Those that have made to be successful people in the society have one common feature that indeed distinguishes them from the rest- they have a very good way of managing time.
Many people actually fail because they are unable to make use of their time to accomplish the things that they plan to do.
There is never a good plan, without good time management.
A good planner is also a good time manager. The following mistakes are made by many people in relation to time.
1. Taking more tasks than you can handle
You are likely to fail in time management if you take in too much than you can handle. You have got to learn to do delegation here and there to avoid stressing yourself up with uncompleted tasks. You will also need to say no to tasks that you may not consider a priority, or they are of little importance as per your prudent estimation.
2. Engaging in low priority activities
Not every time spent will be quality and not every activity equals productivity. What this means is that you will have to prioritize to know which time consuming activities will be necessary, and which ones will merely mean wastage of time.
3. Avoiding breaks
There are those who keep working all through. Time management should give room for breaks or periods of rest. There should be time to relax and do what you like and not programmed in your time table.
4. Avoiding to align time with goals
You will need to be aware that time actually go hand in hand with goal setting. Your goals will in most cases dictate the way you will spend your time.
A good goal setter must also be a good time manager to succeed.

That was of great help in fact not just to for me but, helped as a consultant in the company.

these are really nice tips, thnaks for sharing with us.
Marine, you dont know how much this post means to me. I am an extensive time waster and you would not believe I can waste time by just sitting idle for hours together. I liked your first point very much. Taking more than what I can handle will really make me to feel serious and stop wasting time. Also I think getting into extra financial commitments will just take away your laziness cause you have to earn more to meet those requirements.
Taking more tasks than you can handle is one great tip. That way we keep ourselves occupied and end of the day something productive would have been achieved. Thanks for writing this and helping people like me who always feels bored.
Remember always to pushback if someone is asking too much of you. This is really good stuff though, thanks for the post.
