{{B}} EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT{{/B}}
All too often, work seems like to take over a disproportionate part of our lives,
with the result that we are not able to see our friends or families as often as
41 we would like and we have little time for relaxation. Although one of the
42 consequences of poor time management for many of us is that it tips over our
43 lives out of balance so that we don't pay enough attention to the things that
44 are really important to achieve them. But the paradox is that when work
45 dominates on the horizon to such an overwhelming extent, we are probably
46 being neither as efficient nor as effective at work as we could be with a
47 better organised lifestyle. If we constantly feel under the pressure and are
48 always rushing to meet deadlines, we should take up a look at the way we
49 are organising our work. We all have limits on the amount of time and within
50 which we can do a good job; it's more important to make use that time well than
51 to work more hours. There are various techniques, such as delegating to each
52 others and by reducing interruptions, that are commonly used for managing
time, and when we put these into practice, we will soon notice the difference.
