Time Management Chart

How many times have you heard people say “if only I have time”? Having not enough time is the most common excuse of not committing to a goal or in making changes. You might need to start an exercise program to lose weight or have wanted to join a dance class, but you always find yourself saying that you don’t have the time to do those things. Stop making an excuse and start finding time to do what you love or needed to do.

Time flies whether we enjoy it or not. Most people spent a huge time in doing unimportant things. Imagine how many hours you spent in being stuck in traffic or in a line doing nothing but stare at people. These are only some time wasters which are better spent on doing things. The next time you are caught in a traffic, find a way to make use of you time efficiently. Instead of stressing yourself out in the midst of the traffic, you can listen to an audio book or get a head start by planning your day. These are only some of examples of how you can find more time for yourself.

A time management chart is an accountability tool for people who want to know where their time went. It is a weekly schedule where they can record the activities they did on a particular time. It’s like having a diary, but instead of recording your memories, record the amount of time doing a particular activity. You can use a format similar to a weekly planner wherein the times are arranged in rows and the days are in columns. Or you can simply make your own. Every day, for a week, summarize your records. Determine how much time you spent doing things like watching TV, partying, eating, reading magazines, doing your work, having a coffee. So at the end of the week you’ll be able to know how much time you averagely spend doing these different activities. You might be shock to know how much time you spent on watching television shows.

You can get a good picture on how productive you are in spending your time with a time management chart. This can increase your awareness on how many hours you waste on activities that are not really important. You might be telling people that you don’t have time to exercise but unaware that you spend an average of 4 hours watching TV. With awareness, you can now start to change things. You’ll be able to find the time you needed to accommodate the things you have always wanted to do.

You can’t stop time from flying, but you can set a path where your time flies into. The time management chart can help you find more time, just when you think you don’t have enough it. Imagine your life doing the things that you have dreaming to do. So the next time you find yourself saying that you don’t have time, chances are that you are only unaware that you do have the time.
