For those interested in MANAGING TIME.
===================================================
(.Read this loudly…write down as
a commitment! )
· I will set before me certain objectives to be achieved that
would help me in my life…career, family-life, community welfare, long-term objectives and short-term objectives.
· I will put my schedule in writing and remain focused on the objectives to be achieved…Continually
reviewing objectives, priorities and scheduled actions will help me keep on track.
· I will schedule on key events and actions paying more attention to scheduling early day actions. This
should set a pattern for the entire day. I shall group related items and actions wherever possible.
· I will take large blocks of times for important tasks …enough
time but not too much…shall build flexibility for unexpected events. .shall include .some thinking time for me every
day…try to make travel time and waiting time productive.
· I will try to match my work to my body cycles if feasible.
· I will learn to control unscheduled body impulses ...will not
chase rabbits!
· I will prepare tomorrow`s schedule today.
