There is no doubt that learning new skills help us successfully navigate this exhilarating journey of life. So today, I would take this opportunity to talk about one such skill that was pretty hard to learn.

I learned about time scheduling when I first joined my job as an Assistant Manager two years ago. Before that, I was just goofing around with my life.

Therefore, I realized it is of paramount importance to be time efficient.

How you learned it?

I too asked the same question to motivational speakers , read blogs and articles to learn about time management a few years ago. Some said to frame a time table, some said to learn the art of effective usage of time and so on. But then I read ‘The 5 AM Club‘ – authored by Robin Sharma. It transformed my life.

I followed every little secret shared in the book (such as scheduling & prioritizing tasks, minimizing distractions etc.) with full devotion and consequently I was awarded ‘The best employee of the month’ soon after.

And that’s how I championed this skill.

How you felt when you learned it?

I felt as happy as Larry. The transformation from a boy to a man with professional pursuits(goals) was fascinating!
