Time management
What is time management?
The skill of taking action for the right reason at the right time in the right way
Excessive and chronic inability to manage time effectively may be a result of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Diagnostic criteria includes: A sense of underachievement, difficulty getting organized, trouble getting started, many projects going simultaneously and trouble with follow-through...and it can be the result of the complexes or the practical difficulties due to the physical disabilities.We have things we want to accomplish, and life doesn't wait around. So how do we get a hold of time and make it work for us, especially when we have limited energy due the physical problems.
What I would recommend my friends here, is:
Make a list of small targets that you want to achieve. Next make a list of five areas of your life that are most important to you and/or you want to improve. This might include: financial, family, career, home, and fitness. Next to each of these categories write down the activities you need to do to support those areas. Try to space out tasks that will be the most physically exhausting, rather than tackle them all in one day. Block out ample time for rest after activities that tend to be especially tiring. While making out those lists, see which activities can be delegated to other people. Sometimes people want to help but they don't know how, or they forget you need them. Ask and see what they're able to do. Do block in time to relax as needed. It is easy to see an expanse of free time and plug twenty tasks into it, but that may cause you to become overwhelmed and do nothing at all.
Management of time can be pretty easy for people with normal lives. It can be really trying for people with disabilities to cope with the rules of the normal world. They experience a lot of difficulties in attaining their goals as a result of their disabilities.
People with disabilities have skills that are very different from those who live normally.A person with disabilities will find it very difficult to cope with pressures normal peoples could easily deal with. For most of their life, they might feel the frustration of not being able to cope with such pressures. So we need the proper management of time management skills.It can help us in the following ways:
