Question

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.


Time management is the act or process of planning and exercising active control over

the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increases effectiveness,

efficiency or productivity. Time management may be aided by the range of skills, tools

and techniques used to do specific tasks, complying with a due date. Most of us are

always in a rush. We are making haste. A lack or shortage of time characterises our

lives. As time use researchers look around, they see a rushing and running everywhere.

Instant services rule, pollsters use electronic devices during political speeches to

measure opinions before they have been fully formed. Fast food restaurants add

express lanes. Even reading to children is under pressure.


“Time is gentle deity”, said Sophocles. Perhaps it was for him. These days if cracks the

whip. Our ability to work fast and play fast gives us power. It thrills us. And it haste is

the accelerator, multitasking is the overdrive.


A sense of well being comes with this saturation of parallel pathways in the brain. We

choose mania over boredom every time. We catch the fever and cramming our life

feels good. There are definite ways to save time, but what does this concept really

mean? Does time saving mean getting more done? If so, does talking on a cellular

phone at the beach save time or waste it? Does it make sense to say that driving saves

ten minutes from your travel budget while removing ten minutes from your reading

budget?


It might be simpler to recognize that there is time and we make choices about how to

spend it how to spare it, how to use it and how to fill it. Time is not a thing we have

lost. It is not a thing we ever had. It is what we live in.



a) How can we manage our time effectively?


b) How can time be compressed?


c) “If haste is the accelerator, multitasking is the overdrive”. Evaluate this statement.



d) What does the writer mean by the statement “Time is not a thing we have lost”?



e) Give synonym for „yield‟.
(para 1)


f) Give antonym of „excitement‟. (para 4)
