Very few would dispute the fact that we live in a global world, where local economy, politics and culture do not longer belong to and influence their immediate surroundings alone, but a large extent of the rest of the globe. This context of merging borders has entailed drastic changes in the way goods and services are produced and distributed and in how information and ideas are transmitted. Fashion, both a business and a cultural good, has not been impervious to that: on the one hand, fashion is a multi-billion dollar industry that has to survive in a more and more competitive global market and produce for a trans-continental audience; and, on the other hand, it is also an immaterial good and the way it is transmitted, shared and created changes along with society. Both fashion and globalization are complex and multidimensional phenomena, and the analysis of their connection can be approached by a wide variety of disciplines. Throughout this essay I will analyse what and how has changed in fashion with globalization, focusing on the influence economical and cultural globalization have had in the transmission of trends and the structure and behaviour of the industry. Firstly, fashion is one of the few cultural goods that we carry with us every day and have a role in our daily life, so the way trends are created and transmitted is affected both by changes in the diffusion of culture –as it happened with cultural globalization- and by changes in society. Secondly, fashion industry has, as every other, been affected by economic globalization. However, unlike any other industry, fashion produces ephemeral cultural goods, and so the production of clothes has also been affected by the new model of transmission of trends with cultural globalization.

Healthy food is food considered to be beneficial to health in ways that go beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition. Because there is no precise, authoritative definition from regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, different dietary practices can be considered healthy depending on context.
Foods considered "healthy" may be natural foods, organic foods, whole foods, and sometimes dietary supplements. Such products are sold in health food stores or in the health/organic sections of supermarkets.

Social Networking Tools for Academic Librariessuzi smith
Social Networking Tools for Academic Libraries
Abstract
This is an exploratory study investigating the use of social networking tools in academic libraries. The major areas examined include the extent of use of social networking tools, library staff’s perceptions of their usefulness, and perceived challenges in using them. Considerations that influenced decisions to use or not to use social networking tools were also examined. Invitations to participate in a web-based survey were sent to the libraries of 140 universities from Asia, North America and Europe. Responses were received from 38 libraries, yielding a response rate of 27.1%. Twenty-seven libraries (71.1%) used social networking tools, five (13.1%) were potential users who planned to use these tools and six (15.8%) did not plan to use these tools at all. Facebook and Twitter were the most commonly adopted tools in university libraries. Most library staff had generally positive perceptions on the usefulness of social networking tools, but hesitancy among some library staff and limited participation of library users (i.e., students) were perceived to be hindrances. The findings of this study offer insights for academic librarians to use as basis for informed decisions in applying social networking tools.
Dividing the Debts in a California Divorcesuzi smith
My spouse ran up huge credit card debts during the marriage. In dividing assets and debts in the settlement agreement, who should be responsible for these debts?
In California, Family Code section 910 provides that the community is liable for all debts incurred during the marriage and prior to separation. It doesn’t matter whether the debt was incurred by one spouse for his or her own benefit or for the family. It also doesn't matter whose name appears on the bill or the credit card statements. If it was incurred during the marriage and prior to separation, it’s a community property debt and both spouses are equally liable. This means that when the parties are negotiating a settlement and tallying the marital balance sheet such debts should be divided equally. A better option might be that one spouse agrees to pay off the joint debts in return for a greater share of the community property. The spouse paying off the debts can at least make sure that joint debts are paid, because as long as debts are jointly owed both spouses are financially responsible to the creditors.

1- 5 Reasons Why You Should Learn and Practice Proper
Time Management
Do you have a problem with time management? If you do, you have two
main options. One of those options and often the most popular is to
continue on with your normal activities. Unfortunately, doing so may have a
negative impact on your personal life, as well as your work life. The other
option is to make a change. The good news is that there a number of steps
that you can take to improve your time management.
As for what you can do to improve your time management, you will see that a
number of different approaches can be taken. Goal setting, to do lists,
limiting tasking, prioritizing, and outsourcing are all effective ways to manage
your time, but they are also just a few of your options. As for why you
should learn and practice proper time management, there are a number of
reasons why, five of which are outlined below.
1 – It Is Easy To Do
As previously summarized, you have a number of different options when
looking to make better use of your time. These options are all easy and cost
effective ways. In fact, creating goals and task lists for yourself is free of
charge. Since it is easy for you to learn and practice proper time management
techniques, why would you want to do anything else?
2 – It Is Important To Your Personal Life

5. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
As previously stated, having a poor sense of time management has a number
of serious consequences, one of those being your personal life. If you
regularly pay your bills late, don’t make contact with friends, or arrive home
later than normal, you may be hurting your personal relationships and often
in more ways than you could have ever imagined. Friends, spouses, and
romantic partners will likely not want to put up with this behavior for long.
3 – It Is Important For Your Job
Poor time management will not only negatively effect your personal life, but
your work life as well. If you do not know how to properly manage your
time, you may get easily distracted. This may result in you wasting company
time. If you are caught doing so repeatedly, you may find yourself terminated
from your current position. This can also have a negative impact on your
personal life, as it may leave your finances in serious trouble.
4 – It Is Something That You Can Only Benefit From
Taking the time to learn and practice successful time management techniques
can only benefit you, your work, and your personal relationships. Since no
money technically needs to be spent on time management tools or training,
you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain. It is also important to ask
yourself again the important question of “why not?” Why not improve your
life with the learning and practicing of time management techniques?
5 – The Options That You Have
Once again, it is important to focus on the options that you have when
looking to learn and practice proper time management. Creating a set of
goals and a task list is easy and free to do. Alarm clocks and timers can also
be used to help you make better use of your time. You likely already own a
traditional alarm, but your cell phone, computer, and television may also
come equipped with alarm clocks as well.
As a reminder, there are a number of other time management tools and
techniques that you can easily learn and practice all from the comfort of your
own home.

2- 8 Simple Steps to Improve Your Time Management
Are you an individual who can’t seem to properly manage your time? If you
are having problems at home or at work, there is a good chance that your
problems may be caused by your inability to properly manage your time. The
good news, however, is that there are a number of steps that you can take to
improve your time management. In fact, 8 simple steps that you can take are
highlighted below.
1 – Know That You Have a Problem
Knowing that you have a time management problem is the first step in
changing your behavior. Although it is typical to be late for work or a social
event on occasion, it is something that should not be happening on a daily or
a weekly basis. If it is, it is time for you to realize that you may have a
problem.
2 – Decide To Change
6
7. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
Knowing that you have a time management problem is important, but
wanting to change is even more important. You need to set goals for
yourself, as these goals can help to provide you with a source of motivation.
Sample goals include showing up to work on time for a whole month, being
on time for all dinner dates, and so forth.
3 – Stick To Your Goals
Creating a number of time management goals for you to meet is advised, but
it is important that you don’t give up right away or when you are faced with
complications. Setting goals simply just isn’t enough, you need to stick with
them.
4 – Create Daily Task Lists
Creating a to do list for yourself is an easy way to properly manage your time.
In fact, it is one of the easiest approaches that you can take. Outline what
you need to do throughout the day. Be sure to list your tasks in order of
importance.
5 – Rely On Time Management Tools
Properly managing your time is important, but it can be hard for many
individuals to get use to, especially right away. If you are one of those
individuals, you will want to consider using time management tools to your
advantage. In fact, did you know that many cell phones and computers come
with alarm clocks, alerts, and so much more?
6 – Learn How To Say No
In all honesty, there are times where you may not be able to refuse a project
at work or a task at home, but try to not take on more than you can
accomplish. If you must, look into using outside help. In the home, this
outside help can come from a housecleaner. At the workplace, this outside
help can come from a coworker.
7
8. Haytham Al Fiqi
7 – Get Organized
Organization is key to being able to properly manage your time. If you are
unorganized, you are likely to waste a large amount of time. For example, in
the workplace you can waste time by searching for lost or misplaced
documents. The same can be said for the home; if you are unorganized, you
can spend hours searching for your glasses or car keys.
8 – Consider Hiring Professional Help
As previously stated, if you are overwhelmed at home, you may want to call
on a professional housecleaner. In addition to taking this approach, there are
other professionals that you can target. There are individuals and companies
who specialize in teaching others how to effectively manage their time and
stay organized.
3- Helpful Time Management Tools
Would you like to improve your time management? If you find yourself easily
distracted, missing important deadlines, or showing up to important events
late, improving your time management may be a good idea. Unfortunately,
many individuals do not realize just how much trouble poor time
management can cause them.
When it comes to improving time management, many individuals are
surprised with all of the options that they have. One of those options is using
time management tools to your advantage. If this sounds like an approach
that you would like to take, please continue reading on. A number of helpful
and successful time management tools that you can benefit from using are
outlined below for your convenience.

9. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
An alarm clock is a simple, yet effective time management tool that you can
and should use. What is nice about alarm clocks, is that most of us already
have them in our homes. Be sure to set your alarm clock to get up in the
morning. Consider resetting it five minutes before you must walk out to door
to work, set it for when you want to start preparing dinner, and so forth.
Although we often associate alarm clocks with getting up in the morning, they
can actually be used for so much more.
A task list, also commonly referred to as a to do list, is another time
management tool that you can and should use to your advantage. What nice
about task lists is that they are free and easy to do. All you need is a piece of
a paper and pencil. Outlining everything that you must do for the day is a
great way to make sure that you stay focused and on task, which is an
important component of managing your time. If you must, keep separate lists
for home and work.
Daily, weekly, and monthly planners are other time management tools that
can be used. The type of planner that you will use will all depend on your
own personal preferences. With that said, many individuals prefer daily
planners better, as they often leave more space to create a to do list or at least
a spot to write down important dates and times. If you do use a daily, weekly,
or monthly planner, be sure to keep it with you at all times.
Calendar alert programs are other time management tools that come highly
rated and recommended. Calendar alert programs are so much more than
just a traditional wall calendar. For the most part, these time management
alert tools are found on computers and cell phones. What you will need to do
is enter in an important date and time. When that date and time arrives, you
should receive a message on your computer screen or cell phone screen. Text
message and emails may also be sent. These types of programs are often used
to remember birthdays, but they can be used on a wide range of other events,
projects, and activities.
Finally, another tool that you will want to consider using is that of a time
management training seminar. In addition to attending a physical class, you
may be able to purchase a seminar in video format. Although some
individuals do not consider receiving training a tool, it is an important tool.
There are professionals out there who can share time management tips with
you, as well as help you improve your organizational skills.

12. Haytham Al Fiqi
Perhaps, the greatest reason why you should play time management games is
because they can help you learn to make better use of your time.
Unfortunately, this is an important point that many individuals do not
necessarily think of. For example, some games have you eliminate screens of
blocks by clicking on groups of blocks that are the same color. Many
associated these types of games with fun activities, but they can also teach you
to think quick on your feet. This can later benefit you in the workplace, as
well as at home.

7- How to Teach Your Children About Time Management
Are you a parent who is interested in teaching your children the importance
of time management? If you are, good for you. Time management is a skill
that all children should learn, as it may have a significant impact on their
future. Unfortunately, many parents do not take the time to teach their
children the importance of proper time use. In fact, some parents don’t even
realize the importance of time management themselves.
Despite the fact that you are certain that you want to teach your child the
importance of time management and ways that they can manage their time,
you may be unsure as to how you can go about doing so. The approach that
you decide to take should depend on your child’s age. Please continue
reading on for a few helpful tips.
For toddlers and preschoolers, you can use a timer, like a kitchen timer. This
is a fun approach to take, as you are essentially creating your own time
management game. What you can do is time your child while they complete
an easy task. These tasks can be anything from cleaning their room, getting
ready for bed, getting washed up for dinner, and so froth. Just make sure that
you set a timer with enough time for your child to reasonably do what you are
asking of them.
17
18. Haytham Al Fiqi
With toddlers and preschoolers, it is important to remember that your child is
still young. It isn’t always a good idea to discipline them for taking longer
than you expected them to take. Just be sure that you talk to your child about
picking up their speed and give them easy to understand tips on how they can
go about doing so. At this age, be sure to reward your child for beating the
time. This reward can be a simple praise, a hug, or a sticker.
As for elementary school aged children, a timer can still be used, but some
children do tend to outgrow this approach. Just be sure to talk to your
children about time management, its importance, and the consequences for
regularly being late. At around the age of eight or so, children are better able
to understand what happens when they don’t make proper use of their time.
For teenagers, it is important to talk to your child. You will also want to set a
good example. Depending on the circumstances at hand, it may also be a
good idea to discipline your child. This is actually important to do with
schooling. For example, if your teenager isn’t able to get their homework
done or if they don’t study for a test, they may end up with bad grades. After
a few warnings, consider limiting the amount of time that your teenager is
able to spend with their friends or the amount of television they are able to
watch. Doing this, even just temporarily, is likely to teach your teenager an
important lesson about time management and the elimination of distractions.
In keeping with teaching a teenager the importance of time management, it is
important to not just take away privileges, but to also provide education.
Make sure that your teenager understands the importance of time
management. In college, your child will be responsible for studying, doing
their homework, and other important tasks and they will not have you there
to help guide them. The same will be true for the workplace. Unfortunately,
this is where many young adults run into problems. Don’t let your son or
daughter fall victim to poor time management.
As you can see, there are a number of easy ways that you can go about
teaching your child the importance of time management, as well as tips that
you can share with them. Regardless of your children’s ages, the lesson of
managing time is one that should be taught. In fact, the sooner that you start
teaching your children how to properly manage their time, the better the
results will likely be in the long run.

8- Important Information on Time Management
Are you an individual who finds it difficult to properly manage your time? If
you are, you may be looking to make changes. After all, not having a good
sense of time management may have a negative impact on your personal life,
as well as your work life.
If you are looking to improve your sense of time management, there are a
number of steps that you will need to take. These steps should have you
making better use of your time in no time at all. A few of these steps are
highlighted below for your convenience.
First, be sure to set goals for yourself. In fact, setting goals is the most
important thing that you can do. Set a number of goals for yourself, such as
getting your home office or work desk organized in two to three days.
Another goal that you can set is the goal of arriving to work early, and so
forth.
19
20. Haytham Al Fiqi
Another important component of improving your sense of time management
is knowing that there is only a certain amount of time in the day. This is
important to remember when setting goals for yourself. You do not want to
overextend yourself either at home or at the workplace. Instead, create
realistic goals for yourself that you will be likely be able to meet.
A good part of knowing that there is only a limited amount of time in the day
and a limited number of things for you to do is also knowing when to say
“no.” Although you may not always have the pleasure of telling someone no
in the workplace, you should have more flexibility at home. If you can’t
afford to take on extra assignments at work, don’t. If you can’t find the time
to complete another task at home, like dust or vacuum, seek help from your
partner, your children, or a professional housecleaner.
In addition to creating a goal list, it is also advised that you create a to do list
for yourself. Depending on how out of sync you are with your time, a daily
to do list may be required. After time, you may be able to graduate to a
weekly or even monthly to do list. When creating your list, it is important to
know the importance of prioritizing. First, it is important to determine which
tasks are the most important. What tasks have the greatest sense of urgency?
Those are ones that should be at the top of your list.
As for ease, an easy way to improve your sense of time management is to
eliminate or limit your distractions. If you find yourself wasting a
considerable of time, what is it that distracts you or gets you off task? Is it
the internet, socializing with friends, or the television?
If the above mentioned approaches still aren’t able to help you manage your
time like you had hoped, you may want to consider hiring the services of a
professional. As previously stated, if you need additional help at home you
may want to hire a professional housecleaner. With that said, did you also
know that there are experts who can show you how to better manage and
make use of your time, as well as those who can help you get your home or
office more organized? There are. The professional help, knowledge, and
expertise of these individuals is never a bad thing.

9- Personal Time Management Tips
Are you an individual who just feels as if you can never catch up? Do you
feel like you can’t get everything that you need to do done? If so, it is
important that you take steps to rectify the problem. Poor time management
is often associated with the workplace, but did you know that your personal
life can be negatively impacted as well? It can be.
As for how poor time management can have a negative impact on your
personal life, you may be surprised just what it can do. For example, if you
have a poor sense of time you may find that your relationship with your
spouse, romantic partner, friends, or children suffers. Those who have a
poor sense of time are often stressed, frustrated, and unorganized. This is
likely to put a significant strain on otherwise healthy relationships.
21
22. Haytham Al Fiqi
Despite the fact that time management can have a negative impact on your
personal life, there is good news. That good news is that there are ways that
you can prevent your poor use of time from becoming too much of a
problem. The biggest way to prevent this from happening involves learning
how to make better use of your time. To help you get started, a number of
personal time management tips are outlined below.
An easy way to learn how to make better use of your time involves creating
and relying on to do lists. If you have everyday tasks that have become a part
of your routine, like getting your kids ready for school or going to work, you
do not necessarily have to include these items on your list. With that said,
other non-daily tasks should be added. These tasks may include running an
errand before work, attending a child’s sporting event, helping your child with
an important school project, going on a date, and so forth.
Learning how to prioritize is another important component of being able to
properly manage your time. It is important to remember that the day and its
time is limited. If you have a family and a fulltime job, you may find it
difficult or downright impossible to get everything done. If that is the case,
be sure to prioritize. You can leave the lesser important tasks, such as dusting
your house as opposed to doing laundry for later or the following day.
The use of time management tools is another easy way that you can go about
making better use of your time. There are a number of tools that you can use
to your advantage. A to do list was sited as an example above. Other tools
that you may be able to benefit from the use of include alarm clocks and daily
or weekly planners. Since most time management tools are affordable,
already in your home, or free to create, you should use them to your
advantage.
One of the many reasons why people end up wasting time is because they are
easily distracted. If you feel this the main source of your time management
problems, you will want to determine what your biggest distractions are. For
example, do you spend too much time socializing with coworkers after work
or with the neighbors? If so, you don’t have to completely eliminate this
contact, but try to limit it. The same can be said with television and internet
use.

10- Successful Time Management Techniques
Are you an individual who finds it difficult to manage your time at work or at
home or at both places? If you are, you may be looking for information on
how you can make better use of your time. You will likely be pleased with all
of your options, as there are a number of different steps that you can take. A
few successful time management techniques that have worked for others, just
like you, are touched on below.
One of the most successful time management techniques is that of goal
setting. Goals provide many with an important source of needed motivation,
as they give you something to specifically aim for. Whether you set a long-
term goal, such as improving the management of your time in general, or a
short-term goal, such as showing up for work on time, goals are important.
However, make sure that the time management goals you do set for yourself
are realistic.
23
24. Haytham Al Fiqi
Creating daily to do lists is another one of the many ways that you can go
about making better use of your time. In fact, after time has passed, you may
not even need to use a daily to do list. For the time being, a to do list can
help make sure that you stay focused and on task. It can also help create a
new routine for yourself, one where you are better aware of your time and
what must be done.
In addition to creating a simple to do list, you are also urged to prioritize. In
fact, prioritizing combined with daily to do lists is the best form of time
management. Whether your to do list is for the home or work, take a close
look at all of the tasks you need to complete. Which tasks are more
important? To reduce stress, add those with the most urgency to the top of
your to do list.
Another successful time management technique is one that is very easy, but
many people have a hard time doing it. This time management technique is
just saying no. It is important to remember that there are only a limited
number of hours in the day. No matter how much time and effort you put
into staying focused and on task, there are still some things that you may not
get accomplished. That is why you should never take on more than you
reasonably believe that you can handle.
If you do find yourself saying yes to completing an extra project at work or
taking on too many responsibilities at home, it is important to remember that
you can ask for help. In fact, knowing when to ask for help is an important
component of time management. You can ask your friends, children, or
romantic partner for help around the house. You may also want to call upon
the services of a professional housecleaner. In the workplace, consider
outsourcing your work to another employee, if you are able to do so without
getting into trouble.
Staying organized is another easy, yet effective and successful time
management technique. In fact, did you know that time management and
organization go hand in hand? They do. If you are organized, you will spend
less time searching for lost or misplaced items or other important work
documents. The more organized you are at both home and work, the easier it
will be for you to manage your time.

11- The Danger of Not Managing Your Time at the Office
Are you employed? If you are and if you work in an office setting, do you
know how to make good use of your time? If not, it is vital to your success
and your financial standings that you start doing so as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, many individuals do not know the many consequences that
they may face if they don’t perform their best at work. Even if you have been
able to slide under the radar before socializing with coworkers or surfing the
internet, your time of just messing around may soon come to an end. This is
because more employers realize just how much money they are truly losing
with employees who don’t know how to manage their time.
25
26. Haytham Al Fiqi
As for the dangers of not properly managing your time at work, you are less
likely to stay focused and on task. If you do not understand the importance
of managing your time at work, you are more likely to get distracted, which
may delay an important project or prevent you from meeting a deadline.
This, in itself, can have a number of serious consequences. In a professional
workplace, you shouldn’t miss a deadline unless you have a good reason for
doing so.
Another danger of not managing your time is that you are likely to get
unorganized easily. In fact, did you know that organization and time
management go hand in hand? If you do not know how to properly manage
your time, you likely rush to complete simple tasks, such as putting away
important files. This will likely result in errors. However, when you later go
to find those important files or documents, they may not be where you
thought. This may result in you wasting time searching for them.
Although you may not necessarily think about this danger, it is still important
to take into consideration. That danger is setting a bad example. Many
individuals do not understand the ripple effect that most workplaces have. If
other coworkers see that you are able to waste your time, either by socializing
or playing computer games, they may try to do the same, especially if you are
able to get away with this type of behavior. You may unintentionally
endanger a whole office or company.
Perhaps, the biggest danger of not knowing how to properly manage your
time at the workplace is putting your job at risk. As previously stated, many
business owners are realizing just how much money they are losing on poor
performing employees; therefore, many are starting to take action. You may
receive a warning first, but there is a good chance that you will lose your job.
After all, why should a company pay you to not work when there are
hundreds of other men and women out there who would love to have your
job?
If the possibility of losing your job wasn’t enough, it is important to take into
consideration what can and will likely happen with your good name. If you
are terminated from your job, chances are you will find it difficult to find a
job in a similar position. This is most often the case if you had a good, well
paying job, such as that of an office manager. Many high paying positions
require recommendations and job references. If you get terminated from
your position, these will be hard to come by. In fact, instead of not giving
any comment at all, you may end up getting a bad recommendation!
26

The above mentioned examples are just a few of the many ways that you may
end up suffering from poor productivity at work. The good news, however, is
that you may be surprised just how easy it is to change your ways. Whether
you choose to create daily to do lists for yourself, use a computerized day
planner, or learn to better prioritize your responsibilities, get started with
doing so as soon as possible.
12- The Importance of Personal Time Management
Are you an individual who knows how to make good use of your time? If
you are not, you may want to learn ways to make improvements. This is
because time management can have a negative impact on your personal life.
Unfortunately, many individuals only believe that poor time management
hurts those in the workplace, but this isn’t the case. In fact, there are a
number of ways that your personal life can suffer from poor time
management.
If you do not know how to manage your time, there is a good chance that you
will be stressed out. You may also feel a wide range of other emotions,
including anger, frustration, and fear. With that said, if you know how to
properly manage time you are more likely to live a happy, healthy, productive,
and stress free life.
27
28. Haytham Al Fiqi
Although we often associate poor time management with missed deadlines
and showing up late to work, it is important to remember that the same can
be said with your social life. Do you have friends? How much do you stay in
contact with them? How often do you get together for coffee or lunch? If
you do, do you show up for your meetings with friends late or do you forget
to make regular contact with them? If you do, you may end up putting your
friendships at risk.
In addition to having a negative impact on your friendships, poor time
management may also have an impact on your relationship. To have a
healthy and happy relationship, time management is important. You need to
know how much time you should devote to your spouse, as opposed to
spending it working, watching television, or hanging out with friends. Time
management is also important as you want to make sure that you arrive home
or at dates on time.
If you are a parent, having poor time management may also impact the
relationship that you have with your children. When you are a parent, you
have responsibilities to your children. The most common of these
responsibilities is to feed and clothe your children. Depending on their ages,
you may also be reasonable for getting them ready and sent off to school or
daycare. If you do not have proper sense of time or if you do just choose not
to use your time wisely, you can end up hurting your children, like by making
them late to school or other important events. All individuals are encouraged
to have good sense of time, but it is vital for parents.
In keeping with being a parent, if you are a parent, poor use of your time also
sets bad examples for your children. Whether your children are teenagers,
toddlers, or elementary school aged, they will likely make note of your
behaviors. If you want your children to get good grades at school and later
get good jobs, it is important that you teach them all about time management
and its importance. One of the best ways to do so is by setting a good
example for your children. The good news is that this is a lot easier than it
sounds. You can set a good example for your children by getting ready for
work in the morning on time or by arriving at scheduled events on time.
28
29. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
Another one of the many ways that having a poor sense of time management
can hurt you is with your credit. Those who have poor time management
also often have poor credit. This is because those who are unable to properly
manage their time often pay their bills late. With credit cards, this can result
in expensive minimum payments that just cannot be paid. By knowing when
all of your bills are due, you are likely to have better credit, but time
management is important.
As you can see, there are a number of ways that poor time management can
negatively impact your personal life. For that reason, take steps to make sure
it doesn’t impact yours.
13- The Importance of Teaching Your Children About Time
Management
Are you a parent? If you are, do you know the importance of properly
managing your time? Since you have the responsibly of working, getting your
children clothed for the day, and sending them off to school or daycare, there
is a good chance that you know the importance of time management alto
well. But, do your children know? If not, you should teach them.
29
30. Haytham Al Fiqi
As for why you should teach your children about time management, namely
the importance of it and how to achieve, you will find that there are a number
of benefits to doing so. A few of those benefits are highlighted below for
your convenience.
For starters, it is important to know that time management is a lifelong
lesson. It is one that your children will need to learn anyways, so why not get
them started now? A head start on important life lessons can never hurt a
child. In fact, poor time management, especially at the high school and
college level can hinder your children’s ability to get a good job and make a
good living.
Another one of the many reasons why you are encouraged to teach your
children about time management, as well as share time managing tips with
your child is because it is easy to do so. One of the best ways to teach your
children how to properly manage their time is to set a good example. For
instance, before leaving for an important event, show your children the clock
and tell them what time you need to be ready to leave by. When you are
ready to leave, be sure to make note of the time. If you and your family are
able to beat that time, be sure to congratulate and praise your children,
especially those that are young in age.
As sited as an example above, setting goals to be ready to leave the house by
is a good way to teach your children about management. A fun approach for
younger children is to rely on a kitchen timer. You can make a time
management game out of brushing teeth, cleaning up a room, and so forth.
This is ideal for toddlers and preschoolers. In addition to showing by
example, it is also important to talk to your children about time management.
Around the ages of eight to ten, children are better able to understand the
consequences of running late. These consequences may involve missing a fun
activity.
Another reason why you should talk to your children about time management
and share important tips with them is because there are a number of benefits
to doing so. These benefits are ones that will help your child for years to
come.

At the elementary school, high school, and college levels, having a good sense
of time can help your children get better grades. When in high school and in
college, your children will have more freedom, in terms of studying and
completing homework assignments. Those who have a poor sense of time
and those who do not know how to manage their time are likely to get poor
grades on tests and homework assignments.
Another one of the many benefits to teaching your child how to improve
their time is that you can receive some additional help at home. As parent,
you should be relying on your children, especially teenagers to complete small
tasks. These tasks should depend on their age. For example, toddlers and
preschoolers should be able to clean their rooms and teenagers can help with
laundry or dishes. These important skills are all skills that children should
learn anyways, so why not turn them into time management lessons?
Since there are a number of benefits to educating your child on the
importance of time management, you are advised to do so right away. As a
reminder, toddlers and preschoolers, although young, can still benefit from a
few important lessons.
14- The Importance of Time Management for Students
31
32. Haytham Al Fiqi
Are you a high school student or a college student who finds it difficult to
manage your time? If you regularly find yourself having late night study
sessions or if you miss important deadlines to turn in your homework
assignments, you may need to learn how to make better use of your time.
As important as it is to hear that time management is important for all
students, including high school and college students, you may be wondering
why. In all honesty, there are an unlimited number of reasons why proper
time management is important for students. A few of those reasons are
highlighted below for your convenience.
Learning how to properly manage your time will not only allow you to
complete your homework assignments on time, but it will also allow you to
stay better organized. In fact, this is great because time management and
organization go hand in hand. When implementing a time management plan,
you are likely to get all of your affairs, including your car, desk, and locker in
order. This allows you to easily find your books, homework, assignments,
and other school supplies. Staying organized is key to staying focused and on
task.
Another reason why it is important for all students, like yourself, to learn how
to properly manage your time is because it is a good lifelong lesson. When
you leave high school or college, you will likely enter into the workforce. Do
you honestly expect to be paid to sit around and surf the internet or socialize
with friends or coworkers? Jobs that allow you to do so are few and far in
between. That is why it is important for you to learn how to effectively
manage your time, as there are serious consequences for not doing so in the
future.
From the standpoint of a student, proper time management can also make
studying easier. When you are able to devote a specific period of time to
studying, you are more likely to do so. This will also help to eliminate last
minute cram sessions, which may occur in the middle of the night. The
elimination of late night study sessions will not only help to keep you happier
and better on your feet, but it will also help to improve your grades.
Speaking of better grades, that is one of the biggest benefits to learning how
to properly manage your time. One of the many ways that you can better
manage your time is by creating a to do list for yourself and by prioritizing.
This should allow you to get all of your homework assignments completed on
time and with ease. This is also likely to translate into better grades, since you
should not have to rush.
32
33. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
The elimination of stress is another one of the many benefits to having a time
management plan in place if you are a high school or a college student. It is
no secret that college and high school can both be stressful on their own.
After all, your grades may have an impact on your future job and your future
income. With that said, proper time management will allow you to get your
homework done and studying done in a timely fashion, eliminating many
stressful and nail biting situations.
Now that you know just how important time management for students is, you
may be curious as to how you can improve yours. There are a number of
tools that you can use to your advantage, including to do lists, day planners,
alarm clocks, and computerized calendar programs. Eliminating distractions,
such as socializing with friends, television watching, or internet surfing, is
another great way to make sure that you stay focused and on task, especially
when completing a school project or studying.
Since your high school and college grades can have an significant impact on
your future, start making better use of your time. As a reminder, there are a
number of helpful time management tools that you can use to your
advantage.
15- The Importance of Time Management In the Workplace
33
34. Haytham Al Fiqi
Do you work? If you do, you likely have a number of responsibilities at work.
If you do, how well do you perform those responsibilities? Are you known as
an overachiever at work or are you known for your poor time management
skills, which often involves you showing up late to work or missing important
deadlines? If so, you need to make changes right away.
As nice as it is to hear that you must improve your time at work, especially if
you have a poor sense of time management, you may wonder what the
importance is. In all honesty, there are a number of ways that making good
use of your time at work can help you. On the same note, there are also a
number of ways that poor time management skills can hurt you in the
workplace. For more information on these situations, please continue reading
on.
Poor time management at work is likely to have an impact of your public
perception, as well as the public perception of your company as a whole.
This is due in part to organization. If you do not know how to properly
manage your time, you are likely very unorganized. This means that your
office desk is a mess and that you may spend extra time looking for misplaced
documents or other important files. A messy desk is not what you want your
clients or your bosses to see.
Poor time management can also have an impact on your ability to receive a
promotion or a pay raise at work. Even if you have what you would call a
decent job now, there is a good chance that you do aspire to climb up the
company ladder or to make more money. Your chances of doing so are quite
slim if you are known as the worker who likes to waste company time.
Learning how to make good use of your time at work can prevent that from
happening, possibly resulting in your receiving a promotion or a pay raise.
Having a poor sense of time and use of time at work can also put your job at
risk. You need to think about it from the standpoint of a business owner.
Why would you continue to pay an employee that performs poorly and who
has a poor since of time management when there are many other workers out
there who would love to have the same opportunity? Don’t let your inability
to properly manage your time cost you your job.
One aspect of poor time management in the workplace that should be
examined is that of your credit. If you do not receive a needed pay raise, a
promotion, or if you lose your job, there is a good chance that you will enter
into financial despair. This may impact your ability to buy a home, get a new
car, as well as a new job.

manage their time often have problems managing their money. Not paying
your bills on time and other similar problems may be more than your

management. Those who do not have a good sense of time often show up

In addition to putting your job at risk, poor management in the workplace,

17- The Pros and Cons of Time Management Training in the
Workplace
Are you a business owner? If you are, time management should be of great
importance to you. If your employees do not know how to make proper use
of their time, you could be suffering the consequences. As for what those
consequences are, they may include the loss of profits and a poor public
perception.
If and when you determine that your employees are wasting their workday or
even just a few minutes here and there, you will want to take action. In fact,
the sooner that you take action, the better it will be for you and your
company. As for what action you should take, you may want to consider time
management training.
Time management training; it sounds professional and effective, but what is
it? In all honesty, you will find that time management training comes in a
number of different formats. For starters, you can have you own time
management training run by you and your staff. On the other hand, you can
use the assistance of a professional. There are individuals who specialize in
teaching others how to stay organized, focused, and on task. You can hire
one of these individuals to come into your workplace and educate your
employees.
Now that you know what your main options are in terms of time
management training for your office, you may be curious as to what the pros
and cons are. For starters, the cost can be quite high. Many professionals
charge a set rate, but others charge depending on the number of guests in
attendance. One way that you can keep your cost down is by only requiring
your problem workers to seek training. Another way is by hosting your own
training sessions. This should be relatively cost effective for you.
Another con or downside to time management training in the workplace is
the time that you must spend doing the trainings. In a way, it can seem like
you are wasting the time of your company. In some instances it may be a
time waste, but it is important for you to remember the end result. Taking an
hour or even two hours to teach your staff the importance of time
management, as well as sharing tips on how to be productive in the workplace
is likely worth the time spent.
38
39. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
Although there are a number of cons or downsides to having your staff
members sit through time management training, there are also a number of
pros or plus sides to doing so as well. One of those is the fact that you are
able to provide your staff members with a refresher course in the area of time
management. This is a nice alternative to terminating some of your
employees. In fact, some of your best performing employees may have
problems managing their time. What this means is that when they actually do
choose to work, they are likely to produce the best results. These are the type
of employees that you will want to work with, not terminate right away.
Another one of the many pros or plus sides to having your staff members
undergo time management training is that they shouldn’t have any excuses.
When you or a professional lays out specific ways that your employees can
better manage their time at work, they don’t have any excuses for not doing
so. They can’t claim that they didn’t know that there were specific
approaches they could take, as they sat through the meeting or training
session. In fact, once your employees go through a training session, they are
likely to know that they are being watched. This alone should reduce the
amount of time that is wasted by your employees and produce better results.
Since there are a number of both pros and cons to offering time management
training to your staff member, you need to decide if it is right for you and
your company. If you are noticing a lot of staff members who take too long
to complete their work or if you just see your employees hanging around the
office, time management training is a good idea.

18- Time Management and Parents
Are you a parent? If you are, do you know how to manage your time
properly? If not, you will want to make changes right away. All individuals
can benefit from being able to properly manage their time, but parents can
often benefit the most. With that said, parents also stand to lose the most.
As nice as it is to hear that all parents should have a proper sense of time and
know how to properly manage it, you may be curious as to why that is so.
After all, if you are poor with time management, you may not think that the
situation warrants any changes or improvements, but it does and it should.
Parents who have a proper sense of time management end up setting good
examples for their children. Whether your child is a toddler or a teenager, it is
important to know that they do pay close attention to your actions. In fact,
many children end up copying their parents. In these instances, you want
your child to know that their time should be managed properly, as opposed to
taken for granted or wasted.
In keeping with setting a good example for your children, parents who have a
good understanding of time management and its importance are better able to
educate their children on the subject. Whether your child is a teenager or a
toddler, they can benefit immensely from knowing the importance of proper
time management. Since it is your reasonability, as the parent, to educate
your children, you will want to do so. Remember, be sure to set a good
example for your kids.
Parents who have a good sense of time management are also likely to have
children with better grades. Although the effort that your children put forth
in school will impact their grades, your role as their parent may also have an
impact as well. This is most often the case during elementary school and
junior high school. Do you help your children with their homework? Do
you remember to help them study for tests? If not, you may be putting your
child’s future at risk, even unintentionally.
40
41. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
In addition to better grades, parents who have a good sense of time
management are also likely to have children who participate in school related
activities, including sports. Many children, especially those at the elementary
school and the middle school level, feel pride when their parents attend their
events. Do you remember to show up on time? In fact, did you even
remember to get your child signed up for a school sponsered event before the
deadline?
Although there are much more important things than having a ton of friends,
friendship and social interaction is important to children of all ages. For
parents of toddlers and preschoolers, their friendships will likely depend on
your actions. Do you take time to meet other parents and to schedule play
dates? For those play dates, do you make sure that your child arrives on time?
If not, you may hinder your child’s ability to make long-lasting friendships.
As you can see, your actions as a parent do have significant impacts on your
children. Do not let your poor time management hamper their growth. If
you need assistance, there are a number of resources that you can use to your
advantage to help you improve your time management skills and techniques.

19- Time Management Games for Kids
Are you a parent who would like to teach your children about time
management? If you are, you may want to share with them the importance of
properly using time, as well as tips on how to go about doing so. Although
you will have a number of different options, in terms of approaches taken,
you may want to examine time management games for kids. For the most
part, you will find that time management games for kids have a number of
benefits.
As nice as it is to know that there are time management games for your kids
to play, you may be looking for more information on these games. For
starters, you may be curious as to what time management games are and how
they can help your child. It is important to know that time management
games for kids come in a number of different formats. Regardless of format,
the gist of all games are to beat the timer. All players have to complete a
certain task or play a game within a specific period of time.
As for time management games that you can have your children play, you will
find that you can make up your own. For many parents and kids, this is fun.
Making up a time management game is ideal for toddlers and preschoolers, as
well as young elementary school aged children. What you can do is set a
timer for a specific period of time and have your child complete an easy task
during that time frame. The task can be something as simply as singing the
alphabet or something as elaborate as having a treasure hunt.
42
43. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
For older children, you may want to turn to the internet. There are a large
number of time management games available for playing online. If your child
knows how to use the computer, which most school aged children and
teenagers know how to do, you may want to find games that they could play
online. What you will find online will vary, but your children may be able to
play a timed fishing game or have a timed shopping spree. Classic arcade
games are also popular and many can be considered time management games.
As for how you can find time management games to play online with your
child or to let your teenager play by themselves, you will want to perform a
standard internet search. Your search can include the phrases “time
management games,” or “free online games.” You will likely be directed to
websites, including gaming websites, that have time management games
online for playing. Most of these games should be easy and free for your
child or children to play. As an important side note, it is always important to
monitor a child’s internet use.
As nice as it is to hear that your children can play time management games,
you may be nervous about letting them do so. After all games are often
associated with fun or even the wasting as time. Despite the fact that this can
be true in some cases, there are a number of benefits to playing time
management games with your kids or letting them play their own games.
These benefits include the development of proper time management and the
ability to quickly think in stressful or emergency situations.

20- Time Management in the Workplace: How to See
Success
Are you a business owner or an office manager? If you are, it is your
responsibility to make sure that your company is making money.
Unfortunately, a company cannot profit from employees who do not know
how to make good use of their time. Whether you notice an increase in
employees socializing on the clock or an increase in personal computer use, it
is important that you put a stop to this behavior right away.
As important as it is to know that employees with poor time management
may have a negative impact on your company and its profits, you may be
unsure as to how you should proceed. Your first impulse may be to terminate
the employees who are causing the most problems or the most profit loss.
Of course, this is more than possible to do, but there are other time
management steps that may prove just as successful. To help you get started,
a few of these steps are highlighted below.
44
45. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
If you notice multiple employees in your office wasting company time, it may
be in your best interest to hold time management training. This training can
be put on and organized by you or other well performing employees or you
can use the services of an outside company that specializes in time
management and organization in the workplace. Time management training
should involve outlining the importance of proper time management, tips
should be shared on how work time should be spent, and consequences
should be laid out for those who continue to waste their time, company time,
and money.
Time management software is another way to reduce the amount of money
lost due to employees who just can’t seem to manage their time correctly.
Time management software programs come in a number of different formats,
so be sure to find a program that has features that you and your staff
members can benefit from. These features should include automated
updates, messages, and reminders on important deadlines, desktop computer
calendars, office wide communication at the click of a button, and so forth.
The use of rewards is another way that you can work to improve the time
management of your office employees. Although we often associate rewards
with young children, adults are likely to produce better results when those
results are noticed. Be sure to comment on employees who perform well at
the office or meet all deadlines. You can implement an employee of the
month program or offer pay raises to those who make the best use of their
time.
As much as employees who perform well and improve their time
management need to be rewarded, those who don’t need to be called out.
One of the many reasons why office workers waste time is because many
know or feel that they can get away with the behavior. Be sure to first give
warnings if you notice an employee of yours who is socializing as opposed to
working or if an employee of yours regularly turns in their projects late.
Termination can be used as a last resort.
45
46. Haytham Al Fiqi
As a recap, employees who waste company time can put your business at risk.
As a business owner the last thing that you want is to see your company fail
or lose profits. If you are not a business owner, but rather an office manager,
it is still important that you take action immediately. If you do not, you may
end up taking the fall for the employees who just can’t seem to properly
manage their time at work.
21- Time Management Software in the Workplace: Is It
Worth the Cost?
46
47. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
Are you a business owner? If you are, do you have any idea how much time
is wasted by your employees? Chances are, you will find that quite a bit of
time is wasted. In fact, you may be surprised to know just how much time
many of your employees spend time doing something other than working.
Remember that even five minutes here and there of socializing with
coworkers or surfing the internet is likely to cost you a considerable amount
of money in the long run.
Since wasted time in the workplace is a problem that should be fixed and
right away, there are many business owners who choose to use time
management software to their advantage. Unfortunately, most time
management software programs are costly. With that said, there are a number
of instances in which time management software is more than worth the
costs. Will it be for you? It will honestly all depends on a number of factors,
a few of which are highlighted below for your convenience.
The amount of money that your company is losing by employees who don’t
know how to manage their time should be taken into consideration.
Although it will be difficult to determine an exact figure, closely watch those
in the office for one day or even one hour. How much money do you think
was wasted? Times that amount by one whole year or even just a month.
Chances are, time management software will more than pay for itself. This
makes it a good investment. In fact, if you have multiple employees in your
office who just don’t seem to be able to manage their time, an office wide
software program is advised and well worth any costs.
Speaking of costs, the amount of money that you will have to spend on time
management software for the office should also help you determine if it is a
wise business investment. Of course, you don’t want to end up paying more
than you need to, but it is also important to keep quality in mind. Quality
software programs are more than worth the extra cost, as they will likely allow
you to see a return on your investment. It may, however, be in your best
interest to take a few minutes or a few hours to research, examine, and
compare time management software programs.
47
48. Haytham Al Fiqi
In keeping with time management software programs, you may want to
examine those that work on an office wide basis. Can you access a program
and it contents from multiple computers in the office? You should look for
software programs that allow you to do so. This can allow you to checkup on
your problem employees. It is also ideal for projects where team members
must work together and share important information. Another neat future to
look for is the ability to send company messages through the software
program, sort of like an alert.
As a reminder, it may be a good idea to first research and compare time
management software programs before purchasing one. This will help you
protect your business investment. Since time management software programs
do come in a number of different formats and do have different features, it is
important that you know what to look for in a software program. Most
companies find success with tracking features that allow them to track the
progress of problem employees, regular, yet automated updates and
reminders on important deadlines, desktop calendars, and so forth.
As for whether or not your office can benefit from the use of time
management software, you should be able to. If you want to test out a
program before purchasing one, see if a free trial period is available. If not,
first search for free programs online and give them a try. If you like what you
see, consider investing in a similar time management software program that
gives you more features and better results.
22- Time Management Tips for Students
48
49. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
Are you a high school or college student who finds it difficult to manage your
time? If you are, there are a number of steps that you will want to take to
improve your time management. After all, having poor time management in
school can have a number of serious consequences, including poor grades.
When looking to improve your time management, it is important to know
that there are a number of tools that you can use to your advantage. As a
student, you likely have a computer and a cell phone. Many already come
equipped with time management programs that you just need to start using.
These programs can include calendar alert programs where a special message
will appear on your screen or you will receive an email or a text message. A
standard internet search can also help you find and buy additional programs
that can be installed on your computer or even your cell phone.
Another time management tip for students, like yourself, is to stay organized.
Organization is key to staying on task and focused. If your school locker or
desk is messy or cluttered, you will likely end up wasting a considerable
amount of time. For many students, a considerable amount of time is wasted
looking for lost or misplaced items, like books or homework assignments. If
your locker, home desk or dorm room desk is not clean and clutter free, take
a few minutes to get organized.
Another easy and effective way for you and other students to better manage
their time is to prioritize. When doing so, it is important to take a close look
at what you have to do. For example, what homework assignments, study
sessions, and so forth need to be completed first? Simply just creating a to do
list isn’t enough for many students. By determining ahead of time which
tasks are of more importance, you are better likely to manage your time and
produce the best results.
One of the many reasons why high school and college students have poor
time management is because they find it easy to get distracted. If you find it
easy for you to get distracted, it is important to examine the source of your
problems. For example, do you end up surfing the internet when using your
computer? If you try to watch television when doing homework or studying,
do you find that most of your focus is placed on the television? If you do,
action should be taken. Temporarily disconnect the internet from your
computer or turn off your television.
49
50. Haytham Al Fiqi
It is also important to be flexible. If you are an individual who hates change
or the unexpected, you need to get use to it. Even those who have good time
management skills and those who rely on the use of schedules are often
presented with unexpected events, an example of this being coming down
with a cold. That is why it is always important to leave “wiggle room,” for
yourself. Set aside a little bit of extra time each day to do with as you please.
Whether you use that time to finish a project, study, or socialize with friends,
it is important to have it.
As nice as it is to know that you should be able to effectively manage your
time as a high school or college student, it is also important to know the
consequences of not doing so. As previously stated, poor time management
may translate into poor grades. If you do not know how to properly manage
your time, you may find yourself not studying properly or you may be unable
to complete important assignments before they are due. From the standpoint
of a student, proper time management may also help to eliminate stressful late
night study sessions.
As highlighted above, there are a number of steps that you can take to
improve your time management. As a student, it is extremely important that
you know how to effectively use your time.

23- Time Management: Tips to Help You See Success
Are you a person who finds it difficult to stay focused and to stay on task?
Are you regularly late for important events or do you turn in projects or
homework after the deadline? If you do, you may need to improve your time
management. The good news is that there are a number of tips that can help
you do so. A few of these tips are outlined below for your convenience.
One of the first things that you will want to do is create time management
goals for yourself. These goals can be for different things. For example, you
can set a main goal of improving your time management in a specific period
of time, like two weeks or a month. You can also set individual goals for
yourself, like arriving to parties, social events, work, or important business
meetings on time. No matter what goals you choose to set for yourself, they
are important, as goals work to provide motivation.
Another way to improve your time management is to determine where you
have the most problems. What exactly is it that causes you to waste time?
Chances are you already know. If not, do a little test. Walk though a normal
day and record what times you get distracted the most and what you are doing
at those times. Do you find yourself wasting time when socializing with
friends, using the internet, or watching television? If so, reduce or completely
eliminate those distractions.
It is also important to note that there a number of time management tools
available for your use as well. These tools should not be relied on daily, but
they can be used to help you establish a routine. As for what time
management tools you can use, you may be surprised with all of your options.
To do lists, daily planners, and alarm clocks are all great ideas. Many modern
computers and cell phones also come with time management tools, including
alarm clocks, calendars, calendar alerts, and so forth.
As previously stated, a to do list is a time management tool that you can
benefit from using. As helpful as a to do list can be, it is important to also
prioritize. You will want to list your items in order of importance. For
example, if your list focuses on tasks to do at home is it more important for
you to do laundry, vacuum the house, or wash dishes? The order of your lists
should all depend on importance and urgency.
51
52. Haytham Al Fiqi
One of the best ways to properly manage your time is to stay organized. In
fact, poor organization is the leading cause of wasted time. If you are
employed, be sure to keep your office desk clean and clutter free. When
doing so, you are able to stay focused and on task better. You should be able
to get more work done, as you should spend less time searching for misplaced
or lost documents. Organization is not only important in the workplace, but
other areas that you frequent, such as your home or your car.
The above mentioned time management tips should be able to help you
better manage your time on your own. With that said, it is important to
remember that sometimes help is needed. The last thing that you want to do
is be overloaded, whether it be at work or at home. If you need to outsource
some of your work to a coworker or if you need to hire the services of a
professional housecleaner, go ahead and do so. Once you are caught back up,
you can begin to properly manage your time. As much as we all want to
complete our responsibilities on our own, it is important to remember that
sometimes help is needed.
By taking the above mentioned points into consideration, you may be able to
better improve the use of your time. There are a number of benefits to
having effective time management both at home and at the workplace.

24- Time Management Training: What It Entails
Are you an office manager or a business owner? If you are, you must know
the importance of time management in the office. Did you know that when
your employees don’t know how to manage their time, they likely end up
costing your company money? Whether you are a business owner or an
office manager, you do not want to see this happen.
When it comes to poor time management at the office, there are many office
managers and business managers who choose to provide their employees with
time management training. If this sounds like a good idea to you, you may be
looking for more information. You may be curious as to exactly what time
management training its, how it works, and what your staff members will
learn. If these are all questions that you have, you will want to continue
reading on.
When understanding time management training, it is important to remember
that it does come in a number of different formats. For example, most
companies choose to hire outside specialists. These are individuals or teams
of individuals who come in and teach staff members the importance of
proper time management, as well as share tips on how to get the most done
through the day. A good example of this is by showing or helping your staff
members get their office desks better organized. This is key, as organization
and time management go hand in hand.
As nice as it is to hire outside help from professional office organizers and
time management specialists, the cost of doing so may be a put off for you.
If it is, you may be able to host your own time management training sessions.
Doing so is actually a lot easier than you may originally think. In fact, many
business owners and office managers like this approach as it gives them
complete control over what their staff members learn.
53
54. Haytham Al Fiqi
Speaking of what your staff members will likely learn in time management
training, it will vary. As previously stated, you can hire outside help or you
can perform your own training sessions. Regardless of which approach you
do take, there are some things that you will want to make sure that your staff
members know. First, make sure that you not only tell them the importance
of properly managing their time at the office, but show them ways that they
can improve the use of their time. These ways may involve keeping a clean
and organized office desk, completing a to do list each morning, and so forth.
It is also important that you outline the consequences for employees who
continue to waste company time. After time management training as has
been offered to all employees, there is no reason why employees should be
seen standing around, socializing with each other, or using an office computer
for personal use. State that these things are okay for break time, but not
during normal work hours. You may want to go as far to show your staff
members just how much their wasted time is costing the company. Let them
know that additional warnings may come, with termination being a possibility.
As a reminder, time management training is not required by many means, but
you may find it a relatively easy and effective approach, especially when
compared to terminating and rehiring new employees.

25- What To Do With Employees Who Don’t Properly
Manage Their Time
Are you a business owner? If you are, there is a good chance that you have
employees in your staff who do not now how to manage their time. What do
you do with these employees? If you are unsure as to how you should
proceed, please continue reading on.
First, it is important to do something. The last thing that you will want to do
is let an employee who has bad time management fly under the radar. Many
business owners do not think about this at the time, but there are a serious
consequences for not calling out poor performing workers.
One of the many consequences to allowing one of your employees to keep on
wasting their time and yours, is that others are likely to follow suit. Even
some of your best performing employees are likely to waste time socially or
by surfing the internet when they see that others are able to do the same and
get away with it.
Your business profits will also likely be put at risk. When an employee
spends too much time surfing the internet or wasting time in general, it will
likely take much longer for you to get projects completed. This can have an
impact on your business profits. For example, you may later end up paying
your employee overtime to complete a task that they should have finished
during normal work hours.

If your business deals directly with the general public, an employee who does
not know how to mange their time can also have a negative impact on your
company’s public perception. Deadlines should not be missed, but proper
time management is vital when working with clients. Did you agree to have
forms drawn up on time for a client of yours? If you did, they should be
ready when expected. If not, your client may look elsewhere. Also, places
that have employees just hanging around the office and socializing tends to
look unprofessional in nature.
So, you now know the consequences of letting an employee with poor time
management slide, but what should you do?
It is important to bring a lack of time management to the attention of your
employee or employees. Let them know that wasting time on the clock is not
acceptable, especially when there are other tasks or projects that they could be
working on. Clearly state that socializing is for break times only.
Next, be sure not to let the same behavior continue. Workers who have been
warned about wasting their time and the time of the company should not
have any excuse for doing so. Give one more final warning before taking
evasive action. This action may include terminating your employee’s position
with the company.
Despite the fact that termination is an option, you may have what you believe
to be an otherwise good employee. If that is the case, you may want to opt
for time management training. This can be done yourself or with the services
of a third party. In fact, if you have a large number of employees who seem
to not know how to manage their time, you may want to opt for company
wide training.
Should you decide to host your own time management training seminar, as
opposed to using outside help, be sure to share tips with your employees,
outline the importance of making good use of their time at the workplace, as
well as the consequences of not doing so. This leaves no room for
exceptions and you should see a significant improvement in productivity in
your workplace.
As a recap, if you are a business owner or even just an office manager, it is
important to make sure that all of your employees are working to the best of
their ability. Your company and your own personal reputation may end up
taking the fall for those who do not perform to the best of their ability.

26- Basics in Time Management Questions
57
58. Haytham Al Fiqi
We all have to find what works best for our
individuality, since each and every one of us is different.
Accepting our own actions, behaviors and thoughts is not
the beginning of learning who we really are. Rather, it is an
attribute, which follows a connection between our past and
our futures. You heard the nonsense “never look back?”
Well, the people that are telling you this are in a big office
basing their ideas, theories and guesses on experiences and
lifetimes. Hypocrites need to pluck the needle from their
own eyes and quite advising others, since obviously the plans
they make rarely work. This acceptance starts with the basics
in managing our time. The basics in time management are
setting up goals and plans that are obtainable. When we set
goals for our selves we must ask…”Is this goal obtainable.
Do I have the ability to achieve this goal? How do I plan to
make this goal successful? Asking questions then is one basic
element of diverting a time management scheme that works
smoothly. Asking for help is another basic element in time
management that leads to success. Success is the greatest
reward that life has to offer us.

No one knows it all, so sometimes we have to ask
for help. When you are asking questions, you are letting
others know that you have a goal and you are searching to
obtain that goal by seeking out a solution. When we question
our selves, we are performing a therapeutic technique that
helps us to find answers to unanswered questions. For
example, if you are getting married in July and it is January,
you may want to ask yourself is your timeframe suitable?
Does the timeframe work with your schedule? Am I ready
for this? Do I have the ability to manage a marriage? If you
see where I am going, it is obvious. Many people commit to
marriage, but often neglect elements of time management,
that are essential for making the marriage work. Time and
money is invested in this arrangement and often wasted,
since the marriage leads to divorce. Likewise, if we are
starting a new business, we have to ask questions. Questions
are the root of establishing a time management scheme that
leads to success. Don’t let pride get in the way of obtaining
your goals. Pride is a root of evil and it does not bring forth
good results when utilized inappropriately. Maintaining pride
brings us to ‘keeping it simple,’ which is another basic rule in
time management. Keeping it simple is smartest element in
time management since it works to benefit our mind, body,
and responsibilities. Simple does not mean to be simple
minded, neglecting your responsibilities. Rather, simple
means to put a plan in motion that works smoothly and
effectively, while reaching for your goals. One example of a
simple plan, is when problems arise it is often because someone made
a mistake, unless nature is in the picture. If we are making plans to
obtain goals, then we want to analyze carefully which
strategies work best to reach that goal. We want a plan that is
logical and simple; so that it informs us which steps to take
next to reach our level of success intended, without feeling
doubts or running into complications constantly along the
way. No plan is flawless, so keep in mind when you are
creating a plan for time management “role playing” can
often decrease risks in plans. This means when you come up
with an idea for your planning scheme, you would ask
questions, play out the part, and focus on the results. If good

results come from the actions or decisions, you know then
that the plan will run smoothly. Life is too short to waste
time, and time is wasting money, so learn the basics in time
management so you can reach your goals. Time manages
everything. No matter what we do in life, it all revolves
around time. We can spend time wisely and get results from
our efforts, or we can waste time and sit back wondering
what happen to our lives?

27- Goals Require Work and Time Management
Any single goal requires hard work and properly
constructed time management schemes to work in harmony
in an effort to achieve our dreams. When you are diverting a
plan to meet your goal then you need to work a time
management solution that runs smoothly and consistently. I
am going to include an example of a faulty time management
scheme and an over-your-head goal agreement:
According to Business Week Online, filing
bankruptcy is going to be harder than ever. Lawyers say that
getting your bankruptcies out of the way now can save you
headaches later. Statistics show that many people are filing
bankruptcy and rushing to the court doors are many more
business owners and others. If you this is not your goal,
don’t worry, but if you don’t have a time management
scheme well-thought out, you might be one of the
individuals that was listed in Business Week Online,
struggling later to get a bankruptcy in action.

Is this your goal in the next ten years? If not then
you had better get to work committing yourself to the
requirements (which include hard work and effort on your
part) in order to achieve your goals. Time slips from our
hands, and if we are not monitoring our time carefully, then
time and money is lost forever and there is no turning back.
Today, it takes two people to meet a single goal. However, if
we are single, it is possible to move ahead with less effort
than we realize. For example, you can cut back your time by
doing your work on time. You can also make a wise decision
and get a job that pays you the money that you deserve in
sink with your skills. There are many decisions when it
comes to managing time, and no decision should be left out.
In the course of ten years, anything can happen. We can lay
out a well-constructed plan that seems bullet proof, but
suddenly everything changes when we did not calculate all
aspects of life into that plan. Now, the percentage of
bankruptcies is often a direct result of negligence in time
management. Some of these people most likely failed to add
and subtract disaster in their time management plan, while
others may have took for granted their achievements and
went on a spending binge. Whatever the reason, someone
did not put work and time management in proper force.

When we plan to achieve goals, we should look at
our selves foremost, and then move onto other requirements
that support our goals reach. Knowing our selves first can
help us to see if we are lacking in one area, and which area of
our being is the strongest. Time management schemes help
us to reach goals, by keeping us motivated. If we are lacking
motivation (it takes work to stay motivated during the
process of reaching your goal), then we need a solution.
Starting with knowing our selves is the first step to setting
goals, achieving goals, and setting up a time management
scheme that works. Once we come over this obstacle, we
next move to planning to reach our goals. We start with
WORK and Critical THINKING! One of the best tools in
our lives is education since it directs us in the right path to
success. If you are lacking education and skills and your goal
is out in left field, you know that you need to improve.
Starting a business is never easy. It takes time, effort and
money. If you do not have these three ingredients, your goal
is cooked. Therefore, you need to set up a budget, savings,
and monitor your time carefully to meet your goals
expectations. There are many ways to make money and save
money. All we need is the knowledge, skills and the
willingness to achieve. Now, if you are looking at the picture
in this article, in the next ten years if you don’t plan to
struggle with the law to file bankruptcy, then you better get
the ball rolling now and work hard every single day; while
you carefully lay out a plan that helps you reach your goals.
