6 Reasons Why You Should Probably Start Organizing Your Time

Time is money and in this world where people are naturally impatient and are prone to making snap judgments upon the first impression, Filipinos have this ingrained habit and stereotype of always being late, for just about everything even when they set the time way back before the actual event - being on time is just not that easy especially with many obstacles like traffic to overcome in order to meet your appointments.

Being on time matters not just because it’s out of courtesy and coincides with proper decorum. Here are 6 reasons why you should probably start scheduling:

1. Wasting time is throwing away money

There are 24 hours in a day, meaning that you have ample time in a day to meet your goals whether they are big or small ones. What matters is that you spend your hours wisely and not get distracted by irrelevant tasks that don’t support your goal.

Prioritize what you need to do, when, and how to do it. With a proper schedule, you’ll be on the right path to working efficiently and as effectively as possible. And you’ll be less likely to waste the hours procrastinating when you could have spent the time making money and learning new skills.

2. Scheduling makes for better decision-making

Spontaneous decisions aren’t that favorable to make when it comes to work because it often leads to undesirable results that could have been prevented if you weren’t pressured by time to make a decision.

With effective time management, you’ll feel more in control of your cognitive abilities and be able to carefully consider the options you have when making an important decision that could make or break you.
 
3. Planning ahead optimizes chances for success

Success is built on hard work and smart decisions, both of which require good time management. If you can’t manage your time effectively then you are lowering your chances of meeting your goals and hindering your ladder to success.

People notice when you have control over your time and they notice if the work that you do is exceeding expectations. To do this you need to discipline yourself to get things done the right way.

4. Organizing your schedule reduces stress

Knowing you have time on your hands and that you’re getting things done is a great feeling. No one wants to fall into the pitfalls of having deadlines coming at you from left to right and the clock ticking faster with every second that pasts.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the tasks at hand especially when you have more to do that needs to be done or are already overdue. Once you learn to balance your time and energy to do the most important jobs then you are less likely to feel stress and gain more confidence in your work.

5. Having hold of your time schedule helps you produce quality work

Too busy rushing to finish a project to meet an important deadline? When you notice yourself being dragged everywhere for work and being too swamped to even take a breather, then you have a poor handle on your time.

Being disorganized and not meeting your set goals will only lead to sloppy results and cause a strain on your relationships with your co-workers and business partners. Learn to dedicate your time to tasks where your attention is needed and where the priority to finish is high.

6. Being on time improves your reputation

No one likes to be known as the person who’s always late and therefore holds up important meetings and projects for everyone else. Word spread fast and your reputation matters if you ever want to climb up the ranks and improve yourself as a person.

You don’t just work for yourself just like you don’t live for yourself, be an effective team player and take into account that people are relying on you to meet your deadlines to move their work forward. 

“Thinking, planning, finding out how others manage their time, and reading books and articles on time management, will develop these skills and give you good ideas.” Success Consciousness says.
