Time is a precious gift given from above so there is a vast importance in giving value to our time. But how effectively do we manage our time? Are we using it wisely in spite of busy schedule or we neglect to manage our time effectively.

In education time is indeed a great importance because of the demand of work which included classroom management, paper works, personal matters and more. The ability of an individual to effectively manage his time is important. An effective time management can lead to a productive life which is less in stress and in addition adds triumphs in life. As educators how do we inculcate in the young minds of our students the value of time? Does it really matter or we are only focused in what is written the book.

Here are some of the benefits of time why there should be an emphasis in teaching the importance of time. First, is it reduces stress. Through an effective time management you foresee ahead of time your to do list and you make a tangible progress in your work thus it avoids a feeling of worry since you are getting things done. Second, it gives you more time. A proper time management gives you an additional time which allows you to enjoy your day for other errands and other personal pursuits. Third, more opportunities. A person managing time his time wisely gains less wasted time. A person with good time management skills appears to an organization more desirable and productive. Lastly, ability to reach ones goal.

In recent observations that have been done, what has been lacking in a lot of students is a good time management. There are variety of reasons why students fail in time management. As a matter of fact, this includes lack of motivation since they are occupied in other things and lack of emphasis in its importance. Teachers play a vital role in stressing the importance of time management in every pupil.

A community that values time and its importance will uplift the society and provide innovative results which in fact will contribute to the betterment of the society ready to face any issues and challenges that will come along the way. Time running as one says but using it wisely is not a waste.
