Soul n Peace

again into your account the next day as well. However, if any balance remains unspent, there is no provision for carrying it forward to the next day. The bank gives an undertaking to honour this commitment indefinitely provided you are able to finish the amount each day.  

What would you do? Draw out each rupee, of course! The good news is that each of us has this account in the bank called TIME! Every morning there is a credit of 86400 seconds and every night whatever we have failed to invest wisely during the day is written off, and is lost forever. There is no carry forward or overdraft of time. Each day there is a fresh opening balance and each night the day’s record is erased. If you fail to use the daily deposit, the loss is all yours as it’s not possible to turn the clock back. There is no drawing against tomorrow. You must live in the present on today’s “time” deposit. If you have invested wisely you would get good health, wealth and happiness as a return on your investment.

The clock is ticking so make the most of today!

Along with clear goals the second pillar of my theory is this interesting concept of time management. The questions “where we wish to go or what we wish to do?” help us define clear goals in life. Setting clear goals is not an end in itself but must be followed by time bound action plans. However without proper time management it is impossible to draw up time bound action plans.

Often people are heard remarking, “There’s no time. I am very busy these days.” We tend to excuse our inability to do things by blaming time or rather the lack of time in our life. In that case my question is, “What do you do with your time? Where does your time run away?” In 1999 Mr. Mohan Kapur of LMI introduced me to the time activities chart. Later on I saw the same chart being actually practiced by many successful people. Dr. Stephen Covey has written a book revolving around these principles titled, “ First Things First”.
