Controlling Time Management
Control is the power to manage. When we have control of our
lives and self, we have the ability to manage anything that
involves our self. Of course, no one has entire control over
anything, but we all have a degree of control over most things
that involve us.
We must remember that all things in life affect us in some sort
of way, and when we are strategizing a time management scheme,
we need to factor in all details of life. You might think that
time management is a quick process, but when you sit down and
start your calculations, you will soon learn that the process
takes time to complete.
Team effort is great, but if you are in time management alone
for yourself, then the road can be rockier. Now you know why man
came up with the idea of Stop, Yield and Go lights. Time
management has its own stop, go, and yield signs. In order to
start a time management plan you need to calculate and analyze
your plan carefully to weed out flaws, evaluating where your
time is spent. Once you start your calculations you will see
that time is an equal and subtract strategy. If you went to
school wondering why they taught math, you will soon learn why
since math is not only consisting of numbers, but it is
consisting of calculations that lead to success. In order to add
and subtract time, you must first calculate time with family,
friends, work, self, and so on. You must also calculate 'problem
areas' that may occur. For example, is your computer going to
work continuously without problems? NO! Therefore, you need to
calculate large and small disasters into the equation of time
management.
This is the beginning process of controlling time management,
but it is nowhere near the full details of completing the
process. The fact is there is no end to managing time as we all
have areas that need thorough research to bring us to the point
of perfection. When we calculate time management, we must
include details such as, entertainment, lounging, relaxing,
meals, dressing, and everything that makes us who we are. If you
are spending too much time in one area,
you can cut back time by
spending more time in important areas.
For example, if it takes you 45 minutes in the morning to get
motivated, it is most likely a result of procrastination and
lack of preparation. Now, to cut back time you will need to
think! Thinking is the process of bringing forth results either
negative or positively. Why is it taking me 45 minutes to get
dressed in the morning? Are you searching through your closet
trying to find a suit that works for your atmosphere? The
solution then is taking a few minutes each night to pick your
attire fore the next day, so that when you get up in the morning
you only need to dress.
The fact is, any person can get up in the morning, put on
make-up, clothes, and even style their hair in less than 45
minutes. Even models, actors, and actresses are limited to how
much time they spend on dressing. If you think about it, when
women go on stage for a beauty pageant, they are limited in how
much time they spend on getting ready for the show. The
producers or directors invested some of their time to make sure
that their time management scheme was running smoothly, by
controlling what their actors were doing with their time.
When I modeled lingerie, I had five minutes most time to do my
hair, make-up, and dress. Therefore, if you are spending 45
minutes dressing, there is no logical explanation needed, you
are slacking. Now we can subtract at least 30 minutes from
dressing and move forward to other areas in our life where our
time is either spent well, or wasted. What are you doing at
work? Are you standing around drinking a cup of coffee chatting
online, with a co-worker, or on the phone? If you are, you are
not only wasting company time, you are wasting your time. Time
management includes you. Unless you don't have a goal in mind,
this is not a controlling method in time management.
