Time is a very special resource that one cannot store it or save it for a while. Everyone gets exactly the same amount of time each and every day. Hence, if one doesn’t use his time wisely, he can never get it back. Most people feel like they have too much to do and not enough time. Perhaps the greatest single problem that we all have today is ’time poverty’.
We all have too much to do in little time. Even most of us feel overwhelmed with more responsibilities and maximum activities. This sense of being on a never-ending treadmill can take man into the reactive mode of living. Hence, instead of clearly deciding what to do, we react about the happening around us. We lose all sense of control. We feel that our life is running us, rather than we running our lives. Time management, thus, can help us to use time that we do have in better ways.
We all know time and tide wait for none. Waiting for more free time is a loosing game that almost never results in getting time for what we want. That is why we have to stand back and take stock of ourselves and what we are doing. We have to stop the clock and do some serious thinking about what we want to do. We have to evaluate our activities in the light of what is really important to us. We must master our time rather than becoming a slave to the constant flow of events and demands on our time. Taking action without proper thinking is the cause of every failure. Our ability to think is the most valuable trait that we possess. If we improve the quality of our thinking, we improve the quality of our lives, sometimes immediately.
Time is our most precious resource. It is the most valuable thing we have. It is perishable, it is irreplaceable, and it cannot be saved. It can only be reallocated from activities of lower value to activities of higher value.
All work requires time. And time is absolutely essential for the important relationships in our life. The very act of taking a moment to think about our time before we spend it will begin to improve our personal time management immediately. Personal time management begins with us. It begins with our thinking through what is really important to us in life. And it only makes sense if you organize it around specific things that we want to accomplish. We need to set goals in proper time in our lives. Hence, we all, must get up, upgrade our skills, plan properly and work hard, we can be the winner.
