There are exactly 24 hours in a day.
- 168 hours in a week.
- 8,736 hours in a year.
- No more, no less.
Time management is one essential skill every individual should develop. All activities carried out by individuals on daily basis are time bound.
Punctuality to our place of work, co-operate meeting, social events, conferences e.t.c. Is very essential.
One major problem generally, is that no one has control over time but if it's well managed, it will boost productivity in our daily activities.
I'm a big fan of punctuality and in this post I'm highlighting 5 reasons why i always keep to time.
1. It Portrays An Act Of Seriousness
I often receive comments from people on how they appreciate my attitude towards their events by arriving earlier than the appointed time for the program to commence.
I prefer to get to a venue for an appointment or any other even ten minutes earlier. This has been a habit that I've inculcated in myself.
This gives room for little relaxation and co-ordination of the mind (especially after a long drive and hectic road traffic) before the event begins.
2. Reliability
One of the major keys to effective inter-personal relationship with people is trust and one way to build trust is by making sure that when an appointment has been booked or when you have an agreement that is time bound, i make sure that i meet up with the deadline.
In most cases i meet up before the deadline.
My constant effort into making sure i meet up with the target time has been a major boost of trust between I and my colleagues.
3. Productivity
My productivity not only affects me but those around me. This is why i make sure that i maximize the time allocated to an activity without it eating into the time of the next activity on my schedule.
This is one way to boost productivity. Try to be on point. Don't be a time miser and don't waste time.
4. Co-ordination
Early this year, i came into the lecture hall twenty minutes late which was inevitable that day and it was a lecture on Trigonometry.
All the seats on the middle rows and front rows were occupied already and i had no choice than to pick a seat at the back row to sit.
Unfortunately, i forgot my spectacles which means i won't be able to see anything written on the white board. This made me disorganized and restless. I didn't pay attention to the lecturer even though i pretended to be.
At the end of the lecture, there was a test and i had no idea of what to write since i wasn't concentrating during the lecture.
Assuming i came on time, i would have picked a seat that would suit me, even without my spectacles i would get a seat with a reasonable distance from the white board and i would have given my best in the test.
5. Self Confidence
Developing self confidence means adopting good practices in thinking, speaking and behaving. Time management could be attributed to one's behavioral skill.
When i meet a deadline or keep to an agreement that is time bound. I feel reinforced by a sense of achievement by positive feedback from others.
