Today we will discuss a very important topic that is “importance of time and time management”.
My main motive behind this article is to make you realize the “importance of time and time management”,which many still don’t understand.
My article is specially for young people who are studying ,started working in offices and also for others who don’t understand the “importance of time management”.
Work ,responsibilities ,Future plans…….You need time management
We grow up to an age where we have a lot of responsibilities ,we have a lot of work to do in life , we have future plans etc..But my question is,can we manage to do all these things without time management. No ,the answer is simply a no.
We are not super heroes who can do all these things all together in seconds.We need to have a proper plan to manage our time for everything.
So here comes the “importance of time management” and the only solution to mange things.
I have seen many people complaining that they don’t have time to do things.They say that they are not able to take out time for other things.But what I think
Its not about taking out time , its about time management.
They lack a proper time management.
Some people are busy wasting their precious time and they really don’t understand the value of time for them so here I just want to use two famous quotes ..
Time and tide wait for no man.
Geoffrey ChaucerTime = life; therefore, waste your time and waste of your life, or master your time and master your life.
Alan Lakein
Time management
Best utilization of time with a proper schedule, strategy and plan to make things manageable on time.In my opinion time management is actually work management on time.
Importance of time management
As I said earlier time management is very important in life to manage things on time.A person who understand the importance of time is the one who knows the way to success.
For students it will help to manage studies & other activities and for office goings it will help in managing work and for those who are in mature age with family responsibilities time management for them is must.
So now we will discuss some of the advantages of time management.
Helps in setting priorities
When a person work with a time management plan ,he/she make a list of things with setting priorities.It is because when we don’t have any strategy to work with,we do a lot of things and some things are not so important and we waste time in that because we don’t understand what is more important.
Working with a time management plan make you realize which things are more important to you and you save a lot of time which you would have been wasting without a plan.
If you want to make good use of your time, you’ve got to know what’s most important and then give it all you’ve got.
Lee Iacocca
Work on time
When you have a proper plan of things to do with a schedule you actually make things on time if not exactly on time but at least close to what you have expected and which you would have never be able to do without a proper plan.
Improve efficiency
Yes it helps in improving efficiency.
efficiency= (output value/input value)*100
In context of work,Efficiency equals to the things you achieved out of things you have done.So obviously it will improve your efficiency.But when you don’t have any proper plan you do a lot of things and at the end you are not able to achieve any thing, So efficiency is very less.
Encourage
Working with a proper time management plan encourage you to do work on time. When you work with a proper work scheduling plan then it encourages you to work within the time period.It is always set in your mind that you have to do things on time.
Give confidence and satisfaction.
I must tell you that time management is not a game of kids ,it is very hard to work with a time management plan as it requires a lot of things. But when you catch a flow and do work on time it gives you a self confidence and satisfaction that you are doing everything on time.Those who work with a time management plan they can understand how it feels. I myself work with a plan and when I achieve things which I had planned ,gives me confidence and satisfaction.
Improves your management skill
It helps you in improving management skills because you actually manage a lot of things working with a plan.This helps you when you are working in a team in college ,office or any where.
Improves your ability to work faster
It really improves your ability to work faster as it is always in your mind that you have to work within planned time period.So it improves your ability to work faster.But if you don’t have any plan to work with you just get lazy and in that situation you do every work very slowly.
Give you quality results
When you work on one thing at a time it always gives you a quality results because it makes you focus on one thing only.When a work is done with full concentration and focus then results has to be good.
Brings discipline in life
Managing time plays a great role in bringing discipline in your life which is very important to achieve anything in life.
Your Opinion – Importance of time management
I hope from here you might have got an idea what was missing in your life and now you have some reasons to start with your own time management.
Now you can share your opinion on how you find the importance of time management in your life.

Hi Shorya,
Time management is very essential if one must achieve a meaningful result in his endeavors. Lets assume now that each time you waist 60 minutes of your time means wasting $60 of your money, I’m sure you will be more careful on how you spend your time.
Its really very important that we all be mindful of how we spend our time, i think the best thing is to always write down all the task we wish to accomplish on daily basis and then, note also the time we will need in order to accomplish them that way, we will always know when we’re wasting time unnecessarily.
Thanks for sharing..

HI Shorya
Great post and need of the hr!
This topic is really very interesting and could really pump the show. When I was in the job I use to be very methodical and therefore(I can say so) would adhere to time management, may be the fear of being out from the appraisals can be the reason for being very rigid about time management.
After I left the job, I started very poorly as far as the time management is concerned, but in between set my priorities right and was back on track but could not remain on schedule for very long and then started spending time on unproductive work more often.
I did tried many ways but it is still not working to the level expected and I’m a firm believer that if one is good in time management he is bound to succeed.
I’m trying to do the balancing act and let’s see how far it works for me.
Thanks for sharing this great info.

Important topic of discussion Shorya!
Yes indeed, we really can’t work efficiently if we don’t know how to manage our time, this is something I’ve learnt once I started working online.
You covered all the points very well in your post, and I agree with all of them. But what caught my eye the most was the fact that we all do tend to say we don’t have the time, whereas we all DO have ample time, but just need to find ways to manage it. And once you are able to do that, you are able to accomplish everything in time. I’ve been in the same boat, so I can well relate to that!
When we are working offline or have a regular job, we do find the time to go for work at a set time, and submit what’s required from us – in time. However, when we work online, whether it’s blogging, writing, or whatever we do, we tend to slacken or take it easy in many areas. Very few of us are really able to set a routine or proper schedule of working, just as you mentioned, which is very important. Once you do that, and take your online work as you would take your offline work – things start taking shape. I even have a few friends who dress up properly (just like they are going to their office), have a small room converted to an office within their house, and have their regular ‘office’ timings within their home. I guess that IS what works best, especially for those of us who aren’t able to manage our time well enough – isn’t it?
Yes, there is no hard and fast rule and you are your own boss when it comes to online work. However, things do take a back seat if you aren’t careful and they tend to keep piling up ‘for later’, which reduces your work efficiency a great deal.
Thanks for sharing, and for reminding us about time management.

Hi Harleena,
I am glad that you understand the importance of time management and my article helped you for reminding about your time management.
As i mentioned earlier in my post as we grow up responsbilities ,pressure ,work load also keep on growing so the best thing one can do is begin with a proper plan for managing time as soon as possible.
I have mentioned young people repeatdly because they have the best time to start at that age and that will definetly help them.

Hi Shorya
I used to be very good at time management. I started my career as an accountant working in a practice. We had time sheets and charged clients from them. I knew exactly how many chargeable hours I had to have each week and I always had more. There was no Social Media in fact there was no computers when I first started working.
So while technology and our lifestyle of working from home gives us more opportunities also we need more discipline.
I think prioritizing and knowing what is important to work on is key.
Great post Shorya and a very important topic.

Fast forward over a few careers to me working from home I do not find it so easy.

Hi Shorya,
When I was younger I took my time for granted but as I get older and busier I truly understand the value of my time and other people’s time as well. It takes some tweaking, but with enough work and focus, we can learn to make better use of our time.
Take Care.

Hi Justin,
It happened with me in my past some years that i wasted a alot of time but i am still young and i believe i have so much of time to utilize.
Yes in the beginning everyone find difficulties as i said working with a time management plan is very difficult. But if one continue following it as much as possible till he/she catches the flow.
And after that it is very easy to follow as the person has habit to work with plan.
Thank You

Hi Shorya,
I really believe the time management is for people who really value their time mate
Folks don’t care about their time never look into the subject of time management until they find how useful it is. Me neither at first place when I used to study 
Well, no point of worrying about time that has gone but it’s about time we gonna spend, right?
I’m not much familiar with working on time mate
Ha ha… I mean I don’t wake up 6 am everyday but my plan goes through for certain amount of time (Around 18 hours a day). It’s just because I have no rules here as I’m home but I’ve imposed my own to be disciplined and productive whenever I work.
Very true – It gives confidence and satisfaction. But one thing is we need to be realistic else we might never find it improves our management skills nor getting better results though we work faster.
You have said it’s especially for younger people but I’d say it’s even for anyone who knows about time and even they follow time management strategies already
Cheers…

Hi Mayura ,
Thanks for sharing your views over the topic.
I myself at my early ages or can say at my teenage was like that who never thought about the importance of time and time management.But slowly slowly i understood that time is everything.
So started utilizing it.
I myself made a deal to that when you are at work you ill think about work ,you will do work ,you plan work nothing else i entertain in between my work and really helped me alot.
Mayura i used specially for younger because they have the best time to make a habit of making a time management plan because they dont have much resposiblities.So when they will come to age where responsibilies are too much they will find it easy to manage it.
Thank You

Hi Shorya,
Great insights and time management tips! Thank you for sharing!
You are right about working on one thing at a time. It is the planned action and focus that give us the full concentration. The good results is the ‘fruit’ of what we planted (with faith).
I found organising tasks in time slot helps. For example, doing blog commenting at 9 am in the morning. Another example is to bundle all the prospecting calls together at 10am. Team support calls can be pre-planned. Organisation is the key. The good news is, it is a skill that can be learned and developed
Keep up the good work, Shorya!
