Time Management Skills

Don't let people that time management skills are complex, they are not. The difficulty is all of us are complex, and we have to determine which skill serves us best. Usually, when we slip and fail at a task, we feel sad, pessimistic, stressed, and our determination is challenged. Our attitude toward failure is what determines how fast we resolve to move ahead. It may only take a minute to screw up something, but it can take a lifetime to fix it. 

One saying I like to use is "Keep it Simple Smart" or KISS. If we keep our approach to time management with the idea of keeping everything simple, we are in a better place.

Keeping it simple is one method of thinking smart.  Simple thinking can be more defined as thinking that frees us from all the elements that contaminate our minds. Elements such as dishonesty and pride. Simple thinking is when we hold more of a humble attitude that believes in a modest station in life. This is one interpretation, but other explanations define simple thinking as a lack of required information and expertise or not psychologically or culturally sophisticated.

Many times I am prone to generalize in my thinking. I know this is a sign of simple laziness. Generalizing is a form of making irrational decisions. So, I think it is best not generalize or avoid complex issues when it comes to managing time. 

Keeping it simple helps us to stay sharp in any situation. Having a clear mind when it comes to preparation and organization helps us complete steps to our long-term goals. 

A focus on keeping things simple can make a difference when a bad situation arises. Most problems are not as difficult as they may seem. When a problem develops, rather than stressing and worrying about it, focus on the problem and analyze it carefully to find a resolution. By focusing on breaking the problem down into its component parts, more than one solution may be found.

If we have a tendency to overgeneralize, we may not see the central details that can end the problem.  Overgeneralization tends to waste valuable time and often leads to bigger problems. 

When we train our minds to stay focus on the "Keep It Simple, Smart" approach we are on a well-rounded path to victory and our time is managed respectively. 

If you have a problem with remembering your responsibilities, don’t be ashamed to use aids such as posted notes, or email alerts,  whatever you need so that you will see them daily. Focus on what fits and works best for you.
