Myths about Time Management:
- There’s too much to do; I can’t handle it all.
- There’s plenty of time; I can do that later.
- I’m busier than usual right now, so it makes sense to put some things off until another time.
- Re-scheduling something to a later time is procrastinating.
- This little task is not important.
Funny thing about time
- Constant and irreversible.
- Nothing can be substituted for it.
- Once wasted , time can never be regained.
- You cannot stop time, slow it down, or speed it up.
- However, time can be very effective if managed effectively.
