Dear Friend,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The headline of this message may\nleave you wondering: Save two whole hours?… that too from an already\nhectic schedule<\/em>? That\u2019s impossible!\u2014many of you may shrug off\nincredulously. But believe us, it is possible. Your intrinsic commitment to\nyour goal will make it possible. And these two \u2018created\u2019 or saved hours can be\nlife-changing. These can give you cutting edge over your peers and make all the\ndifference to make you what you want to be\u2014an IAS, engineer, MBA, doctor and\nwhat not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With these two extra hours, you get\n14 extra productive hours or more than a day in a week, and nearly two\nadditional months in a year, which you can fruitfully invest in your efforts\ntowards the ultimate career goals. Isn\u2019t it fantabulous?<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is true that most of the serious\nlot among you feel time-starved and caught up in an endless to-do list. The key\nhere is to take stock of your daily schedule. You might have overstuffed your\nlives with many a trivial unproductive daily ritual, which, if cut out, will\ncreate more time for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Author Ms. Marie Forleo in her\nlatest book titled \u2018Everything Is Figureoutable<\/em>\u2019 rightly says that it\u2019s\nnever about having the time, it\u2019s about making the time. \u201cEverything you do,\nyou choose<\/em>.\u201d So, try cutting down on the idle time you spend on your mobile\nphones, the time you waste on browsing the internet for the stuff you don\u2019t\nneed, or the time you lose watching the idiot box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forleo rightly says that you can\u2019t\nmanage what you don\u2019t measure. Thus, for the next seven days, write down every\nsingle thing you do, from the moment you wake up to the moment you to go to\nsleep. Just grab a notebook and track your time in two\u201410- or 30-minute\nincrements. Then minutely analyse your time spent. As you do so, you will\nrealise how much time you fritter away on dumb stuff that has no connection to\nyour treasured dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The idea is to free up about two\nhours a day for your productive pursuits. For that, pay particular attention\nto society\u2019s biggest time sucks like social media, email, the internet in\ngeneral (shopping, gaming), traffic & commuting, unnecessary get-togethers,\ntelevision, running errands, or being on your mobile phones. Particularly, the\nmobile phones deserve extra attention as research shows that we are likely to\nunderestimate our phone usage by nearly 50%. You must have experienced that how\na casual glance at your WhatsApp sucks you into the labyrinths of\nfriend-groups, messages and videos, etc., meaninglessly killing two, four or\nsometimes even six hours of productive time altogether before you realise it.\nThis precious time, wasted mindlessly, could have been easily saved. <\/strong>To\nbegin with, go screen-blank, eliminate all social media, TV, podcasts and\nonline videos from your schedule. Believe us, you will survive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We are talking of saving two hours a\nday as it is enough of a stretch that forces you to challenge deeply-held\nassumptions about how you have constructed your life. The cumulative effect of\nspending two more hours a day towards a meaningful goal will alter the\ntrajectory of your life. However, if you manage to even save just one instead\nof two hours, it will still be a great far-reaching achievement. Your plan to\nmake best use of the time so created or saved can act as a stepping stone to\nsuccess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, it is pertinent to draw upon\nour experience as well as exposure to the success stories of our readers over\nthe past six decades to sum up the mantra of ultimate success, that is: \u201cInvest\nBest Time and Best Effort.<\/em>\u201d As they say, Time is Money<\/em>.\nMetaphorically, the same is true for you too. At the present stage of your\npursuit of a career, time is the only real capital that you have. How you\ninvest it, will build or break the life of your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Time is ticking fast and it is high\ntime for you to seize the moment productively. It is the today that creates the\nfuture. Let\u2019s take inspiration from a saying that \u201cThe bad news is that time\nflies. The good news is that you are the pilot<\/em>.\u201d Remember, time is\nlife\u2014waste your time and waste your life, or master your time and master your\nlife<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing changes if you do not\nchange. So, break your patterns and step away from societal norms that\nsuffocate your lives. With a few tweaks, you\u2019ll see how possible the more\nproductive time really is. Remember, time and tide wait for none. Recall Mother\nTeresa when she says: \u201cYesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have\nonly today. Let us begin<\/em>.\u201d Make a new beginning as the creator of your\ncareer. And your time starts now\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yours Sincerely, COMPETITION SUCCESS REVIEW, MARCH 20<\/em>20<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, You Can Save Two Hours A DayTo Become What You Want To Be Dear Friend, The headline of this message may leave you wondering: Save two whole hours?… that too from an already hectic schedule?
