EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS

How to Gain Control of Your Free Time

By Laura Vanderkan

I would like to mention a quote before starting the summary of this video.

“We don’t build the lives we want by saving time. We Build the lives we want & then Time
Saves Itselves”

 Time is Elastic which means that time will stretch to accommodate what we choose
to put into it.
 If I say that I don’t have time for a thing, then it means that it’s not my priority.
 In this video the speaker asked us 2 questions and evaluate our answers.

Q1. What 3-5 things would make it a great year for you professionally ?

1. Graduating with good scores and finding a suitable job.

2. Help out in my Family Business.
3. Making Business Connection with people in our Industry

Q2. What 3-5 things would make it a great year for you Personally?

1. Going to gym to workout atleast 5 times a week.

2. Making a Habit or reading books.
3. Good health of all my friends and family.

 These 2 questions will define our personal and professional goals.

 There is 168 hours in a week and out of which we have atleast 60-76 hours to ourself
if we exclude Sleep and Work. So a persons growth and personality development
happens in this time itself.
 When we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in the time we’ve
got.
