TIME MANAGEMENT



--- Soumya Das







What is time?



Time has no particular definition. St Augustine remarked long ago, ‘I know what time is until someone asks me.’ But we know time has existence. We experience it. Time is money as it is a limited and valuable resource, but it is more precious than money and cannot be stored in bank. Time is our lives. What could be more important to you than using this free gift of time effectively, generously and wisely?



Can we manage time?



To manage means to control. It comes from a Latin word Manus: a hand.



In modern use managing implies Efficiency and Effectiveness.





Develop a personal sense of time



A vital difference:



Once Ulwais (Persian name) the sufi was asked, “What has brought grace to you”?



He replied, “When I wake in the morning I feel like a man who is not sure he will live till evening”.



Said the questioner, “But doesn’t everyone know this”?



Ulwais said, “They certainly do. But not all of them feel it”.







Everyone knows that time is limited, but few are aware of the fact.





It’s not enough to be busy. The question is: “What are you busy about?”

--HENRY THOREAU



Make the best use of your best time



Everyone has a best time in the day which gives 80% high quality output.

Generally for complicated works with hand best time is afternoon.

Our alertness becomes highest at noon.

Our short-term memory is best in the morning-in fact 15% more efficient than other time.



Final word



Time manage should be fun. Keep it as simple as possible. The wonderful thing is that tomorrow’s 24 hours now await you – untouched and unwasted. You are now in a position to make more effective use of your time. Now you can feel that you have a lot time to do a lot.
