Rise and shine: the 24:7 Society

The speed of change in the times we are living is rapid. We are now living in an age were tomorrow in not soon enough. Our mind set is now centered on the notion of time management. The cornerstones of personal effectiveness are anchored on making the very most of our opportunities. In her presentation on time management, Janet Askew, gave us important hinds on planning and prioritizing. In her exposition she used an Action Priority Matrix perspective, which is a simple diagramming technique that helps in choosing which activities to priorities and which one to drop if we are to make the most of our opportunities. In this perspective priorities are ranged in order of importance, starting with the non negotiable urgent tasks up to the insignificant things. By choosing our activities intelligently we can improve our personal effectiveness.
