MANAGING TIME TO AVOID BEING IN A HURRY


Managing time requires some degree of discipline. It has nothing to do with being in a hurry. Hurrying portrays lack of control over yourself and the time you have to spend doing things. If you ever find yourself in a hurry, it is an indication that you have not done what you were suppose to do at the right time. Hurrying is trying to compensate for lost time and most times everything done in a hurry is usually messed up. One of the challenges you will encounter doing things in a hurry is that you will be under immense pressure, which will cause you to be tensed. Slow and steady they say wins the race. This is why you must begin to engage your thoughts, especially now on those things that you intend to achieve. You have to start doing something useful with your time now knowing that every seconds of it counts either to your advantage or disadvantage depending on what you are doing.
Do not be fooled with the illusion that you have all time in the world to yourself, because you do not. That cliché is a deception; and it will cost you if you buy into it. Use the time you have now while you can! Make hay while the sunshine! A stitch in time saves nine! Walk while you have the light! These are clichés to remind you that time is not to be wasted. It is better not to have time than to waste the available one that you have. There is nothing like being the one in control when embarking on any venture. It gives you confidence to act and generate within you the ability for maximum performance, knowing that you are in charge.
          Before you can effectively manage your talents, business, home, academics, you have to understand the concept of time management. The concept of time management is all about your understanding of what time is and how to use it to achieve your set goals within the limit you have. You cannot be good in what you do if you do not invest time into it. Do what you are supposed to do at the right time and do not hesitate to start now. There is no way you will not get things done and achieve your goals if you know how to respect and use time.
You are only some seconds away from achieving your goals, completing that project, finishing that task and most importantly getting started at all.
