Time Management

Time management is more of an attitude, a habit. It is not something that you can acquire for a temporary period of time. Priorities must be set properly. I read somewhere (or saw in a movie)  that first you should think about your goal and then before anything you do ask yourself "Is the thing that I am going to do help me in achieving my goal?" This policy if followed truly can lead to all the problems of time wasting look like stupid shit.

I agree that this ideology is extremely hard to follow ideally. But what I think is that your marks will be directly proportional to how close you are to the ideal picture.

I attended school regularly (even though a lot of people me advised against it). I had an almost 94 % attendance in Class 12. School was not a hindrance for me. I tried to make the most of it. Studied my stuff during the breaks and free periods. I used to listen to what chapter was going on in the class and revise everything that I had learnt about it. (Be it school level or higher, Just something to improve my efficiency).

I used to solve easy biology and inorganic questions while on the commute. In the bus or the car or basically wherever possible. (I am writing this post while sitting in a train Here is a photo for proof.)  for me the commute time is the best free time I could ever get. I schedule my stuff, do easy work that doesn't require a lot of intellect. And that constitutes like 50% of the work.

If you respect your time others even others will start respecting your time.

PS - I know this sounds a bit boring and dull and I am preaching a lot here. ( Hopefully I will reach the ideal sometime).
