Time Management

TIME MANAGEMENT

Time management is one of the most popular strategies we talk everyday and it is one of the most important concepts for professionals as well as academics. As academics we are in a phase where we can further more learn and develop our time management skills.

So the first lesson for us was an exercise where we were asked to fill a table regarding urgent, important, not urgent and not important daily plan of ourselves. My table was as following,

	URGENT	NOT URGENT
IMPORTANT	·         Finish BDT homework ·         Finish Selling Tantalize tickets	·         Get and appointment with COO ·         Finish drawing a logo
NOT IMPORTANT	·         Buy new pair of shoes ·         Buy a pen drive	·         Finish watch a TV series ·         Finish reading a novel

After doing this activity and after discussing about what each and everyone in class wrote for this i understood how easy life would be if we use this method. And also i understood how to fill this table properly after understanding the priorities for the day and what are the things that is not very important for me.

According to Mincici(2013), time management is understanding the value of time and use it for appropriate events which drives your daily life. This makes us think whether we actually know the value of the time. when we think of the time we just spend without doing anything, we are wasting a lot of time. So the first step of time management is accomplished if we understand that.

According to what i learnt in the class and according to Mincici(2013) the second step is to set your priorities as above which will lead to an organised calm life where dead lines are not a problem anymore.

Though so many people are lazy to start time management, once you start it you can continue it very easily and it is the best investment you can do to your academic life as well as the professional life.
