Vision) means taking responsibility
for attitudes & actions.

to choose their response,making
them more a product of their
values & decisions rather than
their moods & conditions.
HABIT-- TWO
BEGIN WITH THE END
IN MIND.
Imagine your funeral and
listen to what you would
like the eulogists to say
about you. This should
reveal exactly what
matters most to you in your
life. Use this frame of
reference to make all your
day-to-day decisions so
that you are working
toward your most
meaningful life goals.
Habit 2: Begin with the end in
mind
The habit of personal leadership means to
begin each day with a clear understanding
of your desired direction & destination.
Effective people realise that things are
created mentally before they are created
physically.
They write a mission statement or a
purpose statement & use it as a frame of
reference for making decisions.

HABIT--THREE
PUT FIRST THINGS
FIRST.
To manage our lives
effectively, we must keep
our mission in mind,
understand what's
important as well as
urgent, and maintain a
balance between what we
produce each day and our
ability to produce in the
future. Think of the
former as putting out fires
and the latter as personal
development.

TIME MANAGEMENT ! WHY?
Everybody has to manage their time at
home or at work.It makes the working day
more productive and leisure time more
fulfilling.
How you currently manage your time,deal
with paperwork,communicate in a time-
efficient way and help others manage their
time ,decides your efficiency.
Matter of Choice and Choice That
Matters -- Have you ever felt this way?
I need more time !
There is too much to do. I want to enjoy more.
I never have time for myself.
My friends & family want more of me-but how do I manage that
?
I face several crises because I procrastinate, but I procrastinate
because I am always in Crisis.
Balance between personal life & work is lost-
There is too much of stress What do I choose ? PICK
ESSENTIALS - CUT NON ESSENTIALS
Our Relationship With Time
Wisdom of life is the elimination of all
Non- essentials
Life is a simple duality, essentials and
nonessentials.Things to do, and things not
to do.
Key is to understand our temperament and
making a choice.
Remember clock, but do not
forget compass
We can choose our action but not its
consequences.
In a principle-centered approach traditional time
management principle of faster, harder, smarter
work transcendsand instead of CLOCK it
provides you with a COMPASS.
More important than how fast you are going, is
where you are headed. 24 hours-in right direction.

Techniques for time Management
Work Smart , Not Just Hard
Plan - The more time we spend planning a project, the less
Total time is needed for it. Deal with opportunities rather than
problems.
Concentrate - Do not try to do too many things at once
Take breaks- Switch for a few minutes from mental task to
something physical- light exercise, walk or a shift in position.
Avoid clutter- Make generous use of waste paper basket.
Dont be perfectionist- Strive for excellence and not for
perfection.
Learn to say NO- Decline tactfully but firmly.
Dont procrastinate- Analyze risks & rewards
Some more tips before it is our
TIME to go!!
Set aside time each day to review
and prioritize demands on your
time
Have some thinking time,too.
Split the day into 30 minute
chunks
Have some quiet time each day
Store energy for home life &
leisure
Review filing system regularly.
Keep all chance meetings short,
by standing through.
Position a clock in your office so
it is visible to you & visitors
Habit 3 : Put first things first
The essence is organise & execute around priorities.
Time management is really a MISNOMER-the
challenge is not to manage time but to manage
ourselves.
Instead of focussing on things & time,focus on
preserving & enhancing relationships & on
accomplishing results.
To leverage our time,we should give less attention to
activities that are urgent but unimportant & devote
more time to those things that are important but not
necessarily urgent.
Urgent things act on us, & we usually react to them,
~ WE MUST BE PROACTIVE.

constantly seeks mutual benefit in all
human interactions.

not a competitive arena.
