Welcome once again, today we are going to discuss skills that every person is supposed to embrace.
The value of life actually is found in time, let me talk a little bit.
I once attended a garden and it was a birthday garden, we're celebrating somebody and the speaker was saying that you can see celebrating your birthday in two ways. You can see it as an add-up of age or a take-away of time.
To put in context if you are 32 years, you can just calculate it in two ways ,
“ wow, i was 31. now god has given me another year so i'm 32. you can also say that the 70 years i've taken 32 off, I have 38 left. what am i doing there 38 that is left ? ”
Two scenarios all together and how you are going to see your time and how you are going to work with your time will tell to a higher effect the impact you are going to make in your environment and in the world.
The first time skill i would like to give out is that
See time as a resource, a talent, or a gift that has been given to you.
So, if you are giving a particular time in a day the 24 hours. You are giving in every day, see it as a resource that has been given to you that you are going to render accounts with just like your manager or your partner has given you a certain amount of money to go to the market and buy a couple of things.
When you come back you're going to tell him/her,
“ Oh, hey i bought this and that”.
This is the change i have for you it's the same way you wake up every day knowing that 24 hours at your disposal the number of years you have is a resource that has been given to you and you would have to manage it.
That is the first thing i want to share to you to be conscious of that's every day, the time i have available to me is a resource that i'm going to account for. I would dare not waste or misplace one of it because at the end of the day i have to render accounts to it.
Number two Prioritize your activities
Brian Tracy will say that every minute spent in planning saves 10 minutes in execution. So, if you're able to sit down ; you wake up every morning and he even advised that before you go to bed every day, have your to-do list ready.
So, once you wake up. you have something to do at the beginning. You can still wake up every morning and prepare the list, the end goal is that every day prioritize your activities an your days. What you are going to do every day should be prioritized because it's going to tell how you are going to expand
I often sharing with people that if there is anything outside my daily activity or my daily schedule. I would have to intentionally make time for it, because once i wake up every day, i have prioritized my day and at every point in time, i know that there is something I have to be doing. That is one skill you will have to develop , prioritize your time.
Another thing i would like to talk about is –
Learn to delegate tasks that can be performed by other people.
so if you have something to do and you know this thing can be done by somebody especially if they can do it better than you can. Learn to delegate it delegate it and save some time.
Because the time you spend on executing that task, the person might use lesser time to do it and you might save that time to do other things. That will be of help.
So, learn to delegate tasks that you have people especially if you have subordinates or you're working with your team and you have team members that can work around it. learn to delegate such tasks.
Then number four, Don't attend unnecessary conversations.
Last point is communicating. You don't engage in conversations that don't lead anywhere, you don't attend events that don't add any value to your life. Remember, at the end of every 24 hours there is an account you have to render if only you see time as a resource.
