We all wish there were more hours in the day at times but since we’re stuck with the 24 we’ve been given, it pays to make the very best use of them that we can.
Mastering the art of time management results in many benefits: among them, less stress, friction, and wasted time, greater achievements, and increased opportunities.Time is our most valuable resource and we have some tips to ensure you make the most of it.
To help you to achieve this, we’ve broken it down in following categories:
Successful People know where they’re going. It’s important to set yourself regular short-term and long-term goals; list and pin them up or have them prominently displayed. And keep a track on what you have achieved and what’s yet to achieve.
And in today’s era of technology you can also use an app or a conventional planner to organise your works, write a ‘to-do’ list, categorising tasks that can be done today, tomorrow, next week, etc.Check in on your to-do list on regular intervals but don’t stress about the amount you have to get through.
Getting a good start can eliminate your desire to procrastinate. A productive morning can change your mindset and inspire you to achieve more throughout the day.Then try to turn your key tasks into habits. Spreading your workload across a few days allows you to get into a routine and develop positive habits. For example- Instead of doing 500 pages in a single day try to do 50-100 pages daily, this makes the task seem less daunting.
Planning is easy, execution is the tricky part! Treat your study plan like a personal bible and push yourself to stick to it. Allocate an adequate amount of time for each task and notify yourself when it’s time to start or finish.Sometimes we get carried away with the amount of downtime we have between tasks. Spending too much time on the phone or watching television can distract you from your study schedule, so make sure you’re alert and focused when it’s time to get back to work.
Work-life balance is the state of equilibrium where a person equally prioritises the demands of one’s career and the demands of one’s personal life. Often, work takes precedence over everything else in our lives. Our desire to succeed professionally can push us to set aside our own well-being. Creating a harmonious work-life balance or work-life integration is critical, though, to improve not only our physical, emotional and mental well-being, but it’s also important for our career.
Here are some ways to create a better work-life balance
Sometimes it’s hard to switch on when you haven’t switched off! Sleep deprivation goes hand in hand with stress and a lack of productivity. Getting seven to eight hours of rest a night as often as possible can help you perform at your optimum best. It’s also recommended that you avoid screen time 30 minutes before bed.
Take at least 30 minutes every day to clear your mind by doing activities such as yoga, meditation, reading or even just resting.As with many thoughts running through your mind on a daily basis, carving out some ‘you’ time can help improve your focus and can assist you in working more effectively.
There is no better feeling than signing off for the weekend and winding down or catching up with friends. However, taking one or two hours out of your weekend to organise for the week ahead can dramatically reduce your workload. Remember, a little sacrifice can go a long way!

The Delhi Government in this year’s budget has set aside Rs 10 crore to set up a boarding school for children from homeless families living on the roadside, footpaths, under flyovers and stairs, or in open places of worship, pavilions, and railway platforms, who are deprived of basic facilities like shelter, food, and education.
There’s a general belief that children generally do better in family settings than in institutional ones, but when the family or neighborhood settings have become so toxic or not suited for the growth of children that it puts them at risk, a boarding school sure beats the atmosphere these homeless kids live in. Unstable living situations can jeopardize any child’s ability to learn.Stable housing and safe neighborhoods, in other words, matter as much as good teaching and supportive schools in the education of our kids.The educational community knows this and it’s a welcome step that Delhi government has taken a lead role and step in recognising this issue.
First and foremost, these schools will provide shelter and home to these homeless kids which in itself is an achievement restricting them to fall into the vicious cycle of begging and other problems and crimes. Secondly these residential schools will prove much helpful in a child’s overall development. Let’s see how this will happen.
Task force will be rolled out in a phased manner,in different districts.Youth reach would be the funding and strategy partner of the project. The team will consist of case workers and counselors who will be deployed district wise and will work in close collaboration with the Child Welfare Committees(CWCs).Task force will focus on five pillar model of rehabilitation- Education,Vocational Training, Counseling and medical support,Sponsorship,Guardianship,Shelter and Home for child.
With the launch of this product, the early warning system and DCPCR’s 24×7 emergency helpline,the commission is launching a comprehensive mechanism for identification, prevention and relief for children at risk.”
Citizens can inform about such children on DCPCR helpline number +919311551393.
Every government scheme has its pitfalls and drawbacks.As the government fails in creating an aware atmosphere where people in backward areas don’t even know what the central and state government is doing for them.Major problems in the implementation of this scheme that needs to be mitigated are-
There is a need for better coordination among civil societies, NGOs, and government in improving transparency, quality, and the effectiveness of a policy or scheme.By This, we will surely succeed in its proper implementation with the support of the government.
If this scheme is effectively implemented then this will prove to be a boon for the homeless children we see on roads and pavement which will lead to further effective utilisation of the human resources of our nation.
And if succeeded in Delhi, other states and UTs will also follow the suit leading to the universalisation of Public Boarding Schools throughout the country helping the nation to fulfil the goals of Home and education for all simultaneously.
