Do you wake up early?
Do you sleep early? Do you eat timely? Do you manage your time
perfectly? Well, don’t feel cramped when so many questions are put to you all
at a time. But be assured that managing your time without any stress can be
amazing with the following tips.
“Time is what we want most,
but what we use worst.”
------William Penn
1. Sleep early
What is your daily schedule? Isn’t it like this?
Just match the sketch
below with your own!
Clock:Alarm Clock Woman
Every day starts with a rush and you skip your breakfast.
You forget to take your most important documents. You gallop to catch a tube or
speedily drive your car .You curse the traffic .You throw a glance at your
watch and feel more stressed. And finally you enter your office with an alarmed
briskness. All these happened because you woke up late .And why did you wake up
late? Because you had slept late and your body did not allow you to drag on.
You switched off the creaking sound of the alarm and were asleep again. Then
you woke up and found that you were nowhere and you had to rush to your
workplace leaving all the other important schedules. Don’t you think to change
your plight? Just sleep early and feel
tight.
2. Wake up early
If you sleep early, it is sure you would wake up
early. You would also feel fresh to give a good start to your day. The fresh
cool air would leave you surcharged with zeal and vigor and you can complete
all your pending work in time. You can go for a morning walk which is the best
way to keep you fit and fine .
Then you can take your breakfast and feel geared up .You
must not skip your breakfast because that is the key to your bad health. If you
are obese, you might think to do so .But never do this because that would add
fuel to the flames. Your system would start working differently. Your body
would go to the starvation mode and the acids assisting your digestive system
can create a problem for you in the later stages of your life. You can fall a
prey to various diseases like gastric ulcers, colic pains, and stone in your
gallbladder.
“Take care of the minutes and the
hours will take care of themselves.”
---------Lord Chesterfield
3. Plan your daily
chores ahead
Note the important items on a paper and stick it to a place
which can be visible from your bed. After you get up from your bed, just throw
a cursory glance at the items and start doing them one by one. If you wish to
mark the most important ones, mark those items in red. The less important items
can be marked in green. Let me share an example. One of your friends met with
an accident. She is admitted in the hospital. It is urgent for you to visit
her. So you have to postpone your other activities and have to rush there to
boost her up. These are your moral and social bindings which can be exchanged
with activities the lesser important like shopping or relaxing with your
partner in a cool café.
4. List your monthly plans
Every month you have got various types of activities. For
example, the New Year can be started with social gatherings. February and March
can be dedicated to children. You can just shop and hop with them. April and
May can offer some additional fun to you with your partner but you might have
to pay the installment- bills too in these months. And June can be the month
for enjoying summer breaks. August can be the most suitable month for shopping
the accessories for your kitchen and September can be the month for your house
repair. October can be a month for travel and tours whereas November can be
spent in the preparation of Christmas. Last but not least, just say goodbye to
the year arranging Christmas parties. It is better to think ahead and plan so
that you can manage your time well.
“The bad news is time flies. The good news
is you’re the pilot.”
-------Michael Altshuler

5. Enjoy your weekly plans
Every week you have got some domestic and house-hold chores
like cleaning your garden or doing the laundry. Just make a list of the clothes
or furnishings to be washed .Clean the nursery of your children or clean the
cupboards of your partner .Then eat out with the whole family and get rid of
the boring healthy dishes you have to take every day.
6. Think of your yearly plans
Stay stress –free by putting aside the money for
your yearly plans. Have you thought of buying a new Ferrari this year? Come on.
You must save the money for that. Or have you got to switch over to some new
spacious apartment? Don’t worry. You can fulfill all your dreams if you plan
ahead and take loans
which can be paid within the time-limit. If you have decided
to visit your parents or friends who are settled in some other country, you can
take your time to arrange for that throughout the year and finally carry out
your plans.
“You may delay, but time will not.”
---------Benjamin Franklin
7. Set an alarm to fix your time limit
Practice doing your task within a set time limit. You should
be very fast to maintain the fixed period of time .Set an alarm and always keep
an eye to the clock .Practice regularly to perform within the time you have
been given. Are you a home-maker? If so, finish the preparation for your
cooking within fifteen minutes and then cook .The preparation can be done a day
ahead and can be kept in the fridge. This would facilitate your cooking. If you
are a writer, try to finish writing your article within the given deadline. If
you have got some business, never procrastinate .Without wasting any time, you
should hold the meetings and get in touch with your contacts.
8. Prioritize
Our life is like a rolling pin which runs smoothly on the
flat surface and produces different shapes from the dough. But if the surface
is not flat and smooth, the rolling pin stops working. In the same way, our
life stops rolling smoothly if there is some unprecedented situation .You might
have listed the things which need prior attention .But due to some untoward
incident, you might have to postpone that work which you have prioritized. Then
you have to adjust.
9. Organize
Be organized. You must not start doing something and switch
over to some other without completing the first one. Set your goal, collect the
required elements, start working and complete. If you are organized, you can
achieve your goal faster than others.
“To do two things at once is to do
neither.”
--------Publius Syrus
10. Get a review of your progress
Every week get a review of your progress. Take a marker –pen
and put a green circle on the items which have not been completed and include
them in the next week’s schedule. Try to increase the tempo of your work so
that the target can be achieved within time- limit. If you are unable to do all
the tasks, don’t feel shy to delegate them to your partner or friends because you can begin
by coming
together, you can progress by keeping together and you can succeed by working
together within the time-limit!!!
