Time management can be difficult when you have a lot onyour plate. But is it really possible to manage your time? TimeIs Like The Ocean Ifyou’re a seasoned sailor, you have to understand how the ocean works. You haveto understand the currents, be able to read the effect of the weather on theocean, and know how to use the wind to go in the direction you want. You can’tmake the ocean do your bidding. You have to work with the natural order. Inother words, you manage yourself inthe ocean. You don’t manage the ocean. If you ignore or break the natural laws,you could find yourself sinking, if not drowning. Timeoperates the same way. YouCan’t Manage Time Timehas a natural order. There are 24 hrs per day. Each hour has 60 minutes. Eachminute has 60 seconds. Once that time is gone, it’s gone. Youcan’t make more time. And you can’t manipulate time to do your bidding. Youhave to work with the time you have. So the truth is you can’t manage time, youcan only manage yourself in time . HowTo Manage Yourself In Time Oneway to manage yourself in time is to designate certain times for focusing onyour activities. You basically make appointments with yourself. For example, onthese 2 days I will work this certain activity. Or I will check my email onlyduring these hours or only two days a week. Whenit’s time for you appointment, strictly focus on those activity. Don’t letdistractions pull you attention away. This requires discipline. But it you don’tapply yourself, you could find yourself sinking, if not drowning, in the oceanof all your activities. TimeIs Time, Not Money Thereis a saying that says time equals money. But the truth is that time is time,money is money, and when it comes down to it, time is more valuable than money. Timeis a precious resource. You can always make more money, but you can’t make moretime. All you can do is use the time you have more effectively. All that money cando is help you leverage your time more effectively. Somanage yourself in time wisely.
