Manage your time for Success

Time has different values in different cultures. It also has different values for different people. Some consider it to be money. But time is more valuable than money because it cannot be renewed. But time, like a river, is neutral. It flows where it will regardless of what people think about it. Regardless of different views, one thing is clear: it is precious. It is precious because it is a non-renewing, diminishing resource. When we use it well, we can create happy and productive lives.

For Success-oriented person, time is neither a friend nor an enemy. It is a resource.It is a master resource, because you use it to decide how to allocate other resources, like skill, effort and money. Using time well is ordering your actions and organizing your experiences. . These are based on first deciding what is important to you. When you know what you need and want then you can decide how to best go about getting it.

Your goal should be a blend of idealism and realism. It should be ideal because it forces you to reach to a new level. And it should be realistic because it allows you to access your current resources to get started on it. When you decide how to reach your goal, it becomes a plan. When you break the future into time frames, you can measure your progress as you proceed.

Time management is a success tool because it is a process of establishing order over chaos, intention over accident, and purpose over whims.In managing your time, you also have to take into account three influential variables: flexibility, mood, and bodily rhythms. You need to be flexible because things have a way of taking longer than expected. You need to be in the right mood because if you're angry, frustrated, or depressed you'll sabotage your plan before it has even unfolded.

And you need to remember that you are a time clock too. You work with your habits, your cycles, and your mental and physical rhythms. How you sleep, eat, exercise, or relate to others has a profound impact on how you manage your time.When you manage your time, you create specific steps for success. This is the real value of all theories of time management.
