Avoid “efficiency traps” 
10 Time
Management Tips
1. Write things down  Just because you are busy and
A common time management
mistake is to try to use your
memory to keep track of too
many details leading to
information overload. Using a to-
do list to write things down is a
great way to take control of your
projects and tasks and keep you
organized.
2. Prioritize your list 
prioritizing your to-do list helps
you focus and spend more of
your time on the things that
really matter to you. Rate your
tasks into categories using the
ABCD prioritization system
described in the time
management course.
3. Plan your week 
Spend some time at the
beginning of each week to plan
your schedule. Taking the extra
time of 15-30 minute to do this
will help increase your
productivity and balance your
important long-term projects with
your more urgent tasks.
4. Carry a notebook  together.
you never know when you are
going to have a great idea or
brilliant insight. Carry a small
notebook with you wherever you
go so you can capture your
thoughts. If you wait too long to
write them down you could
forget.

Make The Best, Out
Of The Waste
In the present world where we
have cutthroat competition in
almost all the fields, it is difficult to
survive as a common man. You got
to have something that is
extraordinary or something so
special. This 'special factor' should
come right from the childhood and
if you have missed this feel-good
factor, let us now try onto your kid
so that they do not suffer the
challenges as you might have in
your past life!
Let us learn how to make best out
of the waste! The idea behind this
is very simple – to make something
that is creative and can draw
everybody's attention. Generally,
schools and colleges are coming up
with such projects that make pupils
learn how to make best out of the
waste.
To create something, the pupil
should have enthusiasm. This can
be developed by encouraging the
spirit of doing something new,
exciting! Parents and friends play
major role in this. Let your kid
understand that everything waste
is not actually waste and it can be
used to make things best.
Simple example is the ice-candy
sticks. They can simply be collected
and made into some shape –maybe
a ship or some tree. Likewise, you
can also collect some marbles and
gift wrapper pieces that can be very
useful in decorating the Xmas Tree.
The creativity lies in your sight and
you are the one who needs to use
it, keep going, and keep celebrating
your waste making best! By these
creative and innovative efforts, we
will finally save nature which is our
collective responsibility.
TIME
Someone said that “Time is
Money”. I don’t know who has said
but whoever said it, I fully agree
with him.
Why you may say, but even if you
do not notice it, it plays the most
important role in our lives.
We study, we work, we play, I
mean each and everything that we
do are done in the consideration of
time. Without time we do not
achieve anything in life, which
includes success.
Although the best utilization is done
by the Indian Army who take each
and every minute of life at upmost
important.
With time you will never run behind
success, rather success will run
behind you.
Who is the BEST-
Infosys, Wipro or
TCS?
One day, three consultants, one
from Wipro, one from Infosys and
one from TCS, went out for a walk.
"Why don't we prove who is the
best among ourselves?"
Why not, said the other two.
The Infosian said "Let's have a
test. Whoever makes this monkey
laugh, works for the best firm".
ear. The Monkey just takes off! It
runs and runs as fast as it can, as
if it was scared to death! The other
two surrendered.
They Said: "OK, we give up. You're
the best among us, and you work
for the Best firm of the three. But
please, please tell us your secret,"
they begged him.
"Well", said the Infosian, "The first
time I made it laugh, I told I work
for Infosys. The next time, I told
the monkey how much I get
paid ...so it started crying. And
then I told that I was here for
recruitment!!!"

Being a pure logical strategist, the

person from TCS tried to make the
monkey Laugh by telling jokes. The
monkey stayed still. As a more
practical consultant, the Wipro guy
tried to make funny gestures... No
good, the monkey stayed put.
Now, comes the Infosian. Being the
practical guy he was always trained
to be, he whispered something into
the monkey's ear, and it burst out
laughing at him. The other two
were astonished.

So the Wipro guy said "OK, let's

take another test. Let's make this
monkey cry!!"

So there they went again, applying

the same methods as before. The
TCS guy narrated sad stories, the
Wipro guy made sad gestures, and
they failed again.

Then, the Infosian again whispered

something into the monkey's ear
and oh! It started crying, patting
the Infosian's shoulder! The other
two just could not believe their
eyes!

So the Tcs guy said "OK, you've

won twice. If you can win just this
one, we will bow to you. Let's
make this monkey run".

And he barked at the monkey and

ordered him to run. Of course, it
stayed where it was.. The Wipro
guy, true to his type, pushed and
prodded the monkey- still No go.
So...here comes Infosian, again,
and whispers into the monkey's
