Manage your time

Most of us would like to accomplish more than what we are able to in a day. How many times have you felt that it would be so much easier if you only had a few more extra hours in a day to complete the various tasks that you have on your plate? And how many times have you wished that you could do with a lesser¹ amount of stress and strain that your workload² is causing you?

　　The thing you need to know to overcome this feeling of being over laden³ with work all the time is to be able to manage your time better. And the most important thing to understand is that time management is not something that you can do as and when you feel that work is getting difficult to handle. It is a lifestyle that you need to adopt and practice each and every day of your life! It is a habit that will lead you to a life where you have peace of mind, better and more efficient work churn out and more time on your hands to do the things you enjoy.

　　　　There are many techniques that you can adopt to help you in managing your time better and get a kick-start in this process. And the best technique to start with is to learn how to focus on the job at hand. This can be done once you have prepared a list and prioritized the tasks that you have on hand. But once you have decided⁴ to take up a particular job, don’t let yourself get distracted on the way. Don’t allow thoughts on other projects to mingle⁵ and disturb your thought process. Ensure that you are determined⁶ to complete the job at hand before you allow your mind to take detours⁷ into other arenas⁸ awaiting attention. Avoid taking any kind of breaks while you are at that task and ensure that you complete it before you consider a cup of coffee or a call that you need to make.
