Draft of my persuasive speech

Nowadays, people always talk about time flies. Do not have enough time to doing this and that. Time is gold. Time is money. But how many of us know how to use time wisely?

What is urgent in your life and what is important to your life are often very different things.

Is there anything we can do? If we all have 24 hours in a day, how do we actually use them more effectively?

The answer is a time management. 

Social ecologist Peter F. Drucker once said: 

“Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.” 

Never is this truer than when describing the importance of time management skills for people.

Effective time management doesn't mean doing more things or doing them more quickly.  Effective time management means getting more of the important work done in a day. 

Good time management leads to improved efficiency and productivity, less stress, and more success in life.

Do you manage your time wisely?  Well, today I introduce you some useful tips:

• Eliminate half-work and focus deeply.
• Do the most important thing first.
• Stick to your schedule and build the habit, no matter how small the accomplishment.

They can help you to develop good time management skills. 

In our age of constant distraction, it's stupidly easy to split our attention between what we should be doing and what society bombards us with. Usually we're balancing the needs of messages, emails, and to-do lists at the same time that we are trying to get something accomplished. It's rare that we are fully engaged in the task at hand.

This division of time and energy may be called “half-work.”

I have some very often examples, and I'm sure all of us do these: 

• You start writing a report, but stop randomly to check your phone for no reason or to open up Instagram or Twitter.
• Your mind wanders to your email inbox while you're on the phone with someone.

Regardless of where and how you fall into the trap of half-work, the result is always the same: you're never fully engaged in the task at hand, you rarely commit to a task for extended periods of time, and it takes you twice as long to accomplish half as much.

The best way to overcome it is to block out significant time to focus on one project and eliminate everything else:

We carve out a few hours (or even an entire work day) to deep dive on an important project. We'll leave phone in another room and shut down email, Instagram, and Twitter.

This complete elimination of distractions is the only way to get into deep, focused work and avoid fragmented sessions where you're merely doing half-work.How much more could you achieve if you did the work you needed to do, the way you needed to do it, and eliminated the half-work, half-wandering that we fill most of our days with?

Disorder and chaos tend to increase as your day goes on. At the same time, the decisions and choices that you make throughout the day tend to drain your willpower. You're less likely to make a good decision at the end of the day than you are at the beginning.

If there is something important that you need to do, then you do it first.

If you do the most important thing first, then you’ll never have a day when you didn’t get something important done. By following this simple strategy, you will usually end up having a productive day, even if everything doesn't go to plan. If you actually do the most important thing first each day, it is the only productivity tip you'll ever need.

The final and the usefull tip is stick to your schedule and build the habit, no matter how small the accomplishment.

When it comes to doing important work over the long–term, following a schedule is much more effective.

To counteract the unplanned distractions that occur and overcome the tendency to be pulled off track, try to put the schedule first and not the scope. Finish something today, even if the scope is smaller than you anticipated.

No matter what the circumstance, you know you're going to finish today's task. That's how little goals become lifetime habits.

Remember!!!!

Habits that are learned when young are hard to change the older you become.

Each of us has the same 24 hours in a day, but some of us manage to get more accomplished because we use time more efficiently. This is the difference between successful and responsible people and others who don’t value time.

 As I said before - Good time management leads to improved efficiency and productivity, less stress, and more success in life.

Once William Penn said a magnificent words: 

“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.”

For me, it is a best quote that makes me think of how we manage our time. I urge you to think about it and make an effort to change your life for the better!
