Understanding the Value of Time Management
Time
management should be one of the qualities that you should take very seriously
if you are looking at your personal development. It is rightly said that a person who does not
respect time does not respect his or her own self.
How
would one define time management actually? Is it about making a timetable and abiding by
it? Or is it about allotting a specific
time to do your daily tasks? Or is it
about separating time for work, play, food and everything else that a human
needs to do?
If
you put it simply, time management is all about scheduling your tasks in any
way that ensures their accomplishment. It does not matter how much time you
allot to your tasks; the main thing is that you should be able to accomplish
everything that you take up. There
should be no wastefulness of time. Even
entertainment and recreation—two very important human necessities—should be
accounted for. When a person masters the art of doing that, they can be called
as good time managers.
Another
important quality that people must have that dovetails with time management is prioritization.
We take up various tasks, and we already have so many different things to do
throughout the day. However, our time resources are limited. That is why
prioritization becomes important. This ensures that we accomplish the most
important tasks first. Which are the more important tasks? The tasks on which
the fulfillment of other tasks are related—those are the ones that need to be
prioritized. When you learn to
prioritize, you automatically manage your time in a better way.
So,
whether you are a housewife or you are the president of a country, it is quite
essential that you learn to value time. Time is a finite resource that we
have—it is our utmost responsibility to make the most of every second that we
have and use it fruitfully for some kind of advancement, either our own or of
the people and things we care for and love.
