Time management helps to achieve goals

There is a parable about Time.

Once upon a time there was a little boy. He ran, jumped and enjoyed his life. His Time was happy and always followed him. It was big, fat and rosy – there was a lot of it. The boy had enough Time for everything – for playing football with friends, for watching TV. The boy did not have problems with Time and Time did not have problems with the boy. When he grew up he got comrades, colleagues and so-called affairs. Each case required a little time. The boy cut from the Time little by little: to repair a car, to go out with a girl. It followed the boy smiling – he still had Time! Friends and colleagues came to the boy with their problems and concerns. And each of their problems required his Time. The boy did not want to kill Time, but other people helped to do this. Sometimes a neighbor visited the boy in the evening just to talk, sometimes a brother in law asked to join him on trip to the city because he needed somebody to accompany him. And then there were TV, telephone, computer and everything needed his attention. Sometimes the boy looked back at Time, which he cut, which other people tore to shreds and he did not say anything: it was shameful, it was frightful or it was inconvenient. Then the hour of Time's death came, the boy did not have it any more! One day his son came to him:

- Dad, let's go to the zoo or to the cinema!

- I'm sorry, son, I have no time!

His father called and asked:

- How are you, why don't you call?

- I'm sorry, Dad, I have no time.

Time is an invisible but irreplaceable resource.

Learn how to use it and then you will start managing your life.

A day is exactly 24 hours for everyone, we all are equal in this. People differ in the way they use this time.

Time management allows you to balance everything. Otherwise, you will do just urgent things and this will lead to imbalance and eventually to disaster. Do not let others waste your time. You have to be ruthless to those people who steal it, learn to say "no" to secondary things.

The key to successful time management is to do things on time. This is the only way you can achieve all your goals and you will have enough time for important things. Stay flexible because a taut bow may break but remember: you just need discipline to follow a schedule.

Learn to manage your time. If you allocate it carefully and live according to plan it does not mean that you become dogmatic. On the contrary, the proper organization enables you to achieve significant goals while enjoying free minutes. Good schedule frees up more time for rest. You include leisure time in a weekly plan, as well as other things that may seem urgent. You do not have to sacrifice anything.          

Develop discipline and stop wasting time on many urgent but not important things (for example, phone calls). Focus on what really matters for your life mission.

The mission implies finding time for self-development, building strong relationships, physical exercising, reading and deep reflection. Learn how to organize you work according to by the top priorities of your life. Effective time management allows you to be flexible, to do what you really want but not what you are forced to do.

Remember: you can use only the time you have right now, you have only this moment.

Things you are doing at the moment determine your future. If you will live every day and every hour of your life to the fullest then you will accumulate the valuable resource, which will work for you later. The Bible says: "Do not worry about tomorrow ... for tomorrow will bring its own worries."

Time spent on things that do not bring a large reward except the fleeting feeling of relaxation is lost forever. You need to rest but choose the most effective kinds of it and engage in productive work, which will gradually get you closer to perfection. Happiness comes along with activity but not inactivity.

Time you find for personal growth in a busy schedule will never be spent in vain. Some people believe that the morning hour they spend watching children playing in a nearby park or walking is lost. But in fact, if you pay attention to the simple joys and thereby bring balance into your life you spend the remaining hours more productively.

It is impossible to do good deeds if you do not feel well. When you are calm, relaxed and full of enthusiasm the efficiency of your work is higher, you think more dynamically and creatively. It is obvious, and yet we are constantly entangled in a web of seemingly urgent cases and cannot see the forest for the trees.

Learn how to manage time. There are 168 hours in a week. This is enough to achieve desired goals. Allocate your resources strictly.
