Every month students participate in various mentoring sessions. July focused on time management.
On July 17th, we had a life coaching session on the topic of time management. We team leaders (Angela, Tulsi, Dhirendra and Arun) chose this topic as it will be really helpful as a student to know how to manage time effectively in our day-to-day life.
In this session, we discussed what time really is. We briefly described the importance of time. Time management is the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between various activities. We also learnt that effective time management enables you to work smarter, not harder, so that you get more done in less time, even when time is tight and pressures are high.
We shared our opinion about procrastination, smart decisions and delegation. For learning more, we did an activity “prioritizing task” where we had cups of water and stones. We had to manage it according to the priority such that it needs to fit in the cup. Every team did it so well and we also did a role play where we portrayed two students and their behaviors. The drama shows how we can lack motivation and destroy our life. After the drama, we did the next activity that was writing down what we learnt as action, reflection, planning and learning.
This session was very helpful and gave us a lot of knowledge on how we need to utilize each and every second of our lives. Effective time management leads to improved productivity, reduced stress, and better work-life balance. By mastering time management, you can achieve more with less effort and create more free time for yourself.
