Positions in Time Management
What are our positions in time management? Time management is
the process of planning to reach a goal, and finding a solution
that helps us to reach that goal. This article should be
relatively short, since the words above should be more than
obvious. YOU are the main position in time management. However,
we must consider all positions in time management to construct a
plan that works best for you.
Every one of us has a deadline to meet a specific task (s). Your
position then is to get those tasks finished, bring in you
one-step closer to your goal. If you are wasting time sifting
through papers, or daydreaming, you are wasting energy, money
and time that could be spent in your time management plan to
achieve your goal. After carefully study clutter, I estimated it
takes around 10-15 minutes to clean up the desk, while it takes
about 30 minutes to find papers that are important to achieving
goals.
Sloppiness is a sign of irresponsibility, and it only wastes
time, promotes negative thinking, and costs money. If you work
at a desk, and most of your tasks are handled on a computer,
then it takes a few minutes to backup your data and store it in
a safe place. It takes years to recover what you have not backed
up. In addition, if you are labeling your files accurately it
takes less time to find a file in demand, and takes longer to
find the file that was incorrectly labeled.
Are you spending quality time with your family, or is your time
idling? One hour of your time each day can save you money and
time. If you are not spending quality time with your family,
factor in the expense of divorce, heartaches, time, and other
elements when those days comes and deduct the loss in your time
management scheme. In some cases, you can calculate the expenses
of court costs when your children decide dad or mom is not
enough, and they need attention lacking so they get major
attention after committing a crime. Let reality sink in when you
are diverting a plan to manage your time, reaching your goal.
There are many positions in managing
time, but for the most part
your effort is the position that requires consistency. School is
important and a vital requirement to managing time, since it is
a resource to reaching goals. When you are at school your
position in this time management scheme is to DO your homework
on time and study accordingly. If you are daydreaming in class,
remember it is a dream toward a past that was never achieved to
reach the dream. If you are procrastinating, your position is
lost.
Procrastination is the process of intentionally and habitually
putting off responsibilities, and when we put off
responsibilities our position in achieving those goals is
sitting in a seat in someone else's pocket. In addition if you
are not studying to meet grades that are required in
achievement, then you are saying to yourself and everyone around
you that, "My position in life is to do what I can, and ignore
what I want to do."
The positions in planning to achieve a goal are requiring that
you act out your plans putting strong emphasis on laboring to
reach your goal. It requires the ability to manage your time
while staying organized. If you are waiting for your goals to
fall in your lap, remember your ship rolled in when you was out
in the middle of the ocean. It takes work, effort,
responsibility, motivation, and careful planning to save time
and make money to reach a goal. If you do not have all these
qualities then your position in life are to wait for someone
else to reach your goal while you sit back wondering what
happened.
Your position if well thought out in your time management scheme
can bring forth short-term rewards, such as motivation to
achieve, great self-esteem, self-confidence, and so on. Holding
your position in your time management scheme may even bring your
goal closer than expected if you apply the actions that are
needed in managing time.
