Thoughts on Time Management

Why do you need to learn time management when you are retired. The myth is that you will have all the time in the world, to do what you want, when you want. Talk to friends and others who have been retired for a while, and you will find that we do not have any time and for most of us we are juggling so many activities it is hard to keep them straight. That is why learning time management is important and not as difficult as many believe.

One of the first steps in managing time is to understand your individuality and what you can handle. What are you currently doing with your time, and what is important to you, need to be examined before starting to manage our time. We can break time management down according to your individual needs, but for the most part managing time is the process of handling tasks so that we can complete the tasks we have undertaken. 

One trait that comes in handy when we start to manage our time, is flexibility. We may need the ability to alter our plans, since people, places, things, and businesses change. We need a direct order of skills to make a plan work and need the ability to comply with those plans. We need to learn to accept changes as they come and learn social skills and conditioning in order to manage our time. 

When we are balanced and learning our time is spent wisely, which contributes to time management. Another great tool to have when starting to manage your time is motivation. Motivation is achieved in many ways, and some things in life can affect how we feel or think. Some of the things that affect our motivation levels are smoking, caffeine, lack of exercise, overeating, lack of dieting, and having the ability to cope with changes. To cultivate motivation then we need to treat our minds and body well

Learning time management is essential for all the things we do in life. From the first day, you came into the world up until the time you went to school you were learning time managing skills. If we do not understand who we are as an individual, we are not learning what it takes to manage time wisely.
