How to construct a time-managing system? In the world where those students (college, senior high or junior high students or even pupils) who know how to manage their time are enjoying the great efficiency brought along by their schedule while those who don’t are suffering the pains as well as pressure of bad grades, homework due every day and other kinds of stress, it’s very important to know how to construct your own time-managing system.

2. Set Realistic Expectations. Most people fail at managing time because they try to do too much within a given period of time. This can be avoided by having a clear idea as to how much time is really available after considering routine tasks and scheduled activities, estimating how much time each task on a prioritized “To-Do” list will take, and, therefore, having an accurate expectation of how much can actually be achieved in a day.

3. Reduce Time Wastage. Wasted time cannot be recovered. Relaxing is good in general, as it helps restore energy and eliminate fatigue. Too much of relaxation is not good. Idling, either deliberately or inadvertently, when there is work to be done is worse. There are many occasions in life where waiting is forced upon us – queues in post offices, banks, shops, or airports; visits to the doctor or the dentist; appointments wherein the other party is late. Unused wait time not only wastes time, it is a major contributor to stress and anxiety. Time wastage can be reduced by limiting relaxation and filling wait time with useful work. Many people are victims of the “Time Pendulum”. At one extreme of the swing, they are constantly pressed for time to get things done. They juggle several tasks, they lose sleep to make up for lost time, and complete tasks in the nick of time. At the other end, they sometimes have time on their hands while waiting for things to do or for something to be done. They bide their time, take their own sweet time on some tasks, or even kill time. The solution to the “Time Pendulum” is the ability to regulate the flow of time. It is like using a dam to control the flow of a river. Limiting relaxation and filling wait time also leads to regulation of time flow.

4. Improve Personal Efficiency. There are two “Laws” which contribute to inefficiency. The first is Parkinson’s Law (Work expands to fill the time allotted to it) and the second is Murphy’s Law (If something can go wrong, it will – at the most inopportune time, and where it can do most damage). Combating these laws will improve efficiency. Parkinson’s Law can be neutralized by a) reducing the time allotment for each and every task, and b) front-end loading of tasks (i.e., doing as much as possible up front). Murphy’s Law cannot be totally neutralized, but being prepared for contingencies is the best defense.

5. Be Determined. No amount of skill, training and tools can replace the pure grit it takes to stick to your values and reach for your goal. Commitment to your goal is what separates winners from also-rans
