Question

Q.1. Read the passage given below carefully: 10m

Time management is the act of planning and managing time that is spent on various activities. It helps

us to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the time utilised. It helps us to work smarter instead

of harder and also enables us to get more work done in less amount of time. Planning the time may

seem to be wastage of time itself; however, the benefits of time management are enormous. It results

in less stress, increased productivity, efficiency, professional and personal growth etc.

Time is limited and hence it is important that we plan our time wisely and make the best use of the

limited hours in a day. Time is something that we cannot store or save for later use. We cannot retrieve

the time that has been wasted; hence, we need to learn to use it effectively. If we have to manage time

effectively, we need to be organised and focussed.

With the help of time management techniques, we can accomplish more with lesser efforts. Time

management includes effective planning of activities, setting of goals, setting deadlines, delegating

work, prioritising our activities etc.

Most people feel that they always have too much to do and within too little time. Managing time

wisely will help to find the right balance between time and work. A few people resort to multi- tasking

in order to get the work done within the specified time limit.

At times, this may result in poor performance in the various tasks assigned. The mistake committed

while working is when one is in a rush to meet the deadline without taking proper breaks for rest or

relaxation. It is impossible to focus on work and to produce good results without considering any

break in between. It helps to perform better if one takes five minute to break every two hours of work.

One can either take a walk, enjoy a cup of coffee or simply meditate.

When it comes to harnessing your time, time management, books are a must. They are a great way to

learn from an expert and understand your time better than ever before. Many of the best lessons can be

picked from these books.Answer any ten of the following questions on the basis of the passage you have read: (1×10=10)
