We are in a age where by technology is tremendously growing each day.A lot of social networks have been introduced on internet, also we have cell phones companies introducing various services e.g chatting services for lower rates. And this seems to have trapped alot of young people especially teenagers. You find some spending hours in class chatting with far friends on the phone. Some of them watch TV 24 hours a day changing channel after channel, not only that some of them sleeping a lot is what they do. The funniest part is all of these young people they hope for the best to come!!..they hope that they will succeed whether in academics,or to reach their dreams....One answer for you NO! YOU WON'T!!..OOPPSSS!!..suprised uuhh?!!..let me explain to you why you won't if you stay the same way.
One of the things that life can't give you in abundance is "TIME", and if you are not able to fit in time then your life will always bring bad results, you will always be disappointed. One day i was reading on google as" WHY RICH PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS RICH?",i was shocked to find out that the real wealthy of rich people comes from DISCIPLINE OF TIME. They know how to manage their time and use it creatively and effectively. Amazing isn't it?!!..you also can do the same and turn around your life into fulfillment. If you waste your time today, you will regret it later when you had a chance to use it. Because time lost is never found, once is gone, is gone for good. Even God himself when he was creating the earth didn't just create it at once but he took his time,planned for it, managed it and used it creatively. If your creator can respect a sense of time why don't you start today?!..One thing you must know is that everything you want in future, anything is bounded within time, it's up to you to start getting serious about use of your time. So here are the pointers which will help you to use your time creatively.
1)MANAGE YOUR PRIORITIES
The best way to do this is to organize your life on a weekly basis. You can still adapt and prioritize on a daily basis, but the fundamental thrust is organizing the week. Organizing on a weekly basis provides much greater balance and context than daily planning. Most people think in terms of weeks. But most third-generation planning tools focus on daily planning. While they may help you prioritize your activities, they basically only help you organize crises and busywork. The key is not to prioritize what is on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities. And this can best be done in the context of the week
2)IDENTIFYING ROLES
Write down your key roles. If you haven't really given serious thought to the roles in your life, you can write down what immediately comes to mind. You have a role as individual, student, youth, son or daughter etc, you may list as many roles as you like. You may want to list a few roles in your education,dreams etc indicating different areas in which you wish to invest time and energy on a regular basis. You may have roles in church, mosque or community affairs.You don't need to worry about defining the roles in a way that you will live with for the rest of your life-just consider the week and write down the areas you see yourself spending time in during the next seven days
3)SELECT GOALS
The next step is to think of two or three important results you feel you should accomplish in each role during the next seven days, these would be recorded as goals. Ideally these are short term goals which would be tied to the long term goals you have identified in any area in your life whether is education,family, discussion group etc.
4) SCHEDULING
Now you can look at the week ahead with your goals in mind and schedule time to achieve them.
5) DAILY ADAPTING
Take few minutes each morning to review your schedule. This can put you in touch with the value-based decisions you as you organized the week as well as unanticipated factors that may have come up. As you overview the day, you can see that your roles and goals provide a natural prioritization that grows out of your innate sense of balance.
