Did you ever realize that most of you either will keep complaining that you have NO TIME and for you to realize the paradigm of this paradox, you will be the one who will plan vacations 4 months in advance from now on?
If you look back you will realize that there have been times when you have done similar tasks consuming strikingly different time frames. Don’t believe it? Let’s take some real examples. If some of you look back you will find that, at times you have worked on the project report for over 4 weeks and in other case you could complete it in 10 days. Now how was that possible then and why did it happen so?
Most of you must have heard about the Parkinson’s Law; “Work expands to fill up time allotted for its completion” what striking contrast you saw in your own capability is all because of this.
To improve things and to get things in hand, let’s look into 10 ways how you can make TIME work for you instead of you working FOR the Time.
a) Be specific in your tasks and allocation of work.
b) Learn structured system to address your future tasks and goals.
c) Learn ways to plan ahead.
d) Work on long term vision.
e) Keep time for contingencies. After all each day will not be the same.
f) Learn to respect other peoples time.
g) Punctuality is a virtue that goes long way and will work in YOUR favour.
h) While doing a task or while allotting work either ways try to make it time bound.
i) Learning ways to time box tasks can make a big difference.
