Time is one of the things that are equally given to us by God. We all have sixty minutes in one hour, 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. All of us have the power to use it in whatever way we want. But more often, we feel that there are people who are blessed with more time. Those people are the ones who know how to use their time wisely and intelligently. They are those who consider that time is priceless. They are those who think that time cannot be bought when it is gone. Want to be like those people? Follow the following tips:
Learn to prioritize. Know your activities for a week and think which things are more important for you. Those things must be your priority and you must do it first. Set other unnecessary activities in other schedule that you have. NEVER cancel any activity for other things that are not as important as the one that you will be cancelling.
Have a daily plan. Aside from prioritizing which activities are important, it is better if you have your daily plan and make sure to do it. For example, you plan to clean your swimming pool on a tuesday, you must do it on that day. Do the cleaning of your above pool liner, the water in the pool, pool pumps, chlorine filter and other things that is needed to be cleansed. DO NOT skip it just because you feel like you don't want to.
Go for the goal. Though it is one of the hardest things to accomplish, we must really have our goal. These goals will make your life easier and simpler. Goals also give direction to your life. Imagine a life without any goal to achieve. Isn't it worthless?
Be organized. Managing your time will be a lot easier when you know how to organize things. Have a place for each thing at home and you will not waste even a second in finding those. Looking for things in a cluttered room or desk will definitely waste your time. You can have a list on where those things are placed. Also, write down the things that you have to do in a day so you don't have to think where and when are you going next.
