Today’s article is based on how to manage your time efficiently. Just as the state of matter changes into liquid, solid and gas due to increase and decrease in its temperature. Similarly, when our attention is distracted it seems as if time changes its form.
Simple and steady explanation of time:
Although, I have already explained the logic behind time i.e. the physics behind it in my previous article. If you want to understand the logical explanation of time, you can read my previous article: Click Here
So today, I will not explain the physics behind time to you. Rather I will come up with my own ideas, on what are the important ways to manage time and use it as much as possible without wasting it.
Every person has his own way of handling time, although it is not as easy as we think it is. This requires patience and consistency. Which most people do not have. Despite this, we can use our time properly by adopting some methods in our lives. So that, we can use it in the right direction and productively.
Not using your time properly i.e. being lazy towards your work or being too slow in your life. Takes you far behind. It takes you back so far that sometimes it seems, as if, time has passed very fast or we are unable to match the speed of time. Actually time does not pass quickly, it keeps moving at its own pace, but you wasted your time, destroyed it.
The best way to use your time efficiently is to make a proper timetable:
- One way to use time effectively is to divide it into smaller parts. Even the most difficult task, when we divide it into smaller parts and do it in short intervals, then less effort is required to complete any task and time is saved.
- Keeping your work in mind, make a timetable accordingly. You can allocate a specific time for a particular task. This can vary depending on how much time is needed for a particular task. Increase the time limit for difficult tasks and similarly decrease the time limit for less difficult tasks.
- When it comes to identifying difficult tasks and allocating time to those tasks, it should be your decision, without being influenced by the way others work. Because it is not necessary that the work which is difficult or easy for you will be difficult or easy for others too.
- Here by work I don’t only mean school work, office work, etc. Allocate time for every activity you do in a single day. This includes eating, bathing, playing, talking, studying etc. Once you start following it you will eventually realise that the time frame is quite large.
- When it comes to making the most of our time, we often don’t include activities that relax us or make us happy. For example, playing, watching reality shows and web series. Do whatever you want, but keep in mind to allocate minimum time for it so that balance is maintained.
What are the consequences of procrastination?
When we start procrastinating, we slowly begin to feel that time is passing faster than other days. Though time moves at its own pace, reality turns upside down for you. When you waste your time due to procrastination, it affects the deadline and shortens its duration.
As a result, it forces you to rush towards your work. Rushing towards work does not give you satisfactory results. Undesirable consequences produce feelings of regret.
In the end the feeling of regret will tell you that you have lost precious time and now you have nothing in your hand. So, promise yourself that you won’t procrastinate anymore.
Stop blaming time for your bad situation:
I have seen a common thought among people that they blame the time for bad situations.
Time has no family, no friends, then why would it favor anyone? It moves alone without any discrimination.
On what does a situation being good or bad depend?
We suffer because of our bad deeds. The life cycle is a combination of past life, present life and next life.
There will be many of you who will not believe this. Some people may feel that all this is just bookish talk or some people do not have any evidence to confirm it. But I believe that we reap what we sow. Whether that karma was done in the previous life or in this life.
There is no involvement of time in this. Time has nothing to do with your good or bad situation. It just gives you a chance to do karma. It is up to you whether you use it to do good karma or bad karma.
As I have mentioned above, “when our attention is distracted it seems as if time changes its form.”
Why I said this?
let’s understand with an example:
- If you are waiting for someone, then 2 hours of waiting becomes so long for you that it seems like 2 years have passed.
- On the other hand, you are a student and are in the examination hall, so 3 hours seem like 1 hour to you.
So did time change its form by increasing or decreasing its speed?
The answer is: no.
In the first case, your entire focus was on time. That is why you felt like time was passing slowly. In the second case your attention was divided in two directions. In short, your attention was not fully controlled in any one direction. So, it seems like time is going by so fast.
“My purpose in writing this article was to show you that. Time has enough range It completely depends on you whether you are using it in the right direction or not.”
“Stay happy, keep smiling!”
