How To Master Your Time: Proven Strategies For Peak Productivities
1. Introduction
Effective time management is crucial for success in personal and professional endeavours. It involves prioritising tasks, allocating resources efficiently, and making the most of the time available.
In our globalized world, people struggle with competing demands of life. At work, we need to manage bosses, colleagues, and subordinates. We strive for career advancements and recognition. We work long hours. At home, we want to be good parents.
We want to take care of our children’s well-being, education, and recreational needs. We aspire to be good partners or spouses. We want to devote time to our loved ones. We strive to keep in touch with our family members and friends.
At the same time, we want to enjoy our hobbies and entertainments, keep ourselves updated with the news and current affairs, and most importantly, not neglect rest and sleep. In doing so, we tend to multitask to rush through many things. While multitasking can help us save time, we end up making more mistakes. Multitasking is not a panacea for saving time. Far from it, it can end up being a killer of time and effectiveness. (Crenshaw, 2021)
