Time Management

Time Management, seems important as it is one of the topics, but so far as I am concerned I am not a student any more nor do I belong to the higher or highest management of an organization.  Time management is important rather essential for a student to which his studies must have his/her priority, and they all are attracted towards extracurricular activities.  So they need ‘time management’.  

On the other hand there are the categories of the people like high profile management, who have lots of works to do at the same time so they make their secretaries to ‘manager their time' for them, then accordingly they follow their schedule.

Now come the people belonging to the mass of middle class and middle management i.e. like me.  So they do not have their own time management except to report on duty on time mostly at 9:00 a.m. and stay to work till 5:00 p.m. The other end of time mostly not in their own hand, because if bosses ask, they would have to stay after 5:00 p.m. too.  Our time depends on the work/s assigned to us. First come first serve, or otherwise what bosses ask.  But there is rather a difficult situation if an employee like me is responsible to carry out works for more than one boss.  In this case an employee should be well experienced and well aware of the seniority of the bosses in the first place, second, he should be capable to assess the importance of the work thereby decide the priority, and thirdly he should be so confident in his work that he puts the priority on the work by himself. 

For example, I will definitely give the first priority to the chairman and or director’s work, then to M.D. and then to other and I will clearly let them know the priorities I am going to follow.  Against any senior one the lower one will have to agree with my schedule.

This is the ‘Time Management’ I follow not for myself, but for the sake of job assigned to me.

  • Thanks sidra for your appreciation.

  • Thanks Ratu for posting your view point on "Time Management"

  • Dear Mish

    Time management, is about discipline, about self control, about put something on the right time & place, about priority, not only when we are studying and at working place but its about how to manage your time to make your life easier, even if you are just a house wife.

    Basically time management is how to make everything easier for you, about to follow your schedule right on time, about to make a timetable. and discipline when you do it, is the key word to have a good time management.

    thanks for sharing.

  • We all need to manage our time regardless of which class we belong :) nice work by the way
  • Seeker and Elena: I appreciate both of your view points. Thanks a lot!

  • Hi Mish,I think that time management is really important especially when we have to bring to an end a project and I think that if someone succeeds in managing his/her own time has good chances to satisfy that! Time management is a quality, a good point which assures you for the most part a success.

  • I never found a boss whom I can call 'all good'

    Exploitation is there on all level.

    Thanks saba for comment.

  • Eva: 

    Here is a true story about rights of employee.

    You may remember in one of my blogs I mentioned a Textile Industry where I worked.  The owners were like landlord mentality.  They used to treat their employee like salves.  They also had an office there in London (I have also mentioned this in the referred blog).  Boss's son had a British secretary, and as habit he stopped her after 5 p.m. She didn't say a word and did as was ordered by the boss, but later on she lodged her complaint with the local trade union or whatever authority was there.

    The owner's son was find 200 PS, and warned if he repeat this practice his licence trade in British will be cancelled.

    Then the secretary was accordingly fired and they started bringing the employee from Pakistan, even the house made was brought from Pakistan, who being subject of their land the rule could not say a word for their highhandedness. 

  • I think a good boss is not so harsh on his/her employees.

  • Thanks Narin for the comment.
