A Great Art - Time Management
by sanjeev reddy on Apr 15, 2007 01:44 PM   Permalink

I am in complete harmony with what Moninder has to say about Time Management.Most of us, who have a decent education background and dont want to miss the fun graduate in the same way.I did my bachelors from Ramaiaha and just like every pretentious engineer , i had a habit of procasting things till the last day.Even the books are bought in the last 15 days of exams and then we stress out to get good marks, though i completed my grads with an avg 70% which is not good as per the bangalore goes. The same pretentious fellow gets a job in India , its a fun to work for first 1-2 year of carrer.We made every conscious effort to transform our workplace to college.And, things always went well, since most of the work which you get in software during the first 1-2 year is trivial.During all this part, i followed the same routine, getting up at 10 and then rushing to office at 11. However, the real test came when i was deputed to Sanfranciso.As usual, it comes naturally to me to be in office late and then rushing to finish my work.I always missed my 10 am meeting and get a reason for not making it up.As in college, we would struggle in last phase of our testing(UAT) to complete out work to perfection.Though i admit i work hard but didnot gave any importance to time. And also i didn't wanted to miss fun in Sanfrancisco and my daily Gym.Things start getting worse for me as i was not able to balance my work, life and social events.I had my coworker, who was married and who too did everything which i crave,but he did those in time. Then i decided to take a back seat, and started priortizing my time.When you work in such an environment, where people value every second , you tend to appreciate them in different context. I am still learning the art, and i believe with the necessary hardwork and an effective time-managment skill ,
I would achieve what i always desired.
