Why do we find people in a stressful life? It's sad that as technology introduces new tips and tricks, people are still behind in life. This is all because whatever people know about time management has proven to be wrong. The question is, why is it wrong?
Time management has moved to self management. Time continues whether you like it or not. Time cannot be created, borrowed or destroyed. We can only use, misuse or waste time. Since we cannot necessarily manage time, we can rather manage ourselves. The title for this series is SELF MANAGEMENT instead of TIME MANAGEMENT because you can rather manage yourself to get the results you need.
Time management has moved from just being logical to emotional. Whatever we do, we give ourselves the emotional permission to do that. It is all about giving yourself emotional permission to do what you said you would do. You can set an alarm, get a to-do list and a sticky note on your desk but if you don't give yourself the emotional permission, it will just be a listed task on your desk. The logical thing to do is to set an alarm, get a to-do list and sticky note but you can skip it at the time it's supposed to be done. You only skip all these responsibilities because you don't give yourself the emotional permission to do the work. The most effective people are the ones who manage their emotions.
