BREAK IT !!
On this issue I aint gonna say am a saint. Infact am a victim with SWAGGS. (*smiles*) It's a general saying and a common language that "There is no time to check time".
Also it's a proven fact that this precious commodity ranks high on the scale ofSCARCITY with a slope tending to negative on the demand curve (*too much grammar? *winks*)… I don't think so.
Now let's be practical!
1. Are so many projects just lying fallow because of time inadequacy?
2. Work just piling up and has now become an Everest!
3. Have you now become a master degree holder in the school of procrastination?
5. Have your daily song now turned to "There is no time"?
The truth be told, if you are waiting for time; there will be no time. Tick Tock it slips by and sadly cannot be regained or magically conjured out of space. What then counts; ''Time Utilization''.
How well do you utilize your time?
Eccl 3:1- There is time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens.
Many a times the reason we have piled up works with limited time is because we do the right things at the wrong time.
You can actual
y be the manager and controller of your time;
These few tips should help.
- 1. Set Priorities: To be an effective time manager, you have to set priorities for everything you do. The Economists understands this better and call it SCALE OF PREFERENCE meaning list of items and things according to their order of relative importance. The principle is just that in your entire schedule, deal with the most important things first.
- 2. Plan: Just four letters but can alter the direction of an entire world. Do you just jump into action without planning? Most definitely you will end up doing more than is necessary or even not adequate. Jesus understood the power behind planning that's why he said "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you,saying, 'this person began to build and wasn't able to finish.' (Luke 14:28-30). Before you set out, take time to plan.
- 3. Organize: A priority set with good plan and then poor organization will definitely hit the rocks and then come begging for more time. Proper organization makes chunks and loads of duty easier and interesting to do. A simple trick I have learn over the years is what I call chewing bit by bit. The principle is when I have lots to do and it seems so clumsy and UN-inviting. I start bit by bit; in no time many bits equals the whole chunk. Try this!
Many procrastinate and end up not doing what they are meant to do because they are waiting for the perfect time to really get the Job done to perfection. There is always a permission to fail and it's been said that success is 99% failure!
Don't just lay idle waiting for the perfect time to get things done, start somewhere!!!
Gods Grace and Speed.
