Planning is the key to success: Time management

I am back with another post but this time I am going to deal with 'Time management'. This has become an important aspect of everyones life in this hectic world. In order to cope up with the stiff competition and never ending desires of the human mind, it is really not possible to achieve your goals without planning and time management. There is a famous quote - " A work which is planned is half done". Thus we must make plans before performing any task in order to succeed in it. It is better than spending ten minutes in working out a plan rather than doing the whole work again.
Everyone would have tried to make plans and to follow them at some point of their life, but many would have failed miserably. Commitment is what a person needs in order to follow their plan. In the beginning, one or two plans may fail, but you should you be determined not to let your next one fail. It can be done in a pretty simple way.

1. Note down your goals. A written goal has more success rate based on psychological factors.
2. Prepare a to-do list and check it once you have do the job.
3. Fix a long term goal, write it in a big piece of paper and stick it in a prominent place in your living room so that it motivates you always.
4. Do not over-plan. Planning ahead of one week is not practical.
5. Dedicate yourself to the process.
6. Write a dairy to analyse yourself.

These simple steps can give a great boost to the quality of your life. You tend to become a tie conscious person and will make use of available time efficiently. Also, “A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow” - So ever delay your actions. Today is always better than tomorrow. So start planing and see the difference!
