Hello beautiful people. After your discussion with Miss Emotional Intelligence, she will introduce you to her brother MR. TIME.
A no nonsense gentleman, yu see he will not wait for you, he keeps on going, he doesn't even have time to check time, immediately you meet him, you will realize that you have been tasked to achieve things in a timely fashion, you can't idly stand there and think you will meet him, he will be long gone before you realize it.
Say hello to *TIME MANAGEMENT.
One thing everybody must know about this young man is you have to arrange yourself, you can't do everything at everytime, like the saying goes, there is time for everything.
Let's look at TIME BLOCKING
This a very important technique you must cultivate, it teaches you how to allocate and attribute specific actions and activities with specific times.
We earlier identified and answered the question "Who are you?" and others, bow that you know, you should use that ledge to arrange your day. Put high value tasks at your peak active moments, do that demanding job when you have high energy and you will see it done faster and in an orderly fashion.
Watch movies and listen to music and cuddle during your downtime and low energy moments.
Just imagine yourself as a morning person (a lion) washing plates by 12 am. You will mess up your day. That may be the only thing you do day because you are supposed to be asleep by that time.
Listen, anything that puts money in your pocket should be allocated to your most active and energy positive time.
The next technique is called BATCHING
This is simply grouping activities that can be done together in the same place and at the same time which will not affect the quality outcome of either one.
An example is brushing and bathing. Others are cooking and washing plates go hand in hand, eating and seeing a movie goes hand in hand.
You cannot drive and watch movies or take care of a baby at the same time. You will have an accident. You cannot ride a bicycle and create a graphic design at the same time.
So learn to group similarly achievable activities. It will lead to time management and ultimately lead to efficiency.
Avoid multi-tasking that is not simultaneous by all means. So if your boss asks you to research and also plan an event, perfect, those two activities work hand in hand, while on the ride to make enquires, you are on Google feting ideas and finding things out.
Time well spent.
Find out what works best for you so that you can minimize using time for mundane tasks and maximize efficiency. It is all about meeting Mr. Productivity not just about being busy doing nothing and stressing yourself unnecessarily.
Imagine someone who is in this class, who is cooking, and at the same time, watching a movie and also ironing clothes. You will soon eat burnt food or probably burn your clothes.
Some people I know, if the deadline is 10am, they will start what they need to do 10 minutes to 10am and they know how to apologies ehn. When they beg you like this, you will even cry them.
Let me stop here before someone named yinka will use shoe to stone me.
