Time Management by oladapps: 12:23pm On Jul 15, 2014 |
What is time? Time is a non renewable resource. Once it is gone, it is gone. You will never see this moment again. Every man has time, people and talent. So, how far you can maximize these resources, determines how successful you will be. Resources are things you have that can make you get what you want. It is not renewable because you can never regain it. THE VALUE OF TIME. If you had 86,400 dollars in your bank account to spend in a day, what would you do with it? Time is money!! Every seconds count. - spend every second in an efficient and productive way. - if you fail to use the day's deposit, the loss is yours. - no time waster can be successful. TO REALISE THE VALUE OF - ONE YEAR : ask the student who failed a grade. - ONE MONTH : ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. - ONE WEEK : ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. - ONE DAY : ask a daily wage laborer with kids to feed. - ONE HOUR : ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. - ONE MINUTE : ask the person who missed a train or a flight. - ONE SECOND : ask the person who just avoided an accident. - ONE MILLISECOND : ask a person who won a silver medal in the olympics. WHAT IS TIME MANAGEMENT? Time management is a misnomer. You cannot manage time, but you can manage the event in your life in relation to time.

How you use the time depends on skills learned through self analysis, planning, evaluation, and self control. Much like money, time is both valuable and limited and it must be protected, used wisely and budgeted. Benefits of time management.
