Time Management

There are basically seven days in a week and 24 hours in a day. If you can't manage your activities within these facts (of having 7days and 24hours in a day), then an additional day like 'moon day' or been given 26 hours will still make no difference.


The following are ways you could manage your time:
The major difference between the rich and poor is simply in how they utilize their time. Time is a scarce commodity.

Sleep less
Check or search the profile of top entrepreneurs you know, you will discover they sleep less or between 4-5 hours a day. Imagine you sleeping 7-8 hours a day. Mathematically, you would have used up 3months or more of your life in a year to sleep. Every great 'man' you see, consistently burn the midnight oil while others are asleep.

Always have a to do list.
It basically helps you plan your day and avoid doing some unnecessary things. Prioritize your daily activities and review it by the end of the day. be consistent at having a daily to do list.

Technology
Technology is not profitable when time is not factored in its usage. consider doing away sometimes with your gadgets. The social media (facebook, twitter, bbm, whatsapp, snap chat, google plus e.t.c) are platforms where most people waste their time uncontrollably.

Set goals
These are basically your target for the day with proper time allocation. Remember, you hardly miss a target you see, compared to an imaginary action plan.

TV
Reduce the time at which you watch your television set. "Those who make news don't them". Is good to be informed. But indulge in watching unnecessary soap opera, season films and the likes.

Multitask
If you can two things at the same time without losing focus, then, you can save a lot of time for you. You can use a stone to kill two birds.

Remember, you only have one life to live, use it well.

A True life story

You are to give your self reason(s) to succeed or you keep complaining all your life.
Shalom blac's true life story is too inspirational to ignore

                                                 

When she was 9 years old, she was in her mum’s grocery store where she also sold fried food during the evenings. She was tired and wanted to go to sleep. Her mum asked her to sleep in the room inside but when she got there, she was scared by a cat so decided to sleep elsewhere on a table.
Her younger sister was also placed alongside on the table later on.
They both slept until they woke up suddenly after scathing hot oil fell on both sisters.
It was a terrible scene as they were rushed to the clinic but when they were told that there were no doctors on duty.
She fainted soon after…
Fast forward, it was very tough dealing with the scars.
  “People began to stare at me, or look at me in a nasty way,” she recalls. “One of my neighbors, we used to play together, came in my house and when he saw me ran away crying.”
Eventually, an aunt helped the family move to the United States of America where she had numerous operations.
She was bullied and considered suicide.
Eventually, she discovered makeup and today she is an emerging beauty vlogger.
