Andy Warhol quoted this saying "They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." There is much wisdom in this saying. Time cannot be a solution to a problem. Many quotes concerning time imply that time is the end-all and be-all of things; but as this quote maintains, time changes nothing. Rather, we must make wise use of our time in order to change what needs to be changed.
"Take One Day at a Time."
How often do we hear people say "let's take it one day at a time"? You know, there's truth to these commonly used sayings. After all, we're only in this moment once, so we might as well live in this moment and enjoy it for what it's worth!
The younger generations feel that they have all the time in the world at their disposal, and that they are immortal. The parent looks forward to the time when their children are able to be more self-sufficient, and then regret that when that happens because time "goes by so fast." And the elder generations look at what precious little time they have left and do not wish to waste a moment.
"Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today." "Procrastination is the thief of time." These last two phrases go hand in hand. Time is one of the few commodities that you cannot get back once it is gone. You may find yourself rushing from one project to another. Or, procrastinating so much that you miss your important deadlines. Not having enough time to accomplish everything we want to will cause us to stress out, affect our health, eating habits and feel like we are always behind the eight ball.
You can create more time in your day by realistic scheduling. You need to learn to make decisions as to what falls where on the priority scale and manage the time to schedule the important items, and cut out or reduce the allotted time for the low priority items. I think if each individual sat down and looked at the events and schedule order of a typical day, they would see so many blocks that they could recapture the time they are wasting. Time is of the essence!
You can re-discover that time in your life and one of the simplest ways of doing so is through the use of free positive affirmations to target your time management skills. Take action, starting now, to live your life the way you deserve!
"He who would make serious use of his life must always act as though he had a long time to live, and must schedule his time as though he were about to die." - Emile Maximilien Paul Littre

Time management- is it possible to manage your time so that you have enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you want to do. You go to work, handle a myriad of details and then you have to come home and face the chores that might take you the better part of the night, only to go to bed and face the same thing the next day. One basic part of time management that many people forget in the hustle and bustle of daily life is to make time for yourself.
Making time for yourself is not only energizing and relaxing, it is also healthy. When you spend all your time working, you will find the effects manifesting itself as stress and illness. Look at your daily routine to find out if there are any areas where you are wasting time that would be better spent on more important tasks. Ask yourself if what you really think is important is as essential as you think it is. Quite often we spend a lot of time doing things a certain way that can be accomplished so much faster and easier by taking a different route.
Another aspect of time management is learning how to delegate tasks to others. This can free up a lot of your time and make someone else feel as if they can make a meaningful contribution. This applies to your home life as well as your work life. Something as simple as asking children to put their dirty clothes in the laundry basket or taking time to teach them how to make the beds can give you much more free time than you realize.
If you make a timetable for yourself, you will find that you can accomplish much more in a short period of time. When you set a goal for managing your time, you will be surprised at how easily the amount of stress you are under decreases.
