Understanding the importance of Time management. Part 1

“Guard your spare moments well. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Time management refers to the tools and techniques for planning and scheduling time, with the intention to increase the effectiveness and the efficiency of personal and corporate time use. Management is the process of getting activities completed efficiently and effectively with and through people. Time is irreplaceable, only spend able

Time management is a subject of importance on every level of our existence, be it family, business or corporate establishment. One very important point to take into consideration is that time is equally allotted to everyone. The equal opportunity among everyone, rich and poor a like, is that we all get 24 hours in a day. Achieving your set goals, assignments or to-do-list within the allotted time is what is crucial to you and your purpose. Time management is all about investing your time wisely in activities that are relevant to your purpose and minimizing your liabilities.

Time is finite. Time is invisible. Hence managing time may very well be elusive to most people. Time is the one commodity that everyone has the same amount. Most people could make use of good time management skills, but the irony is that time management is not actually about managing time. What you need to manage are the activities that are consuming your time without meaningful results. Again it is not just an issue of accomplishing much within the fixed time but that which is accomplished is substantial and pertinent to your values, goals, purpose and your migration towards your destiny.

We must learn on a regular basis to have another look at our values, goals, projects, and tasks and prioritizing them. Time management is about self-discipline, focusing on what is most important, regularly reassessing our priorities, concentrating on whatever makes us a better person, appreciating time, using it wisely, and acting now.
