The main item of discussion in 4 Ds is whether a task needs delegation. Delegation in effect conflicts with the feeling of control and micromanagement. However, in this article, we will talk about the types of prioritisation models we can follow to make the best use of our time. In addition, I'd always route us back to some time management skills that will help us increase productivity.

Ever since I read his book, Wings of Fire, I've fallen in love with his thoughts about dreams. These quotes are usually followed by their powerful companions - perseverance and hard work. As we talk about Kalam's quote on dreams transforming into thoughts and actions, let's try and explore the meaning of this quote and its relevance in today's world.

These thoughts however are extremely powerful. If we ignore them, easily poisonous thoughts such as doubts, lies and disbelief will start pestering us. The best thing we can do is to be aware of these thoughts, what they are trying to tell us and think of the best ways to indulge in them.

It is most important to ensure that we are spending our time on the right things. This quote by Peter Drucker beautifully talks about the difference between efficiency and effectiveness. It is so easy to get caught up in the idea of being productive with time. However, effectiveness asks us to step out of this biased thinking. It forces us to look at the big picture and ask whether we are compromising effectiveness for the sake of efficiency.

Unfortunately, most times we don't treat time with the same respect because something else takes priority. This quote by Stephen Covey, makes us pause and rethink about time as an investment for the future. As much as I like the idea of investing time in the future, I'm conflicted with the thought that disregards the present and treats it as a tool for the future.

This makes managing time and stress very difficult. However, it is a pertinent problem - big enough to ensure that we must do something about it. Or else we constantly run a risk of being overwhelmed, stressed and not having enough time for the things that we want to do.
