 It is critical to improving productivity, especially since time is our most valuable resource. It is fixed, not discriminatory - equal for everyone - not affected by anyone, but most people complain about it. They "do not have enough", so they "run out" or they are "too busy" and can't do what they need to do at the available time.

Why do people complain about time? Author Dan Alili [ Regarding dishonesty, honesty, Loc 2079] tells us that people lie to themselves. We have a "rooted tendency to deceive ourselves and others." In addition, "...we are very good at pulling the wool through the eyes." Instead of accepting time is not a problem, but we lack plans and priorities, we blame time. According to Ariely, we feel good about ourselves, and we tell ourselves "why" our behavior is acceptable and sometimes admirable. "

Self-management time management

What can we do to overcome ourselves? First, we must accept that life is full of exciting and seductive distractions. The store owners know how easy it is to distract us. They use "sales", "free" merchandise ' indirect costs, and other gimmicks that draw our attention. At the same time, as social media addiction increases, mobile devices mean helping us manage our lives more effectively and control many people. To be sure, these disturbances can lead to time-consuming things that are not important.

Second, we must reject the concept of "time management." The concept of "time management" has existed for many years. Sadly, this word creates a false impression and helps us to transfer our ineffectiveness. We must accept that no one can manage time because time is fixed and uncontrollable. We can only control ourselves and what we do in the available time. We must have our own actions and transactions.

Mentioning "time management" is more suitable for self-management. Therefore, we must use the same skills to manage us, just as we use to manage others: from

Goal setting, planning, delegation, organization, guidance and control. from

  When we accept no more than 24 hours a day, we will not have time problems.

Let's take a look at some practical issues that work effectively in the available time.

Top ten self-management concepts

1. Develop a plan - control the cycle method to complete the task. Start with the goal, develop the steps to complete the goal, identify the control points to check how you work, and adjust as needed.
2. Learn to work for time or task. Sometimes you want to complete a project until you finish; for example, homework tomorrow. That is for the "task" work. However, when you use Facebook, Twitter, other social media and emails, set the time and stop when the time expires. I was working at that time.
3. Handling priorities.
4. Know when you are most productive and then do your top priority. The highest productivity of most people is about two hours after they wake up.
5. Do not multitask. Research has shown that multitasking is a suboptimal approach.
6. Get plenty of sleep and exercise. The amount we each need is very subjective, so find something that is useful to you. The reality is that you need to rest and recharge every day. In addition to seven to eight hours of sleep a day, I have been resting for 15 minutes every day for many years. I don't sleep; I close my eyes in good faith and focus on deep breathing.
7. Make your life out of balance. Set boundaries and execute them for your private life. Give each living area 100% at the right time. Your family is more important than your job, but at work, give 100%. At home, turn off your email and focus on your family. Don't seek balance, seek to divide your life, and focus 100% on each compartment as needed. Sometimes you have to make a choice to complete a basic project that requires a lot of time to invest in your work. Give these projects 100%.
8. Make a time list for a typical day and a typical weekend to show exactly how you spend the time available. Pay attention to your time wastage, plug them in, set time to use the target, and adjust your lifestyle accordingly.
9. Avoid unnecessary meetings This is the majority of meetings. Meet only the agenda, start and end times, and free areas of the phone.
10. Do a brain dump every day - write down what you plan to do occasionally; this is a list of items that you transfer your project to your daily timer.

Self-management means being responsible for behavioral change

We won't have more time, so let's stop persuading ourselves that the problem of "time management" is that we are too busy and need more time. Transforming your vocabulary from time management to self-management and understanding. While we deceive ourselves and humiliate time, the reality is that we must change our behavior and become more useful at the time available.
