“Time and Tide waits for none
But I always know its value, when its gone”
16th September, 2010 was the day our "4th MSP meeting" was held.
Like they say "big things come in small package" same goes for the MSP
meetings. I don't know why I can't afford to miss these meetings, there's
always something new in every meeting.
Time Management (Allen sir)
This topic was striking in my mind (other MSP's too) when I heard about
Allen sir would be presenting it. This was what every students needed,
because we are so busy in our day-to-day life that we don't even have time to
look at our watch. Basically what i understood was, it’s about managing life
with respect to time. You don't have to go far to understand time management, just look closely at your watch. What do you
see???? Before you jump to any answers, let me explain.
Compass and the clock are the two most important part of a watch. Take
clock as your the ultimate goal(aim) of your life , its what you actually
want to be. In the other hand , compass is the direction. So, compass and
clock can be related as nail and flesh, they are interconnected. You cant reach
the clock if your compass is not right Your current activities will drive
you in the direction you are moving..
Sharpen your saw
The next thing that caught my attention was "sharpening your saw".
Most of students don't think about some questions like what am I doing? What do
I want from life? . Its time , step back and think what i want to do with my life?
Should I follow my heart or brains? i would say don't go with the " go
with the flow" attitude, take time to sharpen your saw, follow what you
actually want o do. I think the movie “3 idiots " give us the basic idea about
sharpening the saw, like Farhan Qureshi did in that movie.
Time Matrix
Put your life in time matrix. For that what you need to do is:
Divide your life into four quadrants.
In the first quadrant (Q1), Urgent and Important
In the second (Q2), Important - Not Urgent
In the third quadrant (Q3), Urgent - Not Important
In the fourth quadrant (Q4), Not Urgent - Not Important
Now put your day-to-day activities and priorities in these Quadrants. Allen
sit told in the presentation that Q1= Necessity, Q2 = Leadership and effectiveness,
Q3 = Deception and Q4 = Waste and access which is in my view very much
true. So choose your quadrant and plan your life from today because planning is
the best way to get results.
Start Planning
The best way to plan is jot-it-down (write it). Don't plan about a year but
rather break it down into monthly, or weekly or daily. It might be 30 minutes a
week or 3 minutes a day. There can be lot of excuses not to write but it’s
just a habit and no one is born with habits and new good habits can be
made.
4th MSP meeting (conducted by Pradip Kandel
sir)
A lot of things were discussed in this session. It was more interactive
because we had one to one discussion with anyone in the room. I got
informations about upcoming events and install fests. Locus was the event
organized by IOE pulchowk and Drishti by KEC kalimati , these two were the
nearing events about which we discussed the ways to conduct it.
Books
MCSE in a nutshell was the books given to MSP's to read and write a blog on
it. Two books were distributed in which I got one and another Dicchya
Shakya(MSP2011, IOE pulchowk) . I was more than happy to get this book because
it was my ladder which could help to get one step closer to MCSE
certifications. This is the second book I got on Server , the first one was Windows Server 2008 which I
got in MSP SummIT 2010 as a prize.
Conclusion: To conclude this blog I would say " prioritize your
priority and thus manage your time:
