Time Mangement

Time is finite. We have only so many hours available in a day to live our lives, accomplish the tasks that we need to accomplish, and enjoy our lives.
Every minute we waste in frustration over a task that seems overwhelming is a minute subtracted from the time we’ve allotted to enjoy life. Even our jobs should provide us with pleasures— a sense of accomplishment, the gratification of recognition for a job well done, and financial rewards, too—that enable us to enjoy our personal lives even more. It can be done. Less stress, more confidence, reduced frustration, greater fulfillment— these are all benefits that flow from leading a time-managed life.The value of time can be tell as follows:
  • To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed a grade.
  •  To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
  • To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
  • To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
  • To realize the value of one second, ask the person who just avoided a traffic accident.
  • To realize the value of one millisecond, ask the person who won an Olympic medal.
  • Time has a value greater than any currency. We may leave our children the money we don’t use in our own lifetimes, but we cannot leave them one millisecond of time.
