5 Steps to Profitable Time Management
Take it or leave it, your time is as important as your life. It is too precious to be squandered. It is too important to be wasted. It is too sacred to be left to chance. It is even more fearful to learn that we shall account to the giver of life how we spend our time and life.
If time is this important,then, we must manage it well. How do we go about it?
Having a workable plan as elaborated in point 3 above begins with workable daily planning. Yes, you have set great and beautiful goals for your life, but, you need to break them down to something achievable on a yearly, monthly, weekly and of course daily basis. The success of your daily goals culminates in your overall success. Planning your day could be done by having a list of 'Things To do Today' (TTT). This sure will help you manage your time well as you will not have difficulty in knowing what next to do.
May God teach us to number our days, so we may apply our hearts to understanding. May we not just be counting our days, but make our days count. Remain blessed!

If time is this important,then, we must manage it well. How do we go about it?
1. Take time out to think through
You've got to identify and deal with whatever has enlisted you in the register of 'time wasters'. Decisively deal with the things that waste your time. Sometimes it will be very painful to do, but you just must do it to be free. Cutting down the number of hours spent in-front of television screen may be a right step in the right direction. How about priority setting, oversleeping and frivolous activities? You will need to do away with aimless surfing on the net, habitual idleness and procrastination.
2. Discover your purpose for living.
Without purpose, abuse is inevitable. The reason you do not manage your time well may not be far from the fact that you have not truly discovered your reason for existence. There is no greater day in your life than the day you discovered it. Are you wondering how to go about it? Find out here.
3. Have workable plans
When we were much younger, they used to tell us, "He who fails to plan is planning to fail". This is still very true today, and the earlier you come to accept it the better for you. Success is not an accidental thing; you will need to plan and prepare for it. This equally holds true for success in time management. As a matter of fact, the secret of successful time management lies in having workable plan. Workable plan begins with having workable goals. Workable goals comprise of goals that are SMAT - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, and of course, Time bound.
4. Plan your daily activities
5. Follow your plans
Having great plan is perhaps one of the easiest things to do. But, how many people actually follow their plan? Yet, therein lies the secret of the success they so much admire. If you want your story to be different, then you must be different by ensuring you follow your plan through to conclusion.
May God teach us to number our days, so we may apply our hearts to understanding. May we not just be counting our days, but make our days count. Remain blessed!
