Why Cant I Get It Done On Time

This is one question millions of people over the globe ask themselves every now and then. Before today, I once asked this same question, but could not really answer it. It is not as if you are idle, but you simply may not know that there is a difference between work and productivity.
By analyzing the word “WHY”, many questions can be answered that will help you in time management. It is a word of reason, purpose, and intent.
Until you start to question the reason you do things, you will not be able to manage time. That you did not meet up with a deadline does not mean you were not working on it. You only failed to question yourself about the task before you got started.

Priorities can change depending on certain factors. Your plan is the picture that gives you an ideal of what you are aiming at, but the method of achieving may vary from time to time. Change may occur, but the “why” factor enables you to know what area to apply the change.
Before you start on the next activity, task or project, ask yourself why you want to do what you are about doing now. You will by this be able to know if the task should be done, and if the timing is right.

Doing the right time at the wrong time makes it absolutely wrong. So it is not just enough to do what is right, also consider if it is done at the right time. You will be able to accomplish any task, achieve any goal, if you learn to ask the WHY question.
Your task and your time are related as they compliment for one another. Your time has value, when you spend it on what is right at that instance. On the other hand, the value of your task is when it is done at the right time.
The regret you have for time misused, is that it was spent on things that were not profitable to you as at when you spent it.

Time can not be wasted, because it can not be preserved, replaced and replenished.
You are always doing something with your time. What matter is the relevance of what you are doing at the moment with you time.
The desire to make a difference begins with the ability to take the right decision on what to do. What you want to do is base on its relevance to you. All these will become simple if you will ask yourself WHY.
