Can we manage time???

I have come across many people who just feel that they do not have enough time. There are many reasons for wanting to have more time, you might want to make more money, spend more time with your family, have more time for recreation or develop your hobby. Many people think that the solution to this is to learn the art of time management, but I wonder how could we manage time if all of us get the equal amount of time. I mean, a day has just 24 hours and it is the same 24 hrs to everybody across the globe, so I then realized that it is not the art of managing time that we need to fulfill our needs, it is the art of managing ourselves and prioritizing the jobs in such a way that we can accommodate many tasks in a day or the specific 24 hr period. There were many instances when we discuss about managing ourselves against time, many people misinterpret this to sleeping less so that they get more time to do many other things which is not true because without having a proper sleep you end up taking a little longer than usual to do the same job. So, your focus should always be on how to be productive in the hours that you actually take out to work.By focusing on the productivity factor you will be productive not only in your professional but also personal life.

Many great leaders and successful people felt that postponing a particular task is one of the main reasons to failure. If you postpone a task to a later date without any strong opposing force, then you are just not able to manage yourself against time. We should try and divide the time that we have in a more efficient way so that we would not have to think about the reasons to postpone any task and every schedule is to be followed religiously. To me, managing ourselves against time is an art form and should be developed along with experiences and best practices, there is no hard & fast rule that one has to follow because everyone has a unique style of managing things & hence managing themselves against time. So, the next time when you her the word time management, you should simply understand that it's about you, managing yourself because time itself cannot be managed. Have a great time!!!
