Do you want efficient time management? Read about “The T.Q. Star”.


Every picture is worth a thousand words, and this figure tells you everything that you need to know about effective time management.

These 5 words on the corners of the star, represent the elements of the most powerful entity of the world, TIME and if you can control these elements in your life, you can harness the power of TIME Management and all of your problems can be solved very easily.

So start taking control of the 24 hours, just follow these 5 elements. Each element is connected to the rest 4 elements and completes the Time Quotient.

1)Priority

When you start your day, list down every job that you’ve to do, and assign priority to them. Don’t be confused by the list of tasks, just assign 1st priority to the highly productive tasks, Don’t procrastinate, do the important jobs first and small output tasks afterwards.

2)Schedule

This is the most important element, everyone knows that without scheduling a single tasks can’t be completed, whether it is at job or at home, you’ve to plan ahead.

Start scheduling by taking the high priority tasks first, BUILD TIME SLOTS, assign a particular TIME Slot to each task, also include “Time add-ons” e.g. you’ve a meeting at 12, by your estimate it can take 1 hour, but include a time add-on for maximum ½ hour, so that if delay occurs due to any problem, your schedule won’t be disturbed, and even the meeting completes on time or with a little delay then you’ve earned extra time for your next task!

Assign TIME SLOTS AND TIME ADD-ONS to every task that  you’ll perform throughout the day, this makes your schedule flexible and prepared for any emergency delay, but do have a threshold for time-add-on, you’ve limited time and if the task doesn’t complete within the time add-on, you should complete it first and reschedule for the rest tasks of the day.

3) Follow

90% of the people turn around on this element. They prioritize and schedule, but when it comes to following it, or following it through every day, they find it hard. It is mainly because the human brain resists changes, we can’t stop this feeling because we’re habitual of the daily ill-managed schedule.

Many people find the follow through of the schedule BORING, follow the schedule for some time and then go back to their old life.

But remember, an organised life yields great results, and unorganised life leads to less efficiency, and it leads to high work stress. So better start following the schedule and get great results.

4) Attract

Stay focused each day on your schedule. Use the law of attraction and spread this star to others so that you can get a group of organised people thinking just like you, and get better ideas from them. You may encounter many situations that can create problems for your scheduled life, many people give up after these situations, but don’t do it. If you follow your schedule for 21 days, it’ll definitely become a habit. Most people give up after 10-15 days, but this can affect your work efficiency.

Many problems will come daily, whether a task takes more time than the time add-on that you’d planned, or you’re busy completing an unplanned task, while your scheduled task is getting delayed. Don’t be afraid of these situations. Life is another name of challenges, take these situations as challenged and remember, always complete the high priority task first.

If you schedule doesn’t go as planned, reschedule and keep working, never lose focus on the results that you’ll get through better time management.

5) Evaluate

Until now you’ve prioritized, scheduled, followed and attracted the time star in your life, but now it’s time for the real test, Evaluation. At the end of each day, you note down every task that you completed throughout the day. REMEMBER: Never leave a task incomplete, it’s the enemy of time. When you’ve jotted down every task, evaluate the average time slot and average time add-on for each task, observe each task and make changes for the next day. Evaluation of your daily activities in the night, helps you to plan ahead for the next day, and makes you habitual of scheduling and efficient time management.

In this way if you follow the “ T.Q. STAR” technique, you can achieve miraculous results through efficient Time Management.

THE NEW FISSION REACTION:LATENESS

There’s only one key to effective time management: Practice prioritizing and scheduling in your daily life,adopt them in your soul,make a ritual and follow it regardless of any problems.

But it seems too difficult for many people, its not because they don’t value time,but they’re habitual of mismanagement of time and the major cause behind it is “The Lateness Fission Reaction”.

We encounter this phenomenon daily,but never ponder upon its results,because human brain readily adopts a repeated activity,and never cares to CHANGE it.We know that this leads to poor time management,but can’t change it.So how are you linked to this reaction?

Take a simple example in your own office.you come to your office at the right time, say 10o’clock, sometimes even you hurry from your home to reach the office on time. And then you see the unexpected.

An employee walks into the office around 10:15, rarely warned by the senior executive, and starts working. You think ”Why am I hurrying up in the morning to come at 10, a bit late even works! Nobody cares whether you’re late or on time. So from tomorrow I won’t hurry, I will come casually.” And this spreads to the whole office slowly, people start to come at 10:15.

Another factor in this reaction is procrastination,you’ve got important tasks to do,but instead you try to delay them overtime and hope that you’ll definitely complete that task tomorrow,but tomorrow never comes.Ultimately you run out of deadlines,and this spreads to others in your office,even at home too.

Let’s consider this as a reaction.One man comes late at the office,this message spreads to others,say two persons.They think coming late won’t be an issue.These 2 then go to a party,certainly a bit late,but no one cares about it.But the human brain has one side too,to take the bad lessons from activities.

The people see them coming late at the party,though no one cares to scold them,but what people do take in their mind is that”Hey,why did i come this early,a bit late even works! I could’ve utilized that time elsewhere,nobody cares if I’m late.

This spreads to others,slowly this lateness message spreads from 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 to 16…..and the whole community comes under its influence,like a fission reaction it spreads to societies,this leads to poor work efficiency and late project submissions.

Human brain gets so much USED TO these activities,we never take a moment to think that its our own activities that makes it difficult to manage time,instead we blame our mismanagement to others,a usual human brain psychology.

So if you want to improve your time management skills,spend more time with your family,and be a better employee at work,you’ve to ask these questions to yourself first;

1)WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY TIME?

Reason:This questions helps to self evaluate your time schedule,you will understand whether you’re a part of this reaction or not.Whether you’re  procrastinating and wasting your time,coming late at parties and appointments,and many other activities will show you the reality that your brain needs to know.

2)WHY AM I DOING IT WITH MY TIME?

Reason:This helps you understand yourself.You can sort out whether you’re happy with the daily lifestyle,or it’s simply a result of the fission reaction that your mind has adapted,and you never took time to evaluate it, but this question takes everything out of your head,and makes you realize the true  value of time management.

3)HOW CAN I IMPROVE MYSELF AND GET OUT OF THIS REACTION?

Reason:This awakens the mind power inside you that searches for answers and tries to solve this riddle.You will automatically become more organized and a better time manager,and the endless search for improving your time management skills triggers.Leading to a stress free,cheerful and efficient life style.
