8 REASONS WHY YOU NEVER KEEP TO TIME

There are people who never keep to time no matter what they do and how they try to do it; they are late for every appointment, they finish tasks late and time just gets the better of them at all times.

Time management is an important aspect of our lives and if you want to achieve success at what you do, you ought to manage your time properly. Whether you a student, a career person, a business person or whatever you do, you need time management to be successful.

Before you learn how to save your time, you ought to know the reasons why you keep wasting time.

1. LACK OF PLAN

When you don’t have a plan of what you’re going to do, you could easily become confused and disorganised and these two would aid you waste time to the fullest.

2. YOU TRY TO DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE

People feel doing many things at once is a good way of saving time but that’s untrue. The brain is designed to perform a task at a time; multitasking can make you lose focus, make too many mistakes and leave you distracted. Trying to do everything at once is a trick that would only help you waste time.

3. SPEND TIME ON THE HARDER ONES

Back in school, a teacher advises students to start answering questions from the easier questions to the harder ones, and that’s a very good advice. You waste precious time when you try to do the harder tasks first, and at the end of the day, you might end up doing nothing.

4. UNNECESSARY BREAKS

It’s good to reward yourself with a little break while working — emphasis on little. The mistake many people make is taking too many and unnecessary breaks all in the name of resting. This would only help you waste time the more.

5. LACK OF FOCUS

Being distracted easily would only make you waste time unnecessarily. Your phone, social media, unnecessary chatter etc would only help you waste time.

6. PROCRASTINATION

Procrastination is probably time’s number one enemy. Later is the worst time to do something you can do now. Procrastination would only leave you with a huge pile of work and put you under undue pressure.

7. YOU DON’T GIVE YOUR BEST SHOT 

A lot of the times, people don’t put in their best efforts when doing a task. Lack of effort would only make the job harder, boring and you would probably waste more time on it especially if you have the attitude that signals you don’t like the task.

8. YOU NEVER ASK FOR HELP

Sometimes, people are too proud to ask for help. It’s not a crime to ask for help, asking for help doesn’t make you incapable; rather it would make you save time. When you don’t ask for help for something you can’t do or you can’t do quickly to beat time, you tend to waste time unnecessarily.

 

Remember, that you didn’t create time, but you can have the ability to manage your time. When time is your friend (that is when you manage time properly), you become more effective, but when time is against you, you become unproductive.
