It is an era of smart work, not hard work. A world where you seize opportunities and prioritize your goals to achieve success. But it is unattainable without effective time management.
WHAT IS TIME MANAGEMENT?
A process of scheduling and managing tasks within your time limit. Time management is compulsory in all aspects of life, personal or practical life.
We all heard Time Is Money, but it is not.
Time is the most precious thing in the world. Once it is lost, we will never retrieve it. So how can you think about wasting time?
TIME SPENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA
It is human nature if he takes something for guaranteed, he will never acknowledge its significance.
Instead of improving our productivity during our free time, what are we doing? Scrolling on social media.
It can be explained by the survey conducted to comprehend the high spending time on different apps in 2021 compared to 2020. It shows:
- Forty-eight percent increase in engagement on TikTok.
- Two percent yearly growth of audience on youtube.
- Ten hours of scrolling time increase per month on Instagram.
It does not mean you should work 24/7. When you manage your time, you plan everything.
- You know how much time you should spend with your family and friends.
- Time for your hobbies and other productive habits.
- Time for relaxation.
- Time for the workout.
FIVE ADVANTAGES OF ADEQUATE TIME MANAGEMENT
When you know the benefits of something, you are more likely to adopt it, whether it is a habit or routine.
- REASON FOR SUCCESS
Have you ever witnessed something familiar in all entrepreneurs and prosperous people?
It is they treasure their time and manage it effectively. These people have an exact idea about everything. They know at what time they will complete their task.
Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation, once said in his interview that he was scared of time because he could not buy it despite having million dollars.
Time helps you to differentiate between a pointless and meaningful ambition. You can make more reasonable judgments. It enhances your focus and ultimately helps you to achieve your aims successfully.
2. BOOST UP YOUR CONFIDENCE LEVEL
When do you feel confident?
In practical life, when you complete your work before the deadline. Or during student life, submission of assignments before time hits different.
All of this is possible because you know how to manage time. You know when I need to work continuously or when I can take short breaks during my work.
Submission of a project before the deadline gives us a feeling of accomplishment, which ultimately boost our confidence and efficacy.
Poor time management shatters your confidence, and you start doubting yourself. Instead of your hard work, you do not get the deserved appreciation. All because you do not value Time.
Why becoming a confident person is important?
Confident people stand out from the crowd; because of their persistence, hard work, and punctuality.
- INCREASE IN OPPORTUNITIES
Free time is a blessing; various ideas strike your mind during it. You think about:
- how to increase your performance in work
- How to increase your income
- How to develop a passive income source
- Methods to maintain your health.
You have time to take a risk and implement your new ideas. Rushing from one task to another never leaves time to ponder, and you will permanently be stuck in your tasks.
Opportunities are not created by increasing the workload on your to-do list. No. Think about your priorities, focus, and work on them more during your free time.
- BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Poor time management leads to zero personal life. No time for friends and family. It eventually leads to a family breakdown which leads to depression and anxiety.
No one wants it; that is why balance is important. Good time management helps you to separate your practical life and personal life.
It creates time for your relaxation from the boredom routine. You can go out to parties with friends and on a picnic with the family. A happy and successful life waits for you if you manage your time efficiently.
- HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY RATE
Your productivity increases when you are clear about your goals. You know how much time each project requires.
You can prioritize your work. It helps you to achieve greater and better results.
The quality of your work improves through effective time management.
When you are not rushing for a deadline, you will work harder on your project before submitting it. It ultimately increases your efficacious and productive rate.
HOW TO MANAGE YOUR TIME EFFECTIVELY?
Good time management is absolutely simple. Just follow these simple steps to manage your time efficiently.
- Make a to-do list at the start of the day.
- Prefer single task completion instead of multitasking.
- Prioritize your work.
