How did it get so late so soon?It's night before it's afternoon.December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn .How did it get so late so soon?" Dr.Swiss

            
Time is slipping away like grains of sand.It is something we require the most and use worst.A ticking clock takes away the never to return ever lost time.Time is flying and we have no control over it. We feel helpless. Twenty four hours seems to be a shorter duration available to us .We wonder how some people are engaged in so many activities but still are available to do more and others are always with no time availability.The secret lies in Organizing their Time.

TIME MANAGEMENT  

It  refers to the process of organizing specific activities in a planned way so that maximum output can  achieved.This is what we call  increased Productivity.

It is exercising a conscious control over time spent on each activity and channelizing it in an efficient manner such that optimum utilization takes place and no wastage occur.
"Time is money"so we need to use it smartly isn't it.We are given an asset of 86400 seconds daily to be invested.Unfortunately,we tend to loose this asset and fail to realize it.Dividing our time to the available chores in such a way that "PRIORITY"tasks are worked out first and then the "less important ones "shall make all the Difference.All of us work hard but irrational wastage leaves us puzzled.So lets work out a Strategy to Manage our Time.
