Why to Improve Productivity using Time Management?
Today, the entire world is busy. To survive in this busy world, students need to manage their time well. Students should know that time is also one of the finite resources we have, like money and energy. Therefore, students have to learn how to manage it effectively. Time management is nothing but planning and controlling the time you are spending daily. Effective time management helps us to complete more in less time and effort. In addition, it also reduces our stress as we are able to finish the tasks that we wrote on our to-do list well before their deadlines.
Moreover, effective time management gives us a sense of achievement and satisfaction from fulfilling our goals. It also allows us to spend some time on our hobbies too. Good time management always allows students to make the most of their abilities and getting encouragement and satisfaction in accomplishing their goals.
Now I will tell you a small story of Benjamin Franklin, former president of the USA. When he was in the chair of the USA president, people started complaining that he is not working properly, even though he was consistently working for the people. He got fed up with all this and started observing himself. He started writing some lists of worthy tasks, essential tasks, less important tasks, avoidable tasks. Then he removes the tasks from the lists when he completed them.
He realized that he had been working on the less important tasks more than the worthy ones from his observation and from then, he started planning the tasks and managing each of them more effectively. From this, we can say that Planning is the Most Effective Weapon for Time Management.
