Here is the answer, a man who manages his time effectively and efficiently produces the best. God has given everyone, the same amount of time. Now, it depends on us how we utilize it or let it go in vain.

Power up your work day, manage your time, and relax sums up to smart work.

Just keep in mind, the 4 Ds of negligence in time management.

1.    Delete:  Delete all the unnecessary moves and steps that are creating hindrances in between. Ignore all the unnecessary calls, save it for later. Wake up early and sleep accordingly so that you can feel fresh and energetic.

2.    Delegate: Delegate the tasks which you think someone else can also do at the same pace and efficiency. Delegating means handing over the tasks to someone else.

3.    Defer:  Defer can be defined as the tasks, which are not needed to be completed urgently, you can save it for later. Prioritize or schedule your time table accordingly so that you can come to know which task is more important and which tasks are not.

4. Do: Do is a job that only takes a few minutes to get completed. These are the jobs which do not take much time to complete, it is a kind of touch up or small responsibilities. But never let all these small tasks pile up because piling these can be a great task to complete leading to procrastination.
