Articles: My Thoughts | Time Management
- Mr. Kumar K

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
A willingness to go beyond one’s limitations, by operating outside a level of safety and comfort. With any endeavor in life, if you want to be successful then you must make the choices that lie beyond mediocrity.
The truth of an upright man must be accepted on his own terms. Moreover, since natures vary, we must agree that all the beauties of human excellence may be fostered by faiths that we do not share. The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
The 4 Levels of Time Management:
There are 4 levels or tiers to time management. All of us coming into this world begin at the first level. As we learn through experience and as we grow, we can move up and operate at higher levels.
Level 1 - The Oblivious
People on this end of the spectrum have no concern or any idea where there time is being spent. They are easily tossed to and fro by the most fickle of circumstances.
Level 2 - Becoming Time Aware
As one assumes more responsibilities in life, an awareness of time (or an awareness of the lack of time) begins to develop. All of the pressures of life : the job, the bills, the kids begin to weigh upon us.
Level 3 - Discarding What is Useless
This natural progression toward wanting more time begins our journey into the development of time-management skills.
Level 4 - Kaizen
If you’ve arrived at that place where you are operating in Level 3, perhaps you’d like to go a little further. This is about a lifestyle of excellence, where highly-effective people function.
Remember that this is a lifelong process. Don’t live a life of quiet desperation. Sing your song while you still have life to sing it! Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
