Time management enables us to know what to carry out at each time of the day. It helps us to know when to perform a task, when to rest, to take a nap and also to get back to work.

Knowing when to perform each task for a day definitely ensures order in our lifes. This way our duties are equally distributed in a way that ensures that we are not overly playing around/resting or performing to much work at a particular time. This ensures orderliness in carrying out our daily activities.

When taking mental notes of the activities I have to perform a day. I always ensure to place the most important and urgent ones first. That way the best part of my day when I am refreshed and recharged is spent on these ones so I don't end up procastinating them.

After the important ones are done, the other task for the day fall under. This is a safe and most advisable method to adopt.

Effective management of time helps to prevent a lot of passive attitude in work. It helps you get things done at the right time hence avoiding risk of last minute work under pressure. It helps to balance your work.

With due application of discipline, time management can aid in handling laziness, procastination and other slacking attitude to work.

Time managed well is time spent well but time spent slacking off is time lost meanwhile duties ignored are not lost but adds up leaving you with much work but little time.

I try to set a time table and stick to it and I can say that I have written lots of those right from my secondary school days. I followed them for some time and eventually ended up abandoning them.

This is because they were written based on a present motivation. What I didn't understand was that motivation and inspiration was not enough to maintain this new path. I needed something that could still drive me even when I felt less motivated.

That's where discipline comes to play. Applying discipline to time management is the best method I can proffer. It makes it clear what you are truly fighting against, yourself.

Thank you very much for taking time to read through.
