What is the most valuable resource we have?
TIME
Imagine there is a bank. Everyday when you wake up in the morning you wallet is magically filled with 86400 rupees. You try to spend some of it and then at night before you sleep it is gonna burn the rest of the money. We would be very hurt right but why don't we think like that for time. Time is the money in the story 24x60x60 = 86400.
Do watching IN TIME movie to know who would our life be if time was money.
MANAGEMENT
Is it money, real estate...sorry I forgot it is fuel..
No...they are important but not as important as time.
TIME
What is Time?
As I said previously it is the most valuable resource.
Why is it so important?
Because whether you are rich or poor everyone in the world will have only 24 hours a day.You have to live with that. If you are asking for time or thinking if I had more time you could have done that then stop thinking like that you are not gonna get more time. Because you have all the time you need from that time only you have to spin out health, money,knowledge respect etc.,.

Spend it wisely. The beauty of time is you cannot waste the next minute or tomorrow.
There is a saying about time.
" Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is mystery but , today is a gift that is why it's called Present."
MANAGEMENT
Now let me give you some tips how to manage your time effectively.
1.Prioritise professor
A professor at university came to class and showed a jar, some stones and sand.
Professor : Is there any place to fill?.
Students : Yes.
(Professor placed the stones till the jar could not fill with any more stones)
(Again professor asked)
Professor : Is there any place to fill?.
Students : No.
(Professor then shakes the jar and filled it with pebbles).
(Again professor asked)
Professor : Is there any place to fill?.
Students : (Doubtfully said) Noo...
(Professor then shakes the jar and filled it with sand).
Professor was trying to compare the Jar to Life.
Stones are Love,Family, Job etc.
Pebbles and sand are the rest like worrying about paying bills.
What would happen if you fill the jar first with Sand and pebbles. You won't have space to fill your life with joy.
We often think that our weekday is just the office time and i will enjoy in the weekend. No we need to stop thinking like that and stop thinking that you are tired after going home try to spend some time with your family. You are earning money to spend it with your family comfortably.To make our day beautiful try putting Joy in your daily life even in your work then only you will be happy.
We need to prioritise our life, and we need to apply the same in our daily activities.

3. Respect Struggle
Most of our lives we struggle hard, when we need to do something important. We need to learn to respect that time because we have crossed it with courage and great effort and in the process of improving one self.
There was a man who was sitting at a part and watching the kids playing. He was really enjoying the moment. Then suddenly he saw a Cocoon and the butterfly inside it is trying to break and come out, the man thoughtfully tried to help the butterfly and brought a pair of scissors and had cut the cocoon so that butterfly can come out easily. The butterfly came out but it never flew, because the nature around us teaches us a lesson that your life cannot be fruitful without crossing struggles.

4.Excercise Brain
We exercise our body right. Yoga or food precautions not only nurturing our body but some times we need to nurture your brain too.
When ever you have 5-10 min of times sit idle it is really hard to sit idle, close your eyes and think of your self eating a mango and feeling the taste. This way you are sending signals to your brain that i am eating mango. It is the first step of controlling brain. Later on we need to do things consciously like managing time and after few months or years your brain will automatically do it for you unconsciously.

5.RAP
R - Record.
A - Act
P - Play.
We often don't track how much time we are spending on which activities.If we do so then we can track what we can do better with the time we have.
Try doing this
From the time you wake up in the morning till you go to bed write down the time and what you are doing.
Ex:
09:00 AM - woke up
09:15 PM - 10:00 AM got ready, tiffin.
10:00 PM - 11:00 AM news paper.
11:00 PM - 12:00 PM TV.
12:00 PM - 09:00 PM office.
09:00 PM - 10:00 PM journey
10:00 PM - 01:00 AM movie.
01:00 AM - sleep.
Record
If you write down like this then you can see where you can do better. For the above example. 10:00 - 12:00, 10:00 - 1:00 AM i could have spent that time more wisely.
Act
So now i know which time i can spend now i need to now plan the events. Plan for studying or reading books or which i am planning for the future.
Play
Now we have planned what i need to do in that time. I just need to play it fairly.
Everyday we need to fill our tasks in the following table to plan which are important, we need to give numbers according to them.
Conclusion:Long back i had an accident and used to forget things so what in order not to forget things i started writing diary with everything in detail. Before going to bed i close my eyes and think of what i have done and like that i lived my day twice. I some times do the same not only when the day was good but i do it even in my worse days. Then i thought by reliving the day i can dream of how i could have made the day even better. Suppose a man was not moving next in the row and instead of that talking of phone if i had shouted to move front, While reliving i will think of how i could have done it better like asking him politely to "Please move forward".We don't need to wait to correct the mistake till it happens another time, we can do it the same day.
