Lecture 4 - Time Management (Racing Againts Time)

Figure 1: Time Management

There is definitely a ticking clock back of every second whether you identified it or not. To get the head of the competition there is challenge, there is goal but always want it to be the best. Time is something precious for you and try to lean how to better everyday where you working your self or as a team heading towards to achieve a goal by overcoming every single challenge, at the end until you achieve the milestone. The idea you set a goal is soo high and the expectation is soo high and work hard much as you can by managing the time in your way and beat that. Its hard to tell this will happen at this point, the major thing is to focus and tune out the noise and give the priority to what you really want to do. The only way to do this is think proactively and achieving what you dream about and the outcome will be more brighter than you ever dreamt.

Learning from Class:

The lecture was mainly wrapped around Time Management. Lecturer specified steps and procedures to follow that involves in managing time in a productive way.

According lecture there are some factors that can be used to manage precious time productively.

*Give the priority to main tasks. This can be further effective if person can handle the difficult task in the morning.

*Usage of appropriate planing method such as a to do list, diary maintenance in order to handle daily activities that have to be performed.

*The ability to say no if you cannot handle the activity with your planned daily routing.

*If some one interrupt your daily routing ask the reason for the importance of new work that planning to assign you extra to your assigned tasks.

*Give more prioritize to tasks that matters more, important and agency required for completing it.

*All ways stick with the prioritize task order.

*Depending on the personal characteristics and ability tackle tasks  one at a time or multitask (working on more than one tasks at a time).

*Accept no unscheduled or less important work since you run out of available time for other prioritize work.

*Delegation of work where its possible within group bodies based on each bodies ability and capabilities which results in more time availability for important and related tasks that relating to you.

*Avoid much as interruption and noise that comes from the environment outer to you.

There is a theoretical formula that stated below that represent to measure peoples productive time.

Actual Productive Time = Total Productive Time / Total Time

When considering peoples physical and physiological aspect each person have their own Energy cycle that represent their energy level available during the day. Identifying your energy cycle patten helps to work on more broader and complex tasks more effectively as well as to find more accurate solutions and outcomes. This can be graphically represent by considering the fact that each persons most performable (active) time units during the day.    

As a class activity to be complete lecturer explained the way how to manage a time log for each person's daily activities that defines of Day, Time Period, Activity, Comment (Additional Information) as  well as Necessary, Appropriate and Efficient under Analysis of the activity.

Outcomes of the lecture:

Time cannot be controllable, since that have to utilize the time in efficient manner that productive to yourself as well as to others. There are various methods revolves such as planing and prioritizing the work to be done depending on the persons perspective and capabilities in order to manage the unstoppable time.

Persons Energy Cycle is a mechanism that used to identify each members productive time slots where they enable to focus more on critical tasks compare to the other time slots of the day.

Activity log is some thing alternative to the traditional diaries where the people can plan their daily work and evaluate on each task.

Reality of the lecture:

 

From this lecture I understood the better way of managing the time that will enable me to identify my Energy Cycle that would be help me to effectively use those highly efficient time slots for more critical and important tasks, where requires a high potential of mind power. In my opinion this time managing procedures involves many paper base activities where the same amount of work load possible me to handle by myself without any 3rd party activity. In my perspective I'm going to stick with my own way of managing time since there is only 21900 days to live if i live longer for my 80's. Since all component things in the world are changeable. They are not lasting. Work hard to gain your Nirvana.
