Managing ourselves or Managing Time!!

We all put our best efforts to manage our time, but it continues to flow with complete disregard for our complex time management techniques. So shall we stop & give us in its control. & stop efforts? No – not at all…

Most of us refer it as managing time .But more than that it is about managing ourselves.
A small illustration, Andy ,a business professional, always having load of work took a step into … instead of looking for external ways to control his time, he began to focus internally on finding better ways to manage himself.

# Instead of spending the 15 minutes of his day chatting with his colleagues in the tea room, he picked up a coffee on the way to work and headed straight to his desk.
#Rather than spending the first hour of his day answering emails, he wrote down a list of the most important things he needed to achieve and immediately began working on the first task.
# He also closed down his Internet browser so that he would not be distracted by Facebook, Twitter, or the ebay auction he was watching.
#When printing his documents he realized he should check the print queue before walking across the office and standing around waiting for other people’s documents to be completed.
# He learnt the art of Saying”No” to unwanted work/ favors.
# He avoided delaying work to be done.

# He started putting reminders & notes..( don’t stop learning new technologies!!)

Surprised himself, he saw improvement his productivity simply by shifting his focus from managing time to managing himself. His new mantra became that he would:
Spend Quality Time at Work in Order to Spend Quantity Time at Home
A small new approach to managing himself – Time automatically got managed. Let’s try and better manage ourselves......
