INTRODUCTION
Time Management topic choosing very significantly because today’s scenario is very demanding regarding time constraints or best utilization of each n every time slot. But in opposite to this, no one has time to spend with their near & dear ones, even though there is no balancing in each & every time zones i.e. Sleeping time reduced, working time increased, self-evaluation time avoiding, study time obsolete, etc. etc.
I am not saying this is the whole picture but confident to tell you this is the common picture, even though we are also one of them. Now question is, what will be the best time managing techniques?
BRIEF ABOUT PAST TECHNIQUES
There are lots of books and articles written by many authors about time management styles with different techniques, although all are rightly captured the areas. But in the large segments, only want to understand these techniques but not interested to make a change in their own daily routine. So again we come back on the same question, what will be the best benchmarking or most convincing techniques? For that, no one can neglect or denied to swallow those ongoing techniques i.e. daily work management (DWM), making a to-do list, be priorities tasks, track your time, rank your task, multitasking, etc. etc.
I am also gone through these techniques as well as many books, articles and took much training from best trainers so-called, but with the same story returned back to normal, not because of those are not ok or these are bad technique, but I am not convinced for a long period. After a short span dropped due to not matching with my priorities or daily routine, those becoming a burden for me as because inner soul not convinced. NOW, what will be the best way to understand the time management so that these techniques will work in their own glory. Here is the answer let’s discuss in the next section.
GUIDELINES FOR A BEST TECHNIQUE
Due to my regular habit of reading books and continued study, I came in touch with many books i.e. Technical, Managerial, Motivational, Spiritual, Holy, etc. So out of these, One of the most prominent with many great life lessons is “Bhagwat Geeta” which is now become my favorite holy book. I had gone through many motivational speaker’s speeches/shows and most of them refer only “Bhagwat Geeta” about clearing your doubt and solving the problem. So a few years back I am starting reading “Bhagwat Geeta – Shadhak Sanjivani -Hindi Teeka” by Swami Ramsukhdas Ji published through Geeta Press, Gorakhpur thoroughly sloke by spoke with proper explanations, you all can’t imagine, my all queries and doubts clearing one by one as moving forward to reading this.
Regarding Time Management, there is clearly defined how you have to spend/utilize your time including in which zone. In Bhagwat Geeta at Adhyay 6 Sloke 17, it described time management very efficiently with each time zones in detail, from which I convinced completely. Let’s discuss in brief to understand the right technique of Time Management………
|अध्याय-6| स्लोक-17 |
युक्ताहारविहारस्य युक्तचेष्टस्य कर्मसु |
युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दु:खहा ||
दुःखोंका नाश करनेवाला योग तो यथायोग्य आहार और विहार करनेवालेका कर्मोंमें यथायोग्य चेष्टा करनेवालेका तथा यथायोग्य सोने और जागनेवालेका ही सिद्ध होता है।
Those who are temperate in eating and recreation, balanced in work, and regulated in sleep, can mitigate all sorrows by practicing Yog
In this sloka, mainly four things are told, sleeping with food containing dietary action and waking up with food. These four things have to be considered in how the seeker should be used. We have twenty-four hours and we have four tasks in front of us. Dividing twenty-four hours gives six-six hours for each work, such as …
- Dieting i.e. eating & walking, six hours for these bodily essential tasks.
- Six hours for livelihood related work like karma i.e. agricultural, business, job.
- six hours for sleep
- six hours for awakening i.e. chanting means for Bhagavatpraya.
These four things also have two departments of two things, one department is earning, and the other department is expenditure.
Livelihood related work (Yukta Karma) & awakening (Yukta Jagana) are two of these earning things. Containing dietary and containing sleep are two of these expenditure things. Earnings and Expenditure – We have two types of capital for these two departments (1) Money Cereal (worldly wealth) & (2) Age.
When considering the first CAPITAL MONEY CEREAL, then earning more will go on, but spending more than earning will not work. That is why, instead of spending six hours in a dietary meal, work only for four hours, and the farming business should be put in the first eight hours. It means that by reducing the time of dieting, take more time for livelihood related work.
If we consider the second CAPITAL AGE, then the age is spent in sleep. Therefore, do not spend six hours in sleep and work only for four hours, and devote eight hours in the Bhajan meditation period. It means that the less work is done by sleeping, the more time you spend sleeping, the Lord’s bhajan should be spent. The quantity of this Uparjuna (means of worship) should be increasing day by day, because we have not come here to earn worldly wealth, etc., only to attain the divine.
That is why one should devote more time to worship as much time as he can from other times. Secondly, remember God even while doing livelihood and remember God even while sleeping. While sleeping, it should be understood that you have done bhajan while sitting on your feet and now you have to do bhajan while lying down. Come to sleep while doing hymns (Prayer) while lying down, but do not have to sleep.
In this way, when the time for reciting the GOD’s heedfulness is over, then get up and do meditation for your inner soul and while doing the spiritual concentration, if you are engaged in the work, then the work will be a goddess good work.
Now at the conclusion, We better understand which zone is beneficial with how much time spend on that. So now you can take any proven techniques but with the remembrance of your time zone as defined above through Bhagwat Geeta than only you can move forward to take with your inner soul convincing.
