Henry David Thoreau said, “It is not enough to be busy. The question is what are you busy about.” Time management is about taking the finite amount of time we are given, and using it in the most productive way possible. We all have the same 24 hours in a day to accomplish our goals. Our life is a created out of what we choose to focus that time on, and what we give priority to.

Someone asked the Dali Lama how he reduced stress in his life.  One would think the answer would be esoteric, or so impossibly spiritual that regular folks wouldn’t be able to do it.  His answer (and I’m paraphrasing) is he leaves early for appointments so he doesn’t need to rush.

Have you noticed how so much of the feedback we get about ourselves in life is negative?

Think back to school progress reports.  Now, reflect on your job performance evaluations. How often did these assessments focus on what you were doing well, as opposed to where you needed to improve? If your experience is typical, feedback about your need for improvement far outweighed the feedback about what you did well.

Deluding ourselves results in procrastination. Procrastinators deny reality and refuse to accept responsibility in their lives. In order to conquer procrastination, we should put an end to playing games with our own selves. It is not possible to overcome procrastination without accepting that no one but you are responsible for everything happening in your life. This may require you to be more honest than most people can be but no other way is possible for you to enrich your life.

Calendar is one of the basic needs of our life. We can not even schedule a single event of our life without a looking into the calendar. Now the calendar is not only a device to identify the date but also can be used as a personal organizer. It helps us to organize our life and complete our tasks whether personal or official, on time.

Whenever a new year comes we start hunting for new calendars. Most of us first want to check out holidays and other important days like birthdays,...

Many of us feel frustrated in front of a white sheet of paper or the modern version of it, a blank screen, when faced with some writing assignment.

Usually people prefer to start from a certain point and customize their docs further rather than develop entirely new piece of work.
