EFFICIENT PLANNING AND TIME
MANAGEMENT
Poor or no planning, and the inability to manage time, has
caused a lot of people to become depressed. Some people thought
that it is time-consuming to plan things out.
What they didn’t know is that going through daily activities
without direction and making rash decisions can cause undesirable
results, resulting to more time being wasted.
The planning phase is very important in organizing your thoughts
to carry out the desired effects. You might say that this is boring
stuff, but you should never underestimate this process. This
is like a guideline to steer you into the right direction.
Your plan will be your road map. Spend enough time to
ponder through the different approaches and choose the best one to
implement. It will be best if you choose a quiet place to make your
plan. Your mind can focus and think more clearly this
way.
Evaluate all the pros & cons. Assess how much time,
money, & other resources you have to impart or sacrifice in
order to fulfill your desires. Let your goal guide you to choose
the best plan to implement. Let the image of your visualization
inspire & motivate you to make a plan that will produce the
desired results.
Every individual has his own unique perception of a well-made
plan.
There are no specific rules in making it.
But in case you're in a tight
situation, let me give you 6 tips in Time
Management:
