One of the crucial things to understand is that how we spend our days is up to us. The team leader may ask us to complete a project by the end of the week. Complaining about the tight deadline with our colleagues all day is our decision. Instead, we could decide to begin work on the project and figure out how to allocate our time to complete the project on time.
Time management is also about deploying our assets in the right places. For instance, managing a sports team, like all management skills, is also about using the players in a way that ensures best performance. A good team manager does not ask the best defender to become an attacker. He puts the defender in the position that will benefit the team – in defence.
Similarly, good time management is not about leaving the latest class assignment until the night before it is due but starting as soon as the assignment is given. This will ensure we know what research is needed and how much time it will take to submit the best assignment possible.
Getting the job done for best results that benefit everyone is also a part of spirituality.
