TEXT 13: CONTROL

Most of us feel it would be great “to be in control” of everything, but the fact is that we are not in control: principles are.
Some system and tools can help us control our time, maximize productivity, and accomplish tasks and projects. Despite the availability of many methods for better administrating our lives, people still have problems that result in stress.
Because being in control of time is so important, most school in the United States have classroom materials that include time management systems.
When we are not in control of our time our success is at risk. To be successful in life, people have to make good use of their time.
Control can also refer to the control of body and mind, and in this area balance is important. People’s emotions, as well as a lack of motivation and direction, can lead to stress and frustration. This can be avoided by having good feelings, self-esteem and a high level of self-confidence.
Think positively – optimistic thinking brings great results. The result does not depend on the organizing system you choose.
Try starting with simple organizing tools like a notepad and pen. Many successful people use only these simple tools to control their projects and tasks.
Be flexible. Sometimes a better and faster way to get to your goal may be found. Never forget your goals. Keep track of your goals and be flexible in your plans.
Take a break from time to time.
Breaks are also important. Use this time to stretch, relax or exercise body and mind. Leave you work room occasionally so that you don’t become annoyed or sleepy. Control stress.

Consequently their desks are a mess of organized to papers and files.

Their problem is not direction. They know what they have to do and how to do it, but they lose their focus because interrupted all the time. The something happens to young people at school. Students often have so many activities each day that they have trouble dealing with all of them without becoming stressed.

The secret is not to commit to more than your handle.

Overload is the result of committing. Some people need to learn to say no. Focus is concentration on one main activity.

It is of great importance for the achievement of your goals. Focus on one tasks at a time and don’t a allow distraction or other tasks to take you away from, what you are doing.

TEXT 9: DIRECTION

Direction
Direction is something we need in order to scape procrastination and become motivated to do what we need or want to do.
Procrastination is finding ways to delay doing tasks that we need to do. We may procrastinate when the task is something we are not yet convinced is necessary or important. If the task is part of our job or schoolwork, it is important. The only way to stay on track is by finding the motivation to get it done.
• Start by listing the advantages of doing the task.
• List of the disadvantages and consequences of neglecting it.
• Be specific and objective.
• Set time limits.
• Plan the tasks in advance.
• Visualize doing the task.

• Concentrate.
There’s a proverb that says: “No matter how far you have walked in the wrong direction, you will eventually have to turn back and take the right direction.
Direction determines destination. So visualize yourself in the place you want to be, going in the direction you want to go.
If you can’t define your destination precisely, how will you know when you have arrived?

TEXT 7: ORGANIZATION

Organization comes from organize, which means to arrange by systematic planning sometimes it’s hard to admit that your life is a disorganized mess. Once we admit that is necessary to improve our skills in order to enjoy life, some self-criticism may be helpful. Marking just a few small changes can make a busy life more manageable.
Sometimes we are so busy we don’t have time do plan our activities. A good way to start is by getting rid of bad habits. Organization comes with the habit of being organized, and we have to start somewhere if we want to obtain this habit. A little push in the right direction to get things started may be one of the solutions.
Organization is so important that hundreds of books have been written to teach people how to organize various aspects of their lives. Just by using common sense, we can see that if we want to get rid of any bad habit, the decisions to change has to come from ourselves alone.
Does this seem too difficult? Try taking an overview of the situation. In what areas do problem arise? How can time be saved? What can be changed in order to achieve the results we desire? Some simple questions such as these will provide ideas about how to become more organized?
If you cannot do this yourself, do a little research on the subject. Only you can relieve stress by bringing order to your life.
