Time is an invaluable, but unfortunately not a renewable resource. Precious minutes go so fast, and how much more needs to be done. How often, summing up, we understand that we did not have time? The whole day passed in hustle and bustle, but the time wasted absolutely mediocre. Important things have not been completed, new projects have not begun, and there is not a minute left to live for yourself.
One of the most important skills of successful people is the ability to handle time. They magically manage to do in a day what the rest is not enough for a week. And what is most surprising, they manage not to rush anywhere and feel relaxed enough. Fortunately, they have as many hours in a day as we do. They just possess the basic skills of time management.
Effective time management can be learned. In order to forever forget about the lack of time, it is necessary to conduct a small investigation and understand what we spend it on.
Try to keep track of all your affairs within a week. Just record the start and end times of any activity. Try to write in sufficient detail to get a true picture of your day. So, the record "8.00-9.30: fees for work" will not be very informative. Write down how much time you spent on breakfast, how much on makeup, and how much on thinking about a suitable outfit. However, do not get carried away, do not record the time spent on each breath. Records can be kept in an ordinary notebook or with the help of special programs for a mobile phone.
At the end of the week, study the timing. Most likely you will see that a significant part of the time is eaten up by meaningless activities. Turning on the computer for five minutes turns into a two-hour looking at photos on social networks. A short cleaning stretches out all day thanks to the TV on. And regular lateness to work is closely connected with long thoughts at the closet.
The information received must be analyzed. To begin with, it is necessary to highlight the main groups of their affairs (housekeeping, children, study, beauty, work). See how much time it takes for each of them, and think about whether it suits you. Is it possible to build your day more wisely?
You spend only thirty minutes on morning training, but get up two hours before the alarm due to the habit of sleeping in the shower? Could it be better to spend this time in bed? Or do exercises?
Do you want to pay more attention to your favorite hobby? Think about how many hours a week you would like to give him. Having studied the timing of the week, you will see that you have this watch. It's just that they are being used unreasonably now.
Everything that you did not have enough time for before can be done with the help of such a simple investigation. Do not be too lazy to make a little effort and very soon your life will be filled with new colors!
