ARMPD- Lecture No. 4 (Time Management)

TIME MANAGEMENT

Today's lecturer highlighted the importance of Time Management. 

It all started with the lecturer explaining to the student why they fail in managing their tasks daily. He explained us if we manage our time in our day to day activities we can expect more productive output at the end of the day. For us to Check our productivity levels he assigned us a simple class activity which should be completed by each individual by next lecture. 

The activity was to prepare a Energy Chart and a Energy Cycle of what we did during today from morning to evening. He showed us some of the sample activities done by the past students and gave us a idea of how to complete the task. 

To manage our time the lecturer explained us the importance of Prioritizing the activities, preparing To Do List based on the importance, Multitasking. These are few of the important things that we should implement in order to manage the time in a effective manner.

Today the lecturer gave us one of the main advises that will lighten up our future, he said

  "Use the time efficiently and  productively and do not waste it because the time which is wasted cannot be regained "

I thought about  the above advise he gave for a while and then i thought i would be using the time effectively in the future and will not waste it as i have done in certain stages in my life. this will be a major turning point in my life which will lead to a positive outcome.

Starting from today on wards i thought of maintaining a Time Table which can be used for effective time management. Also thought of calculating my daily  productivity level from the following formula so that i can continuously work on increasing the productivity in the future.

                        My daily productivity level =   the number of total hours worked      *100

                                                                                              2 4 hours

The lecturer assigned us another activity(2 nd activity) to be done at home. He told us to identify 5 short term and Long Term goals which we want to achieve in the future then he concluded the lecture for today.

Reflection For Today's Lecture

Time is one of the most important aspects in life. If the time is gone you cannot regained it. That was one of the biggest lessons i learned from today's lecture. I thought for my self that i will some how manage my time effectively specially when i am in APIIT premises and at home because as APIIT students we waste most of the time in those two locations mostly. Therefore it is important for us to concentrate more on our work and manage our time effectively without wasting. Preparing a Time table, prioritizing the tasks preparing To Do List  to manage time will be one of the main tasks i would focusing to achieve more productive outcome in the future.
