In the second tip of my article "3 Tips that will help you in your reconciliation of work and family life", I told you about the importance of your time management and which are the thieves of time to avoid to improve your reconciliation.
In this article today I am going to talk about your Time Management in a broader way, going to the essence of its importance.
We already know that time is limited and unrecoverable. We also know that Donald Trump, Amancio Ortega, or a Prime Minister has the same hours a day as any mortal and yet they are capable of doing hundreds of things every day. What sets them apart from the rest?
Really, why do you want your time?
Have you ever stopped to think about what purpose you want to give your time? Yes, I know this is a difficult question to answer. A priori it comes to mind: living, being with the family, going to work to earn a salary… But that does not answer the question I asked you.
You should respond with what is the thing in this world that you are most passionate about, the one you crave the most. Until you answer this question, you won't really know what you want your time for.
Certain things about time
To procrastinate
Postponing does endless and tedious tasks. Don't fall for this self-sabotage. For a few minutes you will feel that you have "got rid", but in the long run you will feel bad for having procrastinated.
Parkinson's law
All work is prolonged indefinitely to occupy all the time available for its complete realization. Watch out!
Pareto Principle or 80/20 Rule
80% of our results come from 20% of our effort. Analyze what that 20% is and give it preference.
Be rigorous in your time management
- Make a written calendar in fractions of half an hour and capture what your daily life is like, one for the daily days and one for the weekends. It will seem incredible to you to see what you are really spending your time on. Redistribute your time in the way that seems ideal to you, and be very rigorous in its fulfillment. Analyze what else you can do to get closer to your goal, your passion. Although you can only dedicate 15 minutes a day, your self-esteem will rise when you see that even if it is little by little, you are getting closer to your passion and also fulfill your plans and objectives.
