Track Where Your Time Goes!



He that rises late must trot all day.
Benjamin Franklin


Do you complain ‘I have no time’?   If so, you are lying! Isn’t it true that all of us have the same amount of time, irrespective of any social differences? So, it is not true that you do not have time. May be, you do not know where your time is going. Any valuable resource should be handled and invested carefully. Time is the most valuable of all the resources. You should know where and how you spend your time.

Do an exercise for the next ten days. Record all the activities that you do every 30 minutes from the time you get up till you go to sleep in a time logging sheet. Do this exercise very sincerely and honestly for ten days. You don’t have to show this to anyone.
At the end of ten days, study and critically evaluate, whether you spend your time intelligently or not. Identify unnecessary activities; those, which you could have postponed or you could have delegated; those on which you could have spent less time, etc. You will hit a treasure chest!

Do this logging from today!
