Time Management Positive Discipline
Time management schemes require us to focus on positive
discipline throughout the process of planning, acting, and
achieving. A positive approach to success is to understand that
today's society is based on responsibility, sharing
responsibility, as well as cooperation and the willingness to
progress. No solution is precise, but when we find what works
for us, and adhere to the basic rules, we are well on our way to
success and achieving our goals.
One of the major problems with our younger generation is that
when they grew up the focus of responsibility, motivation, and
survival was not stressed enough. In today's world women and
men, both have to work to survive, and many families struggle to
raise the children that are sitting at home on video games, or
watching television. Where is the responsibility?
Therefore, in order to understand effective time management
skills, we have to relearn what we may have not been taught.
Life is full of stressors and if we do not have positive
discipline to survive, we are often in more trouble than we
realize. Goals and plans is what make a person strive to
achieve, and if we do not have our goals and plans in
perspective, it is most likely we are going to tire out or fail.
To develop a sense of responsibility we must have the make-up
cultivated within us to survive. The traits to achieve a level
of responsibility are self-respect, compassion, respect, and
determination. When teachers and parents that are controlling
our lives and not offer us the ability to function in society
raise us, we are loosing respect, and building criticism,
neglect of responsibility, and negative thinking. Not all of us
were raised in a home where both parents worked and neglect of
teaching was happening, but for the many of us that were, we
know it is a struggle to manage time and reach success.
Positive discipline then is the process of admitting you are
human, equal to others, and make mistakes. When you make a
mistake with planning your time management scheme, do not get
discouraged, rather learn from your mistake and find a better
solution than the original plan. This is one form of positive
discipline. Another
idea is to avoid negative thinking of
criticizing yourself when your plans fail. Everyone at one time
failed with his or her plans, and sometimes it your fault, while
other times it is not. Be sure to analyze what occurred and
divert the plan so your time management scheme is flowing
smoothly again.
Think positive. "Wow, this was not a good idea, and I made a
mistake, but I know there is a solution to this problem." If you
think about this, you are accepting responsibility for the
mistake, but positively thinking that it is a step back in your
plan, and there is a solution to the problem. Most problems do
have solutions, but there comes a time when there are no
solutions available when plans fail. One example of a problem
area that we can evaluate and see there is a solution in one
direction, yet no solution in the other direction.
We can look carefully at this disaster and see that if we had
diverted a plan accordingly, this disaster would have not been
unfixable. Ok, you go to your office and fire up the computer.
Everything seems to be working fine. You begin to work through
your list of tasks, since you did take the time out to include
lists in your time management scheme. Suddenly, the computer
fails.
The screen starts flashing and all you see is DOS telling you a
fatal error have occurred Windows is outdated. Ok, now you are
in trouble, you failed to put backup data in your time
management scheme, and all the valuable information that
supports you company is on that computer. The worst thing
possible occurs. You take your computer to the Tech and he or
she tells you, you have to reformat the hard drive and we cannot
recover your data.
This is one example of a disaster that has no solution. All you
can do at this point is restore your computers hard drive, or
buy another computer. Your data is gone forever. Now if you had
included backup in your time management scheme, the solutions
available would have saved you time and big money.
