How to manage your time

It costs more not to do the things than it would cost you to do them

According to Brain Tracy, if you like and respect yourself, manage
your time very well Because, time is your most precious resource

It's easier said than done but the more do it, the more you can do it

Because time's precious, irreplaceable and indispensable, you have to Save It

Learning how to say NO is an inertia that you must overcome if you
must manage time effectively

TIME MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENT
- Self discipline, self control, self mastery
- Design a work plan
- Design a sequence of ur event
- Have a sense of control
- be skillful in time usage
Invest ur time in achievement
- Invest it in your personal life
- have a long term view (makes to sacrifice in the short term)
- understand that your life, income and reward is a function of how
you use ur time
- be value driven
- understand that imperfect practice leads to perfection
And the return of good time management shall be happiness and success

As pointed above, planning (work plan) is very essential in good time management


- KEY PLANNING SKILLs
-Develop a TO DO (daily, monthly, yearly, etc). Oga JSM's tracker can
be very helpful here. Call him to order for it
-Do what you enjoy doing. This improves performance
Happiness comes when you believe in what you do
- Set your priorities
-Ask yourself this question- 'What will I do if I know that I have
just 6 months to live?'
- Set goals for yourself. Brian Tracy said that goal-setting will do
more to help u achieve what you want in life than will anything else
u've been exposed to
Ask why, what and how as u set ur goals
- have an expectation
- know what price to pay and pay it
- choose the right vehicles and
- avoid procrastination

Brian Tracy also exposed us to the time management quadrant
The Quadrant:
Top left (Act quickly)- Urgent + Important. Short term planning
Top right (Effective) - Important + Not Urgent. Usually for long term planning
Bottom left (Emergency)- Not Important + Urgent
Bottom Right(Waste of Time) - Not Important + Not Urgent. U can do it
once in blue moon. Good for those that count bottles.
For effective time management, you need to categorize your tasks into
the above quadrant

Finally, to maximize your To Do, your daily task should be categorized as:
A- Must do
B- Should do
C-Would like to but no consequence
D- Delegate
E- Eliminate
