Top 5 Time Management Strategies to be smart about your time

We speak of time management as a mythical skill set. But at the core of it, time management is a simple exercise if we rationally follow a few strategies that help us be mindful of our time. It all starts with a brutally honest opinion about how our time is used and the knowledge of the things demanding our time. If we don’t have visibility of these things, there’s nothing to manage. Time management in such a scenario is a hoax. In this article, let’s talk about a few time management strategies that will help you stay on top of time and your priorities.

I alone cannot change the world Mother Teresa

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples - Mother Teresa

This quote talks to me about the simplicity and power of good thoughts and actions. One person may not be too big to make all the difference in the world. But one person can create a ripple effect by doing something that the rest of the world joins in. The beauty of this quote is not just in the humility Mother Teresa reflects in the quote. It is also about the belief in others and resonance that can create a ripple effect to cast a wide enough change for the world to revel in.

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself – Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda’s quotes talk about the importance of self-belief, confidence and trusting oneself before thinking about the sacred realm. In this quote, the inspiration is to find ourselves and trust in our thoughts, emotions and inner power. Unless we find a pathway to do this, the conversations about god and spirituality are pointless.

Self-belief is sacred and pure
What you believe about yourself, the world believes about you
You project your thoughts – unless you believe, you can’t convince anyone else

Some people come in our life as blessings and some as lessons

Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons - Mother Teresa

I love this beautiful quote by Mother Teresa talking about the type of people we encounter in life. We were never promised a rosy life with the best people in the world. The law of averages tells us that you’ll meet a few awful people in life. However, going by the same law, you’ll also meet some incredible people who’ll make you feel that life is a beautiful journey. The point in the quote is – we all have blessings and lessons in life. But neither is wasteful. People come into our lives for various reasons. it feels like there’s a mystical element of unknown to it. But they come into our life, it is up to us to decide how close we let them be. This depends on our outlook and confidence in the initial perception we will have about them.
