0:17Namaskar friends.
0:19This is lecture 3 of module 12 of the
0:23stress management course. And as I
0:26promised, I have come up with a detailed
0:29discussion of some very important life
0:33skills which I found relevant for most
0:38of us.
0:40This series include the skill of time
0:44management, the skill of making
0:47decisions which are quick and accurate
0:51along with the ability to solve problems
0:55effectively.
0:56And the third in this series is doing
1:00effective communication.
1:03So these three series will be elaborated
1:07individually in the next three lectures.
1:11This particular lecture is focused on
1:14the skill of time management which most
1:18of us suffer from. So let us begin with
1:22our discussion and I really hope this
1:26lecture is going to add something to
1:29your life which is meaningful and which
1:32can have a longlasting impact on the
1:36stress level you usually suffer from.
1:40Let us begin with the lecture.
1:44Here is the quick precap of what we are
1:47going to learn.
1:50So I have tried to choose some uh
1:54specific techniques with which we are
1:58better able to manage our task and time
2:02and this include a four quadrant
2:04approach of goal setting and
2:07prioritization of task. Then planning
2:11anduling different methods of planning
2:14and scheduuling the day so that we can
2:17make most of the time available to us.
2:21Then some other task management
2:24techniques will be discussed and finally
2:27we will be talking about managing
2:30distractions and sustaining our focus to
2:34the task for a long period of time.
2:40So first of all let us talk about
2:44prioritization and goal setting and we
2:47are going to have a four quadrant
2:49approach about it.
2:52Friends, we have multiple tasks to be
2:55fulfilled in a particular time slot.
2:59Some of them are highly urgent means we
3:02have to do them immediately. If we don't
3:05do them immediately probably uh the time
3:09will lapse and we will never be able to
3:11do it then or it is going to cost us a
3:14lot if I get another chance of doing the
3:17same thing.
3:20Similarly, some tasks are very important
3:24and they are they are to be taken up
3:27immediately
3:29because of their consequences which are
3:33greatly relevant to us. We can't dare to
3:37really miss those task. So some tasks
3:40are important,
3:42some tasks are urgent and some tasks are
3:46both. Okay, both important as well as
3:49urgent
3:51and there may be certain things which
3:53are neither urgent nor important. So
3:57first of all we must uh identify what
4:02are the things we are supposed to do in
4:05a stipulated period of time.
4:08Then we try to find out which tasks are
4:13really important for us and which are
4:19urgent for us. So in the first uh cell
4:23which is quadrant one I will keep the
4:26things which are important as well as
4:29urgent. So important as well as urgent
4:32means their consequences are very much
4:35significant for us. I cannot uh dare
4:39taking risk with those tasks because uh
4:43the cost of failing to complete
4:46successfully
4:48uh will be a lot to me to bear with.
4:52Plus those important tasks are now
4:56urgent means very less time is available
4:59for the completion of the task. So that
5:02kind of tasks are to be taken up in the
5:06first priority which are important also
5:09and then the time of completion is not
5:12much. They have become urgent. They have
5:15to be completed quickly. So focus your
5:19attention first to those tasks which are
5:21important and urgent. Then second number
5:26can be given to those which are
5:28important but for which you have time at
5:32hand. They have not become urgent. So
5:36you can schedule those task. We are not
5:40going to miss them even if we schedule
5:43them for tomorrow or maybe day after
5:46because there is still 10day time
5:49available to complete that task. So I
5:52can reschedule them for tomorrow or
5:55maybe the day after. Okay. Then comes
5:58the tasks which are urgent but they are
6:02not much important. So those tasks can
6:06be given to other people also. There is
6:09a concept of teamwork right. Every task
6:14cannot be done by the same individual
6:18himself or herself. We many times need
6:21to divide responsibility. So you have to
6:24think carefully which task is to be kept
6:26for yourself and which task can be given
6:29to other people. So those task which
6:32have become urgent means very less time
6:34is available to fulfill the task. So it
6:38has to be done immediately but because
6:40it is not that important its
6:42consequences are not going to affect me
6:44so deeply. I can rely on others
6:48for that task and I can give that task
6:51to other people. And lastly, the task
6:54which are neither urgent nor important
6:58such task must be given to other people
7:01only. We must not uh really spare the
7:05time and attention for that kind of
7:07task. So whenever we take this four
7:10quadrant approach, we have to think
7:13about the allotted task or the
7:17assignments which we have to complete
7:20with respect to two things. First the
7:24significance of the consequences or
7:27outcome which make the task either
7:29important or unimportant and the time
7:32available for the completion of the
7:35task. If time available is very less,
7:39the task is now urgent. If the time
7:42available is still um enough for us, we
7:46can rechedule it. The task is important.
7:49Its impact is important, but I still
7:52have time. So, I can think of doing it
7:55maybe later. Of course, not in the 11th
7:58hour, but it is not that urgent to do it
8:01right now. I can take up other important
8:04and urgent task first and it can be
8:07scheduled for a later time.
8:11Then once I set the priorities
8:15I have to do planning.
8:18I now know that okay these are the task
8:20which are very important and very less
8:23time is important. So I have to focus
8:25all my attention and effort to these
8:28task first.
8:30Now I have to plan what I need to plan.
8:34If the task is big, if it is large, it
8:38if I am supposed to invest a good amount
8:42of effort and time into it, it is better
8:46to break it into small doable parts and
8:51then I have to think that how much steps
8:56or parts of this particular task are to
8:59be completed today, how much I'm going
9:02to complete it tomorrow, how much day
9:04after tomorrow before I actually
9:07complete the task by putting all the
9:10segments together.
9:12This can be done by keeping to-do list
9:15and reviewing the list at the end of the
9:18evening. Friends, what happens that
9:20whenever we uh we come across terms like
9:24to-do list, we find them fascinating, we
9:27immediately decide to follow these kind
9:29of ideas. We start writing to-do lists
9:32in our mobile phones, in laptops or or
9:36simply in our pocket diaries. But what
9:38happens? We write all the tasks then we
9:42keep doing whole day whatever we
9:44remember or whatever we want and then at
9:47the end of the day we do not turn the
9:51page back and see what I had listed and
9:54how much I had completed. So it is
9:57equally important to go through the
10:00to-do list again in the evening or
10:03whatever time you rest your day and find
10:06out how much you have uh abided by your
10:12list. How much tasks which were
10:16scheduled for today were actually
10:20completed. Okay. Then how can I do it?
10:24There is a popular technique which is
10:26known as time blocking. So if I know
10:29that today I have to do this this this
10:32this maybe four tasks are there and I
10:35review the hours of my day. I can spot
10:38out when I can find time to complete
10:40those tasks. I can simply block time.
10:44Block time means I can schedule a
10:46particular time period. Maybe 12 to 2 I
10:50will be doing this only. no other task
10:53will be taken up. So in my list or in my
10:57planner I cannot simp I am not simply
11:01putting up the task but I'm also
11:04blocking time for it. So task number one
11:07and the time allotted is 12 to2. So this
11:11technique is called time blocking. Now
11:13that 12 to2 time is no more available
11:16for other kind of things. Whenever I
11:18have to take up the next task, I will
11:21have to look for other time slots. I
11:23cannot it really I cannot accommodate it
11:26again in the same time slot which will
11:28create a conflict. Okay. So time
11:31blocking is another popular technique.
11:33What happens that when we create
11:35specific blocks of time I exactly come
11:38to know when I will be busy during the
11:41day and doing what I will be busy with.
11:44Okay. uh it ensures dedicated time slots
11:47for each activity and it assure uh
11:52sustained attention over the task.
11:56Then here are some popular task
11:59management techniques. The first one is
12:02known as pomodoro technique. Now this
12:04pomodoro technique means we can create
12:09short spell of time to work and work
12:14with full focus which will be followed
12:18by short breaks and then when I complete
12:23many pomodoros in sequence I'm entitled
12:26to have a long break. For example, if my
12:30working day starts at uh suppose 11:00
12:34a.m. okay then I planned that I will be
12:39working from 11 to 11:30 then or 11:25
12:44then I will take 5 minutes break then I
12:46will again start working from 11:30 to
12:5011:55 and I'm going to take 5 minutes
12:52break. So this 25 minutes period from 11
12:56to 11:25 is basically one pomodor and it
12:59is followed by a short break of 5
13:02minutes where I can take some quick
13:04snacks or I can drink uh some water or I
13:07can simply get up from my chair doing
13:10some stretching or I can look outside of
13:12the v outside through the window uh
13:16watching some nice flowers or plants or
13:18something like that. Then what happens
13:21when I completed four pomodoros of 25
13:24minutes that is roughly I worked from 11
13:28a.m. to 1 uh p.m. I'm entitled for a
13:33longer break. So instead of 5 minutes
13:36now I can take a break of 30 minutes
13:39where I'm going to have uh some snacks
13:43or maybe some drinks or I can go to
13:46another person's desk and uh have a chat
13:50with my friend or anything like that. So
13:53I'm being I will be away from the work
13:57for a longer period of time that is
13:59almost 30 minutes and once that 30
14:02minutes are over I will be back to work
14:06again dividing my time into small
14:10pomodoros and each pomodoro will again
14:13be followed by a short break. Then after
14:162 hours or 3 hours I'll be having a long
14:18break. So this is the technique of
14:21pomodoro. This is a popular technique
14:23and it really helps uh assuring focus of
14:27attention on the task because usual span
14:30of attention is 15 to 20 minutes. So we
14:33can stretch it a little bit and keep it
14:36tight up to 25 minutes after which I can
14:40release the pressure and I can uh really
14:44have a break. The second popular
14:47technique is eat that frog first. Here
14:50frog doesn't mean frog rather it refers
14:54to the most tedious or difficult task
14:57which I have scheduled for the day. If I
15:00have scheduled say four or five things
15:04to complete in a day and I know which is
15:07the most difficult one, I can take up
15:11that most difficult task before I take
15:15up the easier ones. If I complete that
15:19difficult task successfully, it is
15:22immediately going to give me a boost. It
15:26will give me a lot of happiness, a sense
15:28of achievement, a sense of confidence
15:31and my energy level and my motivation
15:34level will go up which definitely will
15:37help me in completing the later tasks in
15:40sequence. This is the technique of eat
15:44that frog first. Again frog here refers
15:47to the most difficult task. This is a
15:51useful useful techniques for students.
15:54Students who study in school or in
15:57colleges.
15:58Friends, what happens that whenever we
16:00make our timetable, we are always aware
16:04of the subjects or the topics which are
16:08difficult for us which we find difficult
16:11to complete or to understand. And what
16:14we do we work on rest of the topics
16:17which are relatively easier. We complete
16:20them successfully. we s derive a sense
16:23of achievement that okay I have
16:25completed 80% of what I scheduled of
16:28course a very good performance but what
16:31happens the 20% which remains was the
16:34most difficult one and I very tactfully
16:38pushed it aside so that it doesn't harm
16:42my self-esteem that I could not do it
16:45rather I simply assume that okay I did
16:4880% it is a good uh achievement for the
16:51But what happens that difficult part
16:54keeps on accumulating and at the end of
16:57the semester at the end of the session
16:59we find that we haven't even touched
17:02that difficult section and now the
17:05problem is very big it and the level of
17:08stress we perceive is insurmountable. So
17:12in order to do away with this kind of
17:14procrastination
17:16towards the difficult topics we can use
17:19this particular techniques eat that frog
17:22first. The third uh technique is the
17:258020 rule. This is also known as the
17:28parto principle. Uh 8020 rule means uh
17:3480% results are achieved from 20%
17:38efforts that we do. the efforts which
17:41were really focused which were honest
17:44and uh where we
17:47uh we gave 100% of our caliber.
17:51So those 20% efforts are going to give
17:55us 80% results. Rest 80% efforts can
18:00give us results which make the 20% of
18:03the overall uh po scenario of our job or
18:08studies. So what can we do? We should
18:12try to identify those high impact
18:16activities and then we can plan those
18:19high impact activities in the time where
18:24we are most energetic and where we
18:27expect least distractions to happen.
18:32Then uh getting things done. This is
18:35another uh way of doing and managing
18:40task. And what it does it emphasizes
18:43capturing all tasks and ideas,
18:47clarifying them, organizing them into
18:49actionable steps and then reflecting on
18:54them regularly. Also, it asks to engage
18:58with them appropriately every day.
19:02What does it mean? It means that we have
19:07to carry out different types of jobs.
19:11For example, I'm a female. I am supposed
19:15to carry out certain responsibilities at
19:18home. I'm supposed to carry out certain
19:21responsibilities at my workplace. Okay?
19:24So when I wake up in the morning and I
19:28start thinking about my day,
19:32it is not that only uh assignments of
19:37work are important or only home
19:39assignments are important.
19:42I can have some home assignments and
19:44some work related assignments equally
19:47important for the day. So what will I
19:50do? I'm going to list both of them in
19:53separate sections. Okay, I can make two
19:56sections in my planner and one section
19:59will be dedicated to the home related
20:01assignment, the other section for the
20:02workrelated assignment. Now I know at
20:05what time I'll be available at home for
20:08those task and when I'll be at my
20:11workplace. So I have to make a schedule
20:16separately for the home assignments and
20:18then for the work rellated assignment
20:21and then I can decide priorities of
20:23these two categories separately. So
20:26instead of putting them or merging them
20:29together in one category and then
20:31juggling about um prioritizing home
20:35related task over work related
20:37activities or vice versa. If I find that
20:41I have to perform different
20:43responsibilities which belong to
20:45different domains of my life, I can
20:47create different categories of such
20:51prioritizing and uh you know goal
20:54setting things. Uh this will probably
20:57help me sorting the picture out and I
21:00clearly know that what are the actions
21:02to be taken to complete the task
21:05belonging to each category. Then there
21:08is another method which is known as
21:10rapid planning method. Rapid planning
21:14method means where uh we have to uh
21:18quickly think about the important
21:22aspects to be covered in the next few
21:25days and then we have to create a
21:27massive action plan. Everything is to be
21:31done quickly. If we are already
21:34having less time to complete more of the
21:38work
21:40then the Parkinson's law which posits
21:43that work expands to fulfill all the
21:47time available to do it. It is better to
21:51allocate less time than what do you
21:54think is required.
21:57It simply means that if I think I'm
22:00going to complete chapter 1 in 3 hours
22:04today, chapter 1 and the tasks related
22:09with chapter 1's will keep expanding
22:12themselves and they will fill the 3
22:16hours time which I have assigned for the
22:19completion of chapter one of suppose
22:21mathematics of English grammar of any
22:23subject
22:25rather At the end of 3 hours, I may
22:29wonder that I worked so hard and I have
22:33been working for the last 3 hours and
22:35still this this this segment is pending.
22:39It is still remains. Okay. But what what
22:43can I do? I have completely utilized 3
22:47hours which were available to me for the
22:50task and now I cannot spare more time to
22:54fulfill that particular task.
22:58Instead what Parkinson's law would
23:00suggest? Parkinson's law simply suggests
23:04that okay if you have 3 hours at hand
23:07and you have chapter 1 of mathematics to
23:10be completed within this 3 hours what do
23:13you do what should you do rather you
23:16should plan to complete it within 2
23:19hours
23:20and you will find that your uh effort
23:24your concentration your speed of reading
23:27your speed of doing is automatically
23:30increased to adjust the time frame and
23:33the uh amount of work which is assigned.
23:36And even if you are left with certain
23:40segments of chapter 1, you can have one
23:45hour extra at hand and you can easily
23:48accommodate those left out parts in this
23:53uh extra hour. So if you have 3 hours,
23:57plan for 2 hours and you will find that
24:00the work will expand itself to fulfill
24:04that extra hour also. But then you will
24:06not feel suffocated because you are
24:09still having time. Okay, this is the law
24:12of parkinsons.
24:15Then the pickle jar theory. You might
24:18have read this story shown on YouTube
24:21channels or repeatedly spoken by the you
24:26know motivational speakers also how to
24:29manage your time. Uh technically this
24:32incidence or this uh narration is known
24:34as the pickle jar theory. So what is
24:37there? There is a jar made up of glass.
24:40And what happens that uh somebody if
24:43puts rocks that is a bigger pieces of
24:46stones into it
24:49the jar will be filled with it. Then
24:51what the person does uh the person
24:55starts adding some pebbles the smaller
24:59uh stones into it. So those pebbles will
25:03go down and find their places between
25:05the empty spaces available
25:09uh between those rocky or bigger stones.
25:12So those pebbles will also be adjusted
25:15and then what happens? The jar is
25:18completely full but there are
25:20intermittent spaces available where
25:23between those big uh stones and between
25:26th those pebbles which we have already
25:28put into the jar. So if I start pouring
25:32some sand which are very minute
25:34particles, those particles will again go
25:37into the jar and they will also find
25:40their way and everything will be
25:42adjusted in the jar. But what if I try
25:45to do it the same thing the other way
25:48around? Initially I filled the jar with
25:51the sand completely and now if I start
25:56putting pebbles into it, the jar has no
25:59space to accommodate those pebbles and
26:03there is no question of accommodating
26:05the rocks which are the bigger stones
26:08because sand has left no space empty in
26:12the jar. So it uh you know refers to
26:18having the correct sequence of work.
26:21Remember the four quadrant approach that
26:24we adopted earlier.
26:26Take up the important and urgent things
26:28first. They are represented by the
26:30rocks. Then take up the urgent and not
26:35important task. Then important and not
26:38urgent task which are scheduled in your
26:40daily planners. And finally you can
26:43leave the unimportant and un uh and
26:46non-urgent task for others. So rocks are
26:50the most important things to be done.
26:52These are the must
26:55have things or the task that are that
26:58must be completed. Then the pebbles are
27:00the next important things and the sand
27:03are the least important things. So the
27:06planning your day in correct sequence is
27:08also important. Then task segmentation
27:12of course if the task assign or the
27:15ultimate goal is big for example you
27:18think that you have to uh come in flying
27:21colors you have to secure highest marks
27:24in MBA examination which is a 2-year
27:27program or
27:29a BA program which is a 4-year program
27:32whatever you have in your mind then th
27:35those four years must be broken into
27:38smaller pieces is that is what will you
27:41do in year 1, in year two, then in year
27:44three and year four. Then in the first
27:47year if this is your final goal, you can
27:50further split it up in for months. Okay?
27:53In the first month, I'll complete this
27:55part then the second month and so on for
27:58all the 12 months. Then one month can be
28:01divided into weeks and one week can be
28:04divided into your daily assignments. So
28:07this way we can break the big task into
28:11smaller segments, more manageable
28:14segments that can be taken up
28:17comfortably and successfully.
28:23When we are planning our day and we are
28:25adopting different techniques to manage
28:28uh our task successfully, it is also
28:31important to keep the distractions away
28:34so that our focus should not shift to
28:37unnecessary things. Rather, we should be
28:40able to give our 100% to the task which
28:43we are doing. So, what can we do in
28:46order to avoid distractions? First
28:49thing, please do not engage in
28:51multitasking. Of course, this is an era
28:53of multitasking and multitasking has now
28:56been uh portrayed as a very desirable
29:00trait. Of course, it is. Women are
29:03especially credited for doing multitask
29:06uh tasking and they are portrayed as
29:08being effective, efficient multitaskers.
29:11Of course, everything is true. But
29:13multitasking is for the tasks which
29:17require less cognitive effort not for
29:21those which requires full cognitive
29:24focus.
29:26So I can cook while talking to my friend
29:30but probably I cannot make my
29:32presentation or I cannot come up with
29:35effective solutions of a problem or
29:38maybe I cannot uh you know analyze the
29:41data while talking over phone about an
29:45interesting movie. Okay. So you have to
29:49identify the tasks which can be done
29:51simultaneously and keep those tasks for
29:54multitasking sessions and you have to
29:57identify the task which require full
30:00cognitive attention and you have to keep
30:03them for separate sessions and they must
30:07be taken up sequentially instead of
30:11simultaneously. So multitasking is a
30:14capacity no doubt but one must be aware
30:17of the task which can be taken up in
30:21this manner.
30:23This is also governed by one's own
30:25ability to do certain types of tasks
30:28more easily as compared to other type of
30:31tasks. Okay. So if I'm learning
30:34something new I cannot afford
30:37multitasking. But if I'm performing
30:40something which I'm highly efficient
30:43with up to a level that the task has
30:46become an automated behavior for me. For
30:49example, riding a bicycle. So I can ride
30:52a bicycle thinking about a lot many
30:54other things. No issues. But if I'm
30:57learning something new, if I'm learning
30:59the bicycle for day one, I have to keep
31:01my focus entirely on the handle.
31:04Otherwise, I will fell down. I will
31:06never be able to learn it properly. So
31:08multitasking is a good quality. It is an
31:11essential quality. Nowadays what is
31:14required is to segregate the task into a
31:19category that can be taken up
31:21simultaneously and keep those task for
31:24multitasking sessions whereas others can
31:27be taken up one by one giving them full
31:31attention when we are doing those task.
31:34Then we can minimize interruptions uh by
31:37uh turning our mobile phones to airplane
31:41mode or uh putting them to do not
31:44disturb mode and thenuling a specific
31:47times to check emails or messages so
31:49that we do not feel a craving to check
31:52our mobile phone for each and every
31:54notification as soon as it comes. Uh
31:58then there is a concept of deep work
32:01which refers to an ability to focus on
32:04the task without distraction.
32:08Whenever we are taking up a cognitively
32:11demanding task and we require a high
32:15quality output for that
32:18uh we can delegate certain task to our
32:21team members to our householders to our
32:24family members to our children and we
32:28don't have to do everything
32:32uh by ourselves. Okay. Sometimes we
32:35should be ready to say no very politely
32:38but uh a little bit assertively if I
32:41think that it is becoming little too
32:43much or it is uh not reasonable to
32:47engage myself in a particular task.
32:50Similarly, we must do regular auditing
32:54of our time. We must reflect upon how
32:58much time we have allotted to which
33:01activity. what are the activities where
33:05maximum time is being consumed and how
33:09much result it is giving how productive
33:12those activities are. So this kind of
33:15real uh time auditing
33:19and reflecting upon the way we consume
33:22our time uh can help us a lot in
33:25identifying the spots where the time is
33:28being wasted so that we can check it and
33:31we can have more productive time to
33:34complete our assignments successfully.
33:37We can organize our workspace physical
33:40workspace as well as the digital
33:42workspace. Digital workspace means our
33:45laptop or the tablet or mobile phone
33:48wherever we work. Okay. And physical
33:50workspaces of course our cupboard, our
33:53tables, our our offices wherever we
33:57work. Okay. Then we can build habits
34:01not to postpone our assignments for
34:06later time. Okay. Uh this also helps us
34:09overcoming procrastination. And if I
34:11have scheduled something for today, I
34:14must try my level best to fulfill or
34:17complete that task at the scheduled time
34:21unless something really uh important
34:25happens which keeps me away from
34:27completing my schedule. Right? Uh
34:31procrastination is a big thing and uh we
34:35must focus on strategies to overcome
34:39this tendency. Now what are those
34:41strategies? First of all, we must
34:43understand the causes. Why we try to
34:46push some tasks aside realizing their
34:51importance? We know that the tasks are
34:54really important and they have to be
34:57done. We will only be doing them. Nobody
35:00else will come to help us doing that.
35:03And still we engage in procrastination.
35:06So what is the basic cause? Do we have
35:09fear of failure? Do we find ourselves
35:12incapable of taking up those task?
35:15If yes, try to learn this required
35:19skills which helps you complete the task
35:23easily or you can also take guidance and
35:26help from those who have successfully
35:29done such kind of things before. Do we
35:33have a you know uh a concern of
35:36perfectionism? No. No. This is not
35:38perfect. I should also try something
35:40better. I should try something better
35:42and better. No, no, this is also not
35:44good. I should look for something
35:46better. Many people do like this. So,
35:48they simply keep planning and tearing
35:51off pages because they are not satisfied
35:54with their plans or they are not
35:56satisfied with whatever they have in
35:58their hands. So they want more and more
36:01and more and therefore they keep
36:03preparing only without indulging into
36:06meaningful actions which can deliver
36:09some good results for them or I can
36:12simply have an aversive feeling towards
36:14that task because the task is too boring
36:17or the task is very lengthy. Uh for
36:21example, if you have to uh really write
36:25uh 50 pages in your holiday homework,
36:28right? So 50 pages writing, this is too
36:31boring. So what can we do? We can make a
36:35more doable goal of writing two pages a
36:39day. So 50 and two these two numbers are
36:43very different from each other. So if I
36:45reduce it from 50 to two, suddenly my
36:48mind has a feeling that okay two is
36:51manageable. Perhaps I can try different
36:54things to make it more interesting.
36:56Maybe I I write with different pencils
36:58or different pens so that every time I
37:01start doing this it gives me a feeling
37:04of something new, something different.
37:07uh things can uh things like that can be
37:10tried to reduce the feeling of aversion
37:13if I have and then I can use techniques
37:17like self-compassion focusing on the
37:20next action or making temptations less
37:23convenient. Sometimes what happens that
37:26I simply engage in distractive
37:29activities because they are readily
37:32available. Right? So if I am working on
37:35my mobile phone definitely mobile phone
37:38is a tool which gives way to many many
37:41distractors very easily. You you have to
37:44simply scroll the window and you will be
37:46doing something else. So instead of
37:48working on mobile phones if I work on
37:50the laptop and if I do not require
37:54internet to download informations or to
37:57connect to my teammates it is import it
38:00would be helpful really helpful if I
38:02switch off the uh Wi-Fi connectivity for
38:05the time being if I'm focusing on
38:07something uh producing some drafts or
38:10doing some data analysis or writing some
38:13reports where I do not need constant uh
38:16inputs from other team members. Right?
38:19So the less distractions the more
38:22productivity. This is the basic rule and
38:25this also keeps the procrastination
38:28under control as well. So let us have a
38:31quick recap of what we have learned out
38:34of this module. Uh effective time
38:37management is of course related to job
38:39performances, academic achievements and
38:42well-being of the individual. It reduces
38:45stress by helping timely completion of
38:49important assignments and the landscape
38:52of time management strategies is really
38:54big and varied. So every individual has
38:58something to choose from it according to
39:01his own problems. Okay. So here are the
39:05references which you can refer to if you
39:07want to learn more about this particular
39:10thing. uh you can design some practice
39:14exercises according to your own
39:16requirements also.
39:18Thank you very much for your patient
39:20listening. Thank you.
