Time ....our most important resource must always be negotiated
Any activity we are on without time reference is a waste of time; it is like going to the market and paying for goods what we feel is right without reference to the pricetag or carrying out any negotiation.
Time MUST be negotiated for every activity so that the most is done for every set time.
There is a saying that if one sleeps for 8 hours, it is the third of a lifetime (8/24).
Time must always be negotiated for every engagement to harness the most from every transaction in exchange for another value which could be a promotion, certifications, achievements, financial gain. an accreditation, and such and such.
Everyone has an equal share of time every day and the choice of use is totally discretionary.
The propensity to do poorly with personal time negotiation is very high for everyone and it will take a strong vision and zest to continually win in the negotiations.
It is even more challenging in our time to poorly mentally negotiate time favourably because of so many easy choices of many distractions 24 hours tv, social media, sleeping time with air conditioner, past success, past failures, economic quagmires, policies of government and various other issues that have come to define human experiences.
Our pursuit of excellence and high quality of life must overwhelm all distractions so that we are mentally set to always negotiate the use of time efficiently and effectively.
Effective means "producing a result that is wanted". Efficient means "capable of producing desired results without wasting materials, time, or energy". https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/eb/qa/How-to-Use-Effective-and-Efficient
The other dimension to time management is the multiplying effect of accumulated time from team and organisations engaged on certain task.
When you invest into other people's time in an employment or a contract, there is a multiplying effect and benefits.
It is not possible to harness more than the investment one has put in a bounded time.
How to increase the time value daily?
Everyone of us have 24hours and probably 10hours daily for productive tasks that may me traded for other values like monetary gain. When one employs 10 people daily towards achieving certain task, what such persons have done is increase their daily time value from 10hours to 10hours time 10, which becomes 100hours daily.
The income potential on the 100hours daily is relatively 100 times or more for such that have invested this way and this is the benefit of being an employer of labour.
For emphasis any activity we are on without time reference is a waste of time and we must give time the needed acknowledgment as the most valuable resource. Hiworks
