work and then rushing to finish it all by the next sunrise is bad for your mental health causing high levels of stress and anxiety.
Make sure that you plan your day listing out all the work that needs to be done and by elimination of procrastination and low productivity.
Next time you know it, you will be in bed snoozing away with the dreams of a boss who loved your summary of their next venture.
This way you can live a stress free life knowing that you have done everything on time before its due in.
Achieving Goals:
Make sure that the goals that you aspire for are viable and achievable.
Many people make their aims the short term focus but in reality aims are a long term focuses and objectives are the short term steps that will help you get to your aims.
For example, an aim can be to become a multimillionaire but the first objective is to get a good education.
When you set objectives in your daily life you get a better understanding of how your future path towards you goal is shaping.
They are more likely achievable than not therefore giving you the confidence to move forwards with a positive outlook .
If objectives are for the long run then in the process you may lose the hunger and the will to achieve it as it seems far fetched.
Through this you only spend your precious time on achieving objectives that move you even closer to your aims rather than chasing long term aims without any plan in hand.
So in a nutshell time management will help you obtain your objectives and aims so that you can one day finally live your dream life.
