For a person who working in area of Training program or event management, s\he always has a hectic day, no one bother if you have any personal issue or pain, or even you had a breakfast or not. But good note is that when you are arranging various programs you get a chance to meet various leaders and people, discussions with them which adds value to your day’s positive thinking account and enrichment of experiences. As the leaders in these program always talks everything from Growth to hindrances & ethics to empowerment.
What I observed with all people who were in leadership role, They were coming exactly 5 minute before schedule. No calling to people for coming in venue or no extra breaks. Everything was happening smoothly.
Punctuality & Time management is a quality of leader. But I find this is the most essential quality of each individual in his growth of for his leadership development. Even I found one of the faculty who was there in classroom in spite of all participants present in the classroom he was waited till exact 02:00 hrs to start the training program at exact time. No before a minute or after minute.
I am started bit reflecting more about my punctually habit, surprisingly I found that the way I use to punctual five years before, or attending the functions or the coming to office. I am not so nowadays. I am started becoming more lethargic day by day. Just take example of my timings to office. I was always planning to have my card swipe between 7:45 to 7:50 am. However if I make a graph or statistics I was always late i.e. I was coming to office between 08.05 to 8:15. This was something self analyses.
When I was going to have meeting with bosses, I was never punctual. When I decide to go home early, I was not punctual; even I know if I have to attend the marriage of any friend I have reached there at exact time or after marriage. Isn’t it funny?
These were the small things where I was not able to show a performance on punctually index. And I found that in the time management technique one of the skill is punctually. I have read several articles on the subject but still not able to work on it why this happen was simple reason – overconfidence and lethargic
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said
“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do”
There was consistent ignorance about this habit, which was one of the barrier in self development.
Thus, decided apply the time management principles. Let’s see that how I can become more punctual about time. After going through those knowing which were needed to apply , I found out the major reasons of not managing the time. This might not be common for all but was true with me. Simple reasons like below which may have complex solutions - 1) Too many things at once, 2) Inability to say “no”, 3) Stress and fatigue , 4) Unclear objectives , 5) Disorganization 6) Interruptions 7) Periods of inactivity 8) All work and no play
And I remembered suddenly was a Simple Funda of 6Ps .which were all about time management and punctuality and planning.
6Ps = Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.
Believing on about funda,started on acting on each things and now i am getting innovative answer. like below below :
About Meeting punctuality
I was talking with one leader about on a subject of adhering meeting punctuality,
What is a reaction, if the person to whom we have given a time to meeting and he is not coming on time? What is state of our mind and how we should deal with this situation?
There is circle of concern for person not coming on time but for the circle of control or influence is simple, We got a quick answer that give the time of meeting before 15 minutes of meeting. Go with in the meeting room with an article in hand.
- If the person is arriving late, we can finish up with article, -
- If the person is arriving on the time then well and good.
Simple solution for time management and peace of mind .. Isn't it ?
