Time management is an increasingly important skill as it is often one of the cornerstones of success. Time management is all the more important because time is a very limited commodity that cannot be bought. Believe it or not, we always have some time in stock. To gain more time, step out of your comfort zone.
The perception of time begins to form at a young age, when the child’s daily rhythm is established.In doing so, the perception of sequences of time begins to develop, such as a day, a week, or a year. But more than the perception of sequences, an important factor is our attitude towards them. In fact, the day has 24 hours, a week of 7 days, and a year of 356 (or 366 days). Everyone has their own beliefs about how much can be done within a given time, and this attitude dictates your success.
Can we control time?
If you look at the people around you, you will notice that those who rush most often leave behind many unfinished tasks and, nevertheless, start new ones again and again. On the other hand, there are those people who feel that they are in no hurry but nevertheless succeed in completing projects within the set time. As a result, it is often difficult for managers to evaluate how much time a task will take. Employees who are constantly rushing often show a higher level of adrenaline and commitment than those who take things slowly.
We need people to listen to and act on our inner urges. But not always and not at all costs. Our intellect enables us to grow and develop while also deceiving us into lying to ourselves. This is also the case when we want to manage time successfully, and our internal clock often misleads us when we do not want it.
