The 24-Hour Advantage: How to Make Time Work for You

Time lost can no longer be regained and I bet we all know how true that as. Growing up, I didn’t have to worry about time because all I did was eat, sleep and play around. It was when I started school that I started to know that time is actually of the essence. My mom would wake me up very early to prepare for school so she could drop me off before heading to work. When I returned from school, I knew that the first thing I was supposed to do was work on my homework, watch some cartoons , study later and prepare for my bedtime.  Slowly, I started to become time conscious and by the time i got to junior high school, I knew that time didn’t wait for me. Fast forward to today, I’m much older, living my life and trying to make something out of it. At my age, I feel like 24 hours is really not enough for me because the amount of stuff I have to do on the daily basis is a lot and at the end of the day, it feel like I’ve been working my whole life. To be honest, time seems to fly so fast recently and it seems someone is pushing the time. One minute you are waking up from bed and the next minute you’re ending the day and going back to bed again. With my schedule and how fast time flies, I make sure to put measures in place so I don’t end up wasting the day. The first thing I do is to have a daily schedule which helps track everything I do on the daily basis. With this, I’m able to know when I have to do something and when I’m supposed to switch to another.  Next, I make sure to do away with procrastination because procrastination is a thief of time. Doing away with procrastination means that I have to be more disciplined in my daily endeavours because discipline is key to being effective in your life. In a situation where I feel lazy, I make sure to work in bits and do my most difficult tasks first, this way I’m able to reduce pressure and work efficiently which would show positive results at the end of the day. Time management is of importance in the lives of us all as individuals and once we are able to manage our time efficiently, we are on the way to have a productive life. - - - all images belong to me. - - -
