Managing time is by far the most complex thing in managing our life. All of us have access to many valuable resources but nothing is more important than time. Its effective organization requires us to identify and develop our core strength. If we manage your time carefully and strategically, we achieve almost anything in life.
It’s true that one's, personal or professional, increases greatly with the optimum utilization of time.
Let us start with a few things that we all know are extremely important but still blame the shortage of time for not doing them. For instance; the world today is raving about health, fitness, diet foods, weight related diseases, and the like. But how many of us work out daily, do we watch what we eat, how regular are we when it comes to routine health check-ups, or make an effort to find time to meditate, practice one or two stress relieving exercises? Very few. Let's face it! We hardly make any appointments with our kids, spouses, parents, siblings and friends and hope to see them whenever it is convenient.
Sparing some time for the loved ones is not at all difficult. All we need to realize is the importance of planning a small get together and marking the date in the calendar.Not only will it be a constant reminder of the good times ahead but will also take half the stress out of our lifestyle. To do this, we need to train our minds to adopt this practice of planning things and develop it into a lifelong habit.
Give yourself time, and you’ll be able to do it. Once you’ve gotten into the mode of planning your day in advance, you’ll help yourself in more than one ways. Every morning you’ll have a comprehensive plan ready to implement and reach your goals.
In the following days I’ll share with you some simple tips and techniques that will help you manage your time wisely thus making you more productive.
I honestly believe that a sense of humor can make the difference between running the rat race and easing down the road.
Like appreciation, you can always find something to laugh at. We’ve always been told that 'Laughter is the best medicine’, but don’t you think there's something more to a good chuckle than just raising our spirits for a couple of minutes.
Let’s start with a very sensitive issue with most people today; WEIGHT! Did you know that a hearty giggle raises the heart rate and speeds up the metabolism? Have you heard the phrase 'my sides ache' after laughing too much? Well, then you shouldn’t be surprised. A good belly laugh exercises the diaphragm, and contracts the abdominal muscles along with working out the shoulders, therefore making you feel a lot more relaxed.
As a matter of fact, laughing 100 times is as good as spending 10 minutes on the rowing machine or 15 minutes on a stationary bike. So go ahead and laugh the extra calories off.
Laughter is as much about social relationships as it is about wittiness. If you can make people around you laugh out loud, you're likely to have a good circle of friends. People love to be with someone who can make them cheerful. Also, you're likely to improve your productivity at work. Better communication, a good sense of humor helps you to become a team player in no time because most things we laugh at aren't necessarily jokes, but comments in everyday conversation.
We know that everything is funny as long as it is happening to “someone else”; TRUE! But it is also very healthy to laugh often at your own self. It has many benefits. For example; if someone makes a stingy remark on you, your outfit, your views, or your work, make a joke out of it and be the first to laugh at it. It’ll not only disarm him/ her but will also save you from getting into an argument.
Life is too short and so is time. Stop worrying about every small thing in life and start enjoying every single moment bestowed upon you.
