Effective Time Management Key to Work-Life Balance

 





Today, we are living in the 21st century, amidst fast-developing technologies, digital economies, global uncertainty, and fast fast-changing geopolitical scenario. In such a turbulent environment, time is the most critical resource and it must be managed effectively. It is therefore important to have good speed in various actions like Reading, Writing, Thinking, Analyzing, Decision-Making, planning, and execution. Time is very vital resource but limited to just 24 hours daily to everybody. This  time includes day and night, where we need  6-7 hours of sleep, 1-2 hours of commuting to the workplace, 2-3 hours with family, one hour  for physical exercise/walking, 1-2 hours for having food and  getting ready for the workplace. Thus, we get daily just 8-10 hours at work workplace.  It is very pertinent to note that time gone past today will not come back tomorrow. Every tomorrow will come with new hopes and challenges and opportunities. Therefore, we must plan today for best time utilization tomorrow.

With global connectivity through affordable and reliable internet and 5G mobile communication networks, time-zone difference has become a boon instead of being a limitation. Time-zone advantage allows us to deploy our project teams globally and stay connected functionally on a 24x7 basis.  Hence, we can have global business partners and can work round the clock and across the globe.

The goal of my book “Effective Time Management Key to Work-Life Balance” is to review the current state of time management techniques/strategies and suggest an approach that helps individuals and their organization to grow faster. The book provides jargon-free, compact and easy-to-grasp material for young professionals. It aims to show them the pathway to learn newer skills on a continuous basis to grow by effective time management and provide a competitive edge to the organization. This book will also help the Presidents / Directors / CEOs of organizations to invest more in the training of their young professionals in time management techniques/strategies.

In today’s uncertain global environment, the survival and growth of businesses are achieved through the rapid acquisition of new skills and processes, the quick adoption of new techniques, and networking to share knowledge for faster growth. This book will be a handy reference/guide for students undergoing professional studies, business executives, team leaders, managers, and teachers/professors. Salient points in each chapter are given in bulleted form for ready to be used as PowerPoint (PPT) slides by teachers, professors, HRD managers, and senior management.

There are many books/e-books/white papers, blogs and Google pages on time management. These are very inspiring and valuable inputs since some of these contain case studies and research work of world-famous management and technology experts /gurus.

To create a greater impact on the reader the book has been written in a simple language in a conversational mode as if the reader and author are having a face to face conversation. The book is designed to empower senior management of any organization and young professionals in any field like Engineering, IT, Business Management, Digital Marketing/Sales, Design, Production, Projects, Banking, Insurance, Education, Healthcare, Journalism, Construction and Government or Private sectors.

I have tried to add some value, based on my 30 years in Telecommunications and Computer Technology, while serving in the Indian Army (Signals), 10 years in senior management in the corporate sector, 16 years as an educationist and having a long association with leading universities in the USA, UK, Australia and India. It is recommended to treat this book as your companion and, every day to open it and highlight a few paragraphs of your choice. Rest assured that within 45 days of picking up this book /eBook, reader will become time conscious professional who is more proactive, adaptable to new technologies and ensures success/growth. He/she will soon start balancing time for the Job and the Family.

Preparation deals with the use of skills, testing processes, and procedures. Those who practice building strength and better techniques are the winner in any race. In a competitive market, you are not running your own race but competing against equally great professionals.

Motivation, Monitoring Measurement and Maturity are necessary to accomplish any Mission

          Motivation, Monitoring Measurement and Maturity are necessary to accomplish any Mission To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.” –  Late Indian President. J. Abdul Kalam There should be motivation, aim, target, plan, and adequate resources to undertake any project /mission. A good old saying – What cannot be planned, needs not to be done and what is planned needs to be monitored else it will go out of control. What is to be monitored needs to be measured and evaluated for any deviation and timely in-process correction. As a leader or manager, you should effectively manage 5M (Men/women, Material, Machinery, Method, and Money). While dealing with business partners, customers and vendors, and you seniors, you must exhibit your missionary zeal, acumen, and maturity in your commination, thinking, and actions. The evidence of your maturity is when you stop proving to others that you are very intelligent and ...
