My Learnings…. My Transformations

 

Time management is not clock management

When we are young we think that money is the greatest resource in life. We study hard and later work hard to earn a lot of money. But as we grow more mature in life we realize that time is our greatest resource. It will take time to understand that.

All of us have only 24 hours. We need time to take off from work and travel, be with our family, learn a new art, develop a hobby, and we may not find time for any of these.

We should create time to do something close to our heart.

One of my friends is a writer, motivational speaker, documentary film-maker, actor, dancer, fitness coach, yoga specialist and entrepreneur. How does one do all of these and much more?

“Time management is not clock management, but life leadership.”- mahatria

When a student takes great pride in saying that he is very punctual or regular to school, it is to be appreciated. But, he should also know that what he does during school hours is what really matters. Is he utilizing every period to gain a better understanding and application of the different concepts, acquire skills, expand his knowledge, develop the right values and attitude, become physically fit and mentally sound, and thereby growing holistically?

Then he is making the right utilization of time by using it productively.

As teachers, what is our contribution towards the lives of our students? Even if we are regular to school, prompt in going to our classes, what really matters is, how many students benefit out of our classes. Are we making our students employable, or ready for life? Right utilization of time is life leadership.

Mere transference of knowledge without an impact is only clock management. I can say I was in class, nothing else.

If we are touching lives and making a difference, that is the best utilization of our time.

Whatever we do should translate into something significant. Mere action without direction will not serve any purpose.

So, remember, more than focusing on what we did during the day, on an hourly basis, or more than the work that we completed, how productive and purposeful we were, makes the time invested, worthwhile.

I understood this only after wasting a lot of time in the past. Prompt in everything, but not productive. Working for a larger Cause helped me to discover myself and is making my life meaningful and purposeful. Time well invested in preparing students for life.

“Time management is not clock management, but it is about managing time in the context of what you want to be in the future”- mahatria

Find time to do what you are passionate about, to use your potential and to be useful to the world.

Leave your footprints on the sands of time…
