Time Management

When you already have one fine car for your daily activity, will you still want another car? Will it be a family car or sports car?

I am sure everybody wants to have more on cars, houses, shoes, money, anything. Maybe it’s for fun, maybe to show who they are. Whatever the reason, it’s always feels great when you have something to be proud of.

But why is that not everybody want a second job? Are you too tired? Are you too busy? Maybe both, but you should understand that time is in your hand, everybody has the same 24 hours a day, but why is that somebody else can do more activities than you? For my opinion, it means that although you are busy, you are not productive.

Time management will be a good solution for you. Write down your daily tasks, write it in priorities. Do what is important first.

On a time management, you should differentiate “urgency” and “importance”. What is considers urgent doesn’t always mean it is important. I will give you an example. Your cell phone is ringing while you are driving home. Pick up the call sounds like urgency. But does it important? How about if it’s only a call from your neighbor for talking about newest gossips in the neighborhood?

What is consider as urgency or importance is on your own privacy. Nobody knows more than you. My point is that you should put priorities on your tasks. Or you will mislead yourself, you will do lots of tasks, but at the end of the day you find that nothing is achieved.

My goal of writing this issue is to tell you that it’s possible for everybody to have another jobs or businesses. The key is on time management and commitments. Maybe you will live in scheduled, but it is only temporarily.

Often happened people just do not want to leave their comfort zone. They don’t want to change their habits. People prefer have a “beauty sleep” in the afternoon than using that time to learn something new.

What you can do is all about a choice. You may say you can’t do it, you are not able to do it, don’t have enough time to do it. It’s all about choices, you can learn, you can make time, you can do anything you want if you put your mind into it. Like Nicky, “Just Do It.”
