2. Background The ability to manage time is an often-overlooked skill, but a skill that is vital to achieving goals. In our day-today activities, we go through the process (consciously or subconsciously) of setting goals and identifying the relevant steps to achieve them, but only to be side tracked or distracted by the lack of time to achieve all the goals we have set for ourselves. For this we need to develop or enhance our skills and ability to successfully manage our time with respect to achieving our goals.

15. Goal Setting “If you are bored with life, if you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things, you don’t have enough goals.” First It restores a sense of focus in your world. The second reason that goal setting works is that it keeps you alert to opportunities. The third reason goal setting works is that clearly defined goals commit you to a course of action.

16. How to work more in few hours? Anticipate the requirements of the day and arrange for the same before the start of the day. Decide on priorities of the day – work & stick to them. Develop self motivation to convert “have to do things” into want to do things” Establish deadlines for work in realistic manner and adhere to them. Avoid tactfully the casual chatters, interruption in your work. Be decisive and not speculative when facts are clear. Avoid making commitments you would prefer not to make or meet and learn to say “No”. Be clear on what you want to accomplish during telephonic conversation lest you should fall into a long drawn talk resulting in waste of time. Develop attention listing to understand the things right the first time itself and avoid wasteful efforts. Cultivate the “Pencil & Paper Habit” to note down what things to do instead of scratching the memory. Do it now and avoid procrastination. Change postures of working to reduce fatigue. Look for simple methods and short cuts in accomplishing routine things. Use the spare time at your disposal to explore ideas of doing things better. Calculate the value of time to the job you do and you may realize you are doing some minor jobs which can be conveniently delegated. Set an example to others by being punctual. Follow only those techniques that help you.
