Time is important. We cannot bring it back once wasted. Therefore, we must use it in an effective and efficient way.
My friend shared how she managed her time online. I was inspired also. I get to start also my online time management, focus more on my priorities and separate also some which are not that so important. It was really effective. She told me also to close my Facebook account, also not to browse social media while working online. This truly speed up my online works. I list in my notebook all the tasks I have to accomplish everyday, sort of to-do-list. I am really a busy person and this massively helped me because I tend to rattle sometimes because of so much works to do. Though very busy, I get also some time to relax or even open social networking sites for a while.
With the introduction of my friend about online time management, what comes first into my mind was how our teacher during my first year college taught me how to make my budget time schedule. I got to appreciate what she taught much more now. I did try doing a budget time schedule also during school days but I wasn't able to follow it. I do not know why. Maybe I am just too lazy doing such and I just want to let things happen the way it is or in a natural way. I believe that success in school may not be achieved by following a budget time schedule rather it could be attained if we let "school comes before play". Following budget time schedule tend to imprison me in school (this is only in my part) and I believe it is much great if I just let things happen, explore, experience sort of things, enjoy, know my priorities, study hard and make actions for my mistakes. This had pretty much worked for me.
On the other hand, prior to working online, time management is highly recommended. As a blogger and at the same time forum poster and a head of a particular PTC team in Philippines, I do really have to take into consideration online time management. Believe me, it worked!

Time is essentially an important part of our life, of course, it is irreversible and we really have to manage it quite well. And i agree with the way you've set your priorities as this would really determine the amount of time to spend on a particular necessity or what have you. Just keep on doing what your doing, prioritize what's important, and spend time wisely.

Also, we must never give up for us to attain our goals in life.

Congratulations! Not everyone have the discipline to follow rigidly their time schedule. Some may slack off often times and forget to follow their schedule, thus messing up their time management. I myself lacks that discipline. I envy you.

Yes, I think it is just a matter of discipline. I mean, we must know our priorities. After knowing such, we must set some things to do to be able to reach our desired objective. Additionally, we must love what we do.

Time management always work, i'm already using it since in college, i'm so used in managing my time because of my status when i'm still studying, now a days my skill in time management helps me a lot to manage my time, i can easily make a plan in a minute considering the remaining time, i can suddenly cancel a meeting for the sake of more prosperous meeting, i was able to think in advance on what will go to happen, because as i plan, i plan first the time, the possible out come and possible hindrance, so i were able to know how much time i will going to spend when somethings wrong with my plan.
When we are used of a thing it is really easy for us to manage it. Specially when we are using it in our daily lives.

Time management will always be different for different people. For a businessman, there is a certain way of managing time. For a government employee working from 9 to5, he need not manage time like a businessman. He has got more time and he can also afford to waste time. For a farmer, the case is totally different because he has no fixed work schedule.

Time management most definitely is something that is very important and there are far too many people that don't have any clue on how to properly manage their time. That said, I think that I've gotten pretty good with managing my time effectively. This was something that started for me when I was in college and many of the strict study habits that I held for myself became things that I made myself do when it came to my life now.
I might not be a student now, but I still do try to keep myself to a pretty strict schedule.

I always believe time management is important. I would always see to it that I would prioritize those important things over those less important. We shouldn't confuse urgent things as being important.
Making schedule and following it is one of the best principles that we should follow. Similarly, multi-tasking is a good thing to take into consideration.
On the other hand, social networking sites are one of the sites that I would never give up as long as I am working online. I get views for my articles from these sources. I also get some of my referrals from these sites.
Online earning success can be achieved if we will apply these four important factors: hard work, patience,proper strategy, and time management.
Have a nice day!

Great! Strategy must be paired with hard work in order to reach your goals. We must learn how to balance also everything. Time also should never be wasted. We must also learn to love what we are doing in order to produce a fruitful result.

Good thing that you learn to appreciate and apply the value of time management. This is the problem of many people nowadays. What makes it worse is that because they cannot manage their time properly some people are also affected. It creates a ripple effect in the process. Having checklist of your itinerary can also be a big help in budgeting your time. You can have some categories like putting a deadline to it, a list for urgent, another for a long-term action. It is all up to you to create your own checklist and make sure that you are going to follow it religiously.

Hi Kaichoukebz!
I do believe that prioritizing things helps in time management. Doing tasks one by one has better results and quality of work than doing a lot of things at the same and sacrifices output quality.
I am still having a hard time putting that belief into action because I am a kind of person who likes things be done immediately. So scheduler sometimes isn't working for me much effectively because I tend to ignore or not follow it. Even though I put reminder notes in fridge's door or installed a big calendar on the wall, I would still end up multi-tasking and feel frustrated of not finishing them on time. I don't like to wait more than making a task wait to be done.
I hope I can try online time management application because I into online things nowadays but haven't tried new softwares yet. I would try to search one that could best fit my personality. Or perhaps change my multitasking personality first before engaging in a new time management plan.
Thanks for this Kaichoukebz ;)
