- PC : Odyssey
Time plays a very important role to become successful in life. For a student, success means getting good marks.
Regardless of any social position, we all get 24 hours a day. How and where we spend our time differs from person to person.
While successful people use their time smartly, unsuccessful people spend their time without prioritising their goals.
Let us find out how to use the time for success.
Find your priority
The first step in achieving your priority is to know your priorities. And then prioritise your priorities.
Sometimes, the biggest we mistake is we consider urgent things important.
For example, a phone ringing in your pocket is urgent or important. We don’t know the urgent or important. Because it is ringing and your brain is responding to the phone ring. You don’t know it is important until you know who is calling.
Procrastination
Very often people ask us questions? How soon can you this (write an answer/ solve a mental mathematics problem)? And you say not now. But that not now becomes never. Pushing work, delaying work, slacking and running away from work.
Well, that is procrastination. To attain your goals, it is important for you to overcome procrastination.
Self-motivation
Don’t look at the whole staircase. That’s going to make you nervous. Just take the first step to achieve success. The moment you achieve success by taking the first step you become enthusiastic to take the second step.
Handle difficult task first
Start your day by accomplishing the most difficult task first; the rest of the day would be so relaxing and easy.
You need to understand that there is no perfect time to start.
Don’t over allow your tongue overburden shoulders
Learn to segregate your time. Make your schedule. strategize and plan it according to your goal.

Different environments have a different impact on your productivity. Make friends who have ambitions to do something great in their life and passionate about their work.
Focus
Focus on what you want to accomplish. Take out time for analysing your strengths and weakness. Improve your performance every day.
Useless time
Give priority to people or things depending upon your goal. Don’t waste your because time spent cannot come back. Declutter your time.

Deadline
Do you that when you postpone a particular activity you the feeling of anxiety throughout the day.
What is going to happen if am not able to finish it? So, follow the do it now formula and get the work completed within the deadline.
Setting goals
If you want to reach your goals faster, you need to be specific about what you want to achieve.
Most students don’t know what they want to do. And even after working very hard without any goal they don’t pursue the course they actually interested in. Always remember the famous quote of Tony Robbins - Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into visible.
Delete less important work
Delete or do away with work that is not important. Do you know when you have lots of work in a day? Not all these jobs are equally important or less important as each other. Therefore, you need to know the art of choosing the work that is important. Depending upon your priorities, chose important work first and do away with the work that is not important.
Distraction
Make sure you work in a place or an environment which is conducive to getting work done quietly and more effectively.
Avoid people who distract you rather than encouraging you for the work you are doing.
Food habits
Eat healthily and stay fit. Always remember the proverb health is wealth. Don't rely on alcohol, smoking and caffeine as your ways of coping.
