TRANSCRIPT FOR EP37:
Welcome to SHE is Confident. Hi! This is Deon Teh and in this episode, I will be sharing with you about Time management.
As a 9-5 employee, How would you spend your time during the weekend ? As we have to work from Monday to Friday, after work, we have to take care of our family, especially for working mother that have young children, hence how can we have quality time with our family and yet at the same time we can still have time to spend on our self-improvement, to grow within our career or how can we teach our children better.
Since technology is so advanced these days, we can save a lot of time for ourselves by making use of it. We no longer need to go to the library, we can read books online with just a few clicks, the same goes to purchase groceries, we can buy online without physically going to the store.
Since we can multitask, by right we should have more time to do many valuable matters.
Looking at the huge convenience that the modern world has brought to us, and have you ever thought about where your time has gone and if it has given you any value. What are your priorities or what you intend to do in your extra time? How you really thought about your time management, and the financial value it can bring to you.
When I was much younger, I used to play games whenever I had free time.
When I got married, I spent my free time shopping and going out with my friends.
However after my son was born, I had to take care of him, and even when I have some free time, I was unable to do the things like before and had to stay home and be with my son.
As a working mother, we have limited time and we need to be able to balance work and taking care of our children.
Besides taking care of my son, I have to accompany my family as well. However, the weekends are my best time to upgrade myself, so I have to make adjustments to my time. I chose to buy audiobooks and digital courses, this way I can learn and be at home with my family at the same time.
In our family, swimming is one of the activities that we like to do. I never thought that I could swim and hence for many years whenever we went swimming, I would just be playing with water. And also as a working mother, I would not have the extra time to set aside to go for lessons.
One day when I was looking at my son swimming, I decided that I will learn to swim. I watched youtube videos and was able to self teach myself to swim. And now I can swim with my family and instead of just playing in the water.
I enjoyed reading books and found that I could learn many things from books. Books are like my mentors, who are always beside me and it has really helped me to create value for myself, it also nourishes my heart, and allows me to be a more open-minded mother, leader, or staff.
Using technology, I no longer need to go to the library to borrow books. I can easily search for good ebooks or audiobooks that can guide me online. And I can purchase hardcopy books online and receive them from the comfort of my home.
Practicing mindfulness is also one of my very important daily exercises. It cleanses my soul and I am able to view things in a different light. This allows me to be more positive and creative in ways that I can contribute to others and society. In the past, I needed to spend time physically attending the classes and arrange my schedule accordingly. Now I attend online meditation classes and save a lot of traveling time.
Choose how you want to use your time and who you want to spend your time with. Only you can manage your own time, plan it with what you want, and wisely. Think out of the box and use your time creatively.
The Law of attraction tells us that what you think, you will attract. If you want good things to come your way, you will need to think about it. The reverse is true.
Time is fair as everyone has the same 24 hours in a day, whether you are poor or wealthy, smart or not.
No matter who you are, time is in your hand.
Plan your time properly today, time is a precious asset that we cannot waste as there is no reverse button. Time management is an important path to your success.
When you take good care of yourself, have good time management, and keep upgrading, you will become an expert, and one day you can guide others to where you have been to. You will be a role model for your children and they learn your path as they also want to become the respected person that you are.
