Time Management #6: Prioritizing is the Most Important Prerequisite for Efficiency...
Hello again, Steemians!
In this week’s blog post regarding the wisdom of time management, we will discuss the importance of prioritizing your chores and actions.
In our series of articles about time management, we have explained the significance of this wisdom and aptitude. Many aspiring dreamers often find it difficult to manage their time and reach peak efficiency with their endeavors.
The main problem with many of us is our senselessness in wasting time and losing control over this precious and irrefutable resource.
Time management is a three-fold facility; time, mind, and space. Your workspace contributes to your constant distractions, while your mind is baffled with new intriguing ideas every second or the reminiscence of past memories comes in the way of your thinking resolution.
The slippage of time is important too, for if we are not self-aware of the passage of time, this deceptive force of nature will leave us ruthlessly leave us behind.
Let us imagine that you have brought forth self-awareness of all the previous topics that we covered in this series of articles, and now you have a set of chores, actions or endeavors that you need to take on through a specific timeframe.
You are now equipped with the weapon of time management, but there is still one trick that your deceptive mind can play on you.
Our priorities are always shrouded in mystery and our predicament in arranging them remains in a cloud of ambiguity. That leaves a weakness in our schedule, compelling us to be productive in a way that harms our goals and deadlines.
For example, the most important thing you have to is write an article by the end of the week, but you also have other stuff to do in your written schedule.
In this situation, lack of priority obliges you to waste your time doing other insignificant stuff on your list, while almost completely forsaking the most important thing that you have to do.
This is another one of the mischiefs of your deceptive mind. Lack of priority will lead to your ultimate disappointment in spite of all the measures that you have put to use regarding time management and its techniques.
We could also link this to the Pareto principle (which we talked about in an older blog post) about the twenty percent of our daily tasks that are of the highest importance and give us the biggest results, as opposed to the rest of the eighty percent that will achieve us little to nothing.
The importance of setting priorities is your next step towards a journey in achieving true time management. Do not let the importance of your tasks to remain in ambiguity. This vagueness ultimately results in laziness and lack of focus, thus rendering your previous measures redundant and useless.
Be aware of mind, space and time. Plan with delicacy, and take steps to realize those plans.
But above all else, prioritize your tasks in order to reach peak efficiency.
A BIG HUG!

Thank again @zetacoin for your kind words. I'm glad too for you stay here with all of us! Happy 2019!
Good afternoon sr @chbartist, a warm greeting.
.
We must know how to correctly use time, which is a precious commodity
If we talk about a company where we work, sometimes we find people who work a lot, but at the end of the day, despite all the effort they employ, they do not achieve even 60% of the objectives assigned by their superiors. Motivated as you say that they do not establish or prioritize, nor do they execute a work plan that allows them to include in their work schedule all the activities they must execute.
Also, many times we see the opposite, people who apparently are not doing anything in the day and, at the end of the day, have exceeded or at least fulfilled their established objectives, in this case there are 2 options, or the employee has very few activities assigned or manage your time excellently.
These are examples that we can also live at home or in any activity that we develop, be it work, family, fun, etc. If we manage our time correctly, we can meet and exceed the goals we set, it all depends on the planning and the desire we have to be efficient.
Greetings, a big hug.
Thank you for your great comment @rafaelj25
Very good tech & explained post, a great piece of work.
I use something called "circle of trust", that i use to set priorities on my life, tasks, etc. That works fine for me.
Btw i am new here on your blog, i find you reading the trending and now i have to say to read your content. Is just great to learn from you on a such easy way!, thankyou from Venezuela.

When you mention time and space, you reminded me of the time, when i wanted to be reading something meaningful, not all so called social junks. At the first place i happened to procastinate and i didn't have a genuine reason why. So, then, i decided that every morning i will spent 10-15minutes reading (books). As time goes it now became part of me, whenever that time come i have to read something no matter how for me to feel satisfied. And through that i read many books and learn alot. Good and helpful post! Keep it up!! @chbartist
Agree 100 % for this article. Time, mind and space and suppoerting by with good priority. Because priority is the art that leads us to the vision we want. And priority also talking about commitment. Thanks for sharing it sir @chbartist. God bless you

@chbartist, Yes, we all talk about the Time Management and more we talk it will ease to understand but in Practical life it's not that easy job. So, first of all we have to understand the important activities because in that way we can prioritise our work effectively because when we know what we have to do then we can do adjustments and we can attain the activities on time which is inturn productive.
But there is one more twist or we can call it as ultimate twist, we have to control our mind because mind hold thoughts and thoughts are dynamic and if we will not going to control mind then it can jump from one thought to another and it can impact our current work or schedule.
Stay Blessed. 🙂

Nice post ...... Yeah time is the duration of an event by defination. we must all try to manage our time inorder to use it for something beneficiary or something reasonable. A big thanks to @chbartist for sharing. I wish u Merry Xmas and happy new year in advance. keep steeming!👍
Thank you!
Well described. Really, expecting more to read from you. One thing would to point is that; the four quadrant time management matrix might support you to explain. but did not mean, you missed that concept. Happy Christmas!!!
Focusing on priorities is the fundamental factor of being a leader as it enables effective delegation and efficiently completing task to deliver results. As teams engage with these practices, it allows time to be spent for improving and achieving improved results.

It is right we have to categories our work according to priority. Everyone have lots of work to do but every work have it's own priority and importance so if we want to be successful then we have to do right work in right time. We have to make a list of our work according to categorie of importance and the we have to start most important work first. It is very important to be time consious if we want to do something extraordinary and wants to be an inspiration to other because time is like a rivers flowing water we can't touch again it's flowing water from same place.
So use your time wisely otherwise time will distroy you.
