THE BEST ADVICE EVER GIVEN ON TIME MANAGEMENT


Charles M. Schwab, who transformed Bethlehem Steel Company into the largest indendent steel producer in the world in the world, once issued a challenge over the dinner table to a management consultant name Ivy Lee: “Show me a way to get more things done with my time and I’ll pay you any fee within reason.” Lee handed him a pad of blank paper.

“Each evening write down the things you have to do tomorrow, he said, “and number them in order of importance. First thing in the morning start working on item one and two…then the same with three…then four. Don’t be worried if you haven’t finished them all, if you can’t do it by this method you can’t do it by any other. Use this system every day.” Shortly afterwards Schwab sent Lee a cheque for $25, 000. He said later that it was the most profitable lesson he had ever learnt in his business career.

Hey! friends how do you manage your time? Do you plan ahead or do you do the things as they come your way? It is good that we need to plan our time ahead and if we do so we will save lot of time and will achieve many things within a short span of time. Let's try to plan our day, week and months ahead of time. If you do so you will see what you can achieve and how much time you will have in your hand.  

Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you don’t let other people spend it for you.
