Time and Tide wait for no man” is a very millennial quote, but the relativeness and significance it withholds can never go out of context.
One of the many resolutions for the new year is taking real control of time because that determines the level of seriousness and responsibility you want to work on.
Success is a lot about an efficient time management habit that caters for growth that empowers.
A very common reason people give for not being able to attend the requirements is ‘having insufficient time’, but that isn’t valid enough. If you really want something, you will eventually make time for it. So, a lot depends is how serious you are about doing it.
When you start having control over time, everything starts falling into place effortlessly.
Let’s look at four ways in which you can take control on time and achieve more than ever this 2022.
Avoid procrastination
Delay in work is your greatest enemy. You are either going to do it or not. There’s nothing in between. The ten minutes of procrastination every day takes away the opportunity of getting involved in more activities. So, if it’s about showing up in the gym at six in the morning, ensure that you don’t turn off the alarm and extend it to 6:20. The attitude of ‘doing what is to be done at the specified time’ needs better execution.
Set goals for yourself
Wake up every morning and journal things you want to accomplish the entire day. It is very important to set realistic goals. Strive for them during the day, and reflect before going to sleep on things that you were able to achieve within the day. This step will help in staying aligned with current goals paving the way for endeavours.
Devote thirty minutes to yourself every day
When you don’t have enough time for yourself, you have no control over your own life. Taking out time every day to learn one new skill is a practice you need to swear by. No matter how hectic the day has been, these 30 minutes of self-love should boost enough enthusiasm for the next day. This does build control as no matter how many things pile up in the future; it wouldn’t come at the cost of your time to yourself.
Build speed
If you can do three things today, enable yourself to do four after a week and five after another. This is how you define growth. What you are doing today should be greater than what you did yesterday, and what you do tomorrow should be more than today’s work.
There’s ample time for everything that you want. The greatest trait of a disciplined life is practising efficient time management so that you have enough time for everything you have envisioned for yourself.
