Time management best practices
This is a summary of a video I watched on Time management
Q. Why do people struggle with Time management?
-> The main reason is that, people do not prioritize their tasks and end up spending a lot of time on unimportant tasks.
Tip:
Divide the tasks into 4 categories:
- Urgent & Important (for ex. College exams)
- Not Urgent but Important (for ex. Workout)
- Urgent & not Important (for ex. Setting a time for watching movie with your friend today)
- Not Urgent or Important (for ex. Watching cricket match highlights)
Q. How to deal with procastination?
-> Remember this hindi quote:
"Kal kare so aaj, aaj kare so ab"
It means that if you have to do something by tomorrow but you can do it today or right now, do it.
-> Knowing where you're going wrong can help find solution more efficiently.
A basic question is that, why do people procastinate?
The main reason why people procastinate is that they feel the task very hard to do.
An effective solution for this would be to break down the task into smaller tasks.
Q. How to balance academics and development?
-> Make a routine
-> To handle multiple tasks, one needs to have their minds fresh.
-> Do activities like workout, walking or cooking, which will keep mind fresh.
-> Try reading books and make sure you get 8hrs of sleep.
