Time Management Positive Discipline

Time Management Positive Discipline

Time management schemes require us to focus on positive discipline throughout
the process of planning, acting, and achieving. A positive approach to success is to
understand that today's society is based on responsibility, sharing responsibility, as well
as cooperation and the willingness to progress. No solution is precise, but when we find
what works for us, and adhere to the basic rules, we are well on our way to success and
achieving our goals. One of the major problems with our younger generation is that when
they grew up the focus of responsibility, motivation, and survival was not stressed
enough. In today's world women and men, both have to work to survive, and many
families struggle to raise the children that are sitting at home on video games, or
watching television. Where is the responsibility? Therefore, in order to understand
effective time management skills, we have to relearn what we may have not been taught.
Life is full of stressors and if we do not have positive discipline to survive, we are often
in more trouble than we realize. Goals and plans is what make a person strive to achieve,
and if we do not have our goals and plans in perspective, it is most likely we are going to
tire out or fail. To develop a sense of responsibility we must have the make-up cultivated
within us to survive. The traits to achieve a level of responsibility are self-respect,
compassion, respect, and determination. When teachers and parents that are controlling
our lives and not offer us the ability to function in society raise us, we are loosing respect,
and building criticism, neglect of responsibility, and negative thinking. Not all of us were
raised in a home where both parents worked and neglect of teaching was happening, but
for the many of us that were, we know it is a struggle to manage time and reach success.

Positive discipline then is the process of admitting you are human, equal to
others, and make mistakes. When you make a mistake with planning your time
management scheme, do not get discouraged, rather learn from your mistake and find a
better solution than the original plan. This is one form of positive discipline. Another idea
is to avoid negative thinking of criticizing yourself when your plans fail. Everyone at one
time failed with his or her plans, and sometimes it your fault, while other times it is not.
Be sure to analyze what occurred and divert the plan so your time management scheme is
flowing smoothly again. Think positive. "Wow, this was not a good idea, and I made a
mistake, but I know there is a solution to this problem." If you think about this, you are
accepting responsibility for the mistake, but positively thinking that it is a step back in
your plan, and there is a solution to the problem. Most problems do have solutions, but
there comes a time when there are no solutions available when plans fail. One example of
a problem area that we can evaluate and see there is a solution in one direction, yet no
solution in the other direction. We can look carefully at this disaster and see that if we
had diverted a plan accordingly, this disaster would have not been unfixable. Ok, you go
to your office and fire up the computer. Everything seems to be working fine. You begin
to work through your list of tasks, since you did take the time out to include lists in your
time management scheme. Suddenly, the computer fails. The screen starts flashing and
all you see is DOS telling you a fatal error have occurred Windows is outdated. Ok, now
you are in trouble, you failed to put backup data in your time management scheme, and
all the valuable information that supports you company is on that computer. The worst
thing possible occurs. You take your computer to the Tech and he or she tells you, you
have to reformat the hard drive and we cannot recover your data. This is one example of a
disaster that has no solution. All you can do at this point is restore your computers hard
drive, or buy another computer. Your data is gone forever. Now if you had included
backup in your time management scheme, the solutions available would have saved you
time and big money.
