The modern timers have named Time as Money, I think it stands true to the fact that the more time you spend in your productivity the more money you are supposed to be making money, it's vice-versa and also interdependent till the extent you are talking of time spent in your company.

The modern world has given us so many opportunities and efficient machines to work on making our tasks easier and faster but we still keep nagging about less time in a day. WHY DON’T WE ALL BECOME AGGRESSIVE ABOUT MANAGING OUR TIME? Now that sounds like an out-of-the-box question but if you think in detail about it, you will know what I am talking about.

A person achieves success in life when he is passionate about it and the person truly gets what he deserves, only when there is aggressiveness in their temptations and they are willing to spend whatever hours just to achieve their goals in life, may it be personal or professional goals.

Time and Money are both ingredients of the same mixture of what we call business, as you have time, you have money, and as you have the money you have time. It's only the people who value their time can truly value the time of others.

Time Management and Self Discipline

Time management and self-discipline are closely related. Self-discipline is the ability to control one's actions and behaviors in order to achieve a goal or objective. In the context of time management, self-discipline is necessary in order to follow through on a plan and stick to a schedule.

For example, self-discipline is necessary to avoid procrastination and distractions, and to stay focused on the task at hand.

Different organizations have different strategies that will determine the money spent on the company’s expenses the same way a businessperson will develop a strategy that will determine how he will spend his time on selling his stuff.

Time is one of the most important priorities today, each business has a properly set budget to run their units and businessmen follow a particular budget for spending time.

Here I share with you some of the best things to do to save your valuable time and utilize it in a very productive manner:

Prioritize

The most important factor today is of time and even more important is giving it priority. Big organizations don’t work just simply by formulating different strategies; they have an organized time balanced plan in place to handle their vast resources.

It doesn’t get much difficult once you are used to managing and effectively prioritizing your tasks on a daily or monthly basis and as you move ahead, you will see managing your time is like a habit, you start identifying key decisions to be taken and the tasks that need to be completed faster than the rest.

Focus

Anyone can dedicate their time to doing some productive work but what is more important is doing your work with a focus, if you are focused on doing something then there are more chances of you being more successful.

Set your tasks each for a week or every month and follow them accordingly and focus on doing them. A lot of our time gets wasted throughout the day even without us knowing it like unwanted meetings, guests from abroad, committee meetings, etc.

These are some things that you cannot avoid but if you have focused on doing what little you could do, you can greatly improve the chances of completing your tasks right now.

Setting Aside the Time

Divide your time into productive and non-productive activities, have all your plans in place every week, and change them as needed each day. The most productive of your time gets utilized in varied activities like planning, organizing, calling meetings, developing new strategies, ideas, etc.

You can learn effective time management by a “do not disturb” board marking outside your office, prioritizing what tasks are needed earlier and calling weekly meetings.

Time has always been a crucial issue in this fast-paced world of machines, we humans act as machines and keep doing productive work till we have fuel filled in us and that fuel is our motivation, and zeal to proceed ahead in life, completing the targets, being passionate about our work, resources and company culture and the most important of all, “Giving importance to your own time and respecting the time of everyone around you”.

Managing your time is dealing with yourself, dealing with the company, dealing with your clients and yes it’s a LIFETIME DEAL!
