Lifestyle 1 - Time Management

Get the most out of your day, live life fully.

The great equality of life is that we have all been given 24 hours to achieve what we want with our lives. When we use time wisely, we get a feeling that we are maximizing all our opportunities. When we don’t use time well, we get loaded with work that we find we are unable to complete, and get stressed.

The key to good living starts with knowing what we want from life. Needless to say, it is not necessary that we will get what we want; but we would have got the satisfaction of deciding what we want and trying hard to get it.

When setting our goals, it is important that we consider our strengths, for it is easier to achieve goals that are naturally aligned to our birth, upbringing, social influences and education that constitute our dharma and svabhava.

The key to effective time management is addition of value. By action that adds value, we mean any action that takes us closer to our life goal.

For most of us, our goals are many, but our resources limited, so, we find that we have to balance our ambitions with our resources, which means sacrifice of either our life goal or sensible apportioning of our resource. One way is to allocate time and resources such that we get maximum value for the effort that we put in is by “Doing first things first; prioritizing”.
