Be it adjusting television volume or counting number of stairs we climb – A common tendency among all of us is being obsessed with round figures. And this becomes especially true when we have to do a particular work.
You decided, for example to start your work at 4:30. However, because you were talking on phone, you realized that you have already passed that time line. What would you do then? Something that all of us would do given this situation – decide to start at 5:00pm instead. You lost 25 precious minutes of your day.
In such cases we lose time even after planning it. We all have a habit to round off the time that we plan. This tendency is really harmful for anyone aspiring to be successful. It’s not important to just know the value of time, its even more important to use it efficiently.
This also applies to the other end. If you had decided to work till 6:00pm you will get up at 6. If your work gets completed say 10 minutes before six, you will get up. But if it demands extra time, you’ll still get up at 6 and plan to do the remainder later. It is not necessary to have round figures all the time, especially when it is wasting your time or making you lazy.
This kind of tendency not only wastes your time, but it also makes you less energetic and enthusiastic towards your job. This deviates you from your goal and destination. Therefore, be firm on your schedule and abide by the time you fix for your work. Even if it gets a little late, don’t make it too late.
It doesn’t matter you start your work at 8:00 or 8:10, all that matters is YOU START.
