Managing time effectively is an art that, like many other forms of art, can be learned. Of course, it goes without saying that you must be willing to learn it in the first place, otherwise there is no point, is there?<\/p>
I've found out recently that if one wakes up earlier in the day, they are likely to find that they days are much longer than what they're used to. Waking up at 5AM enables you to get much more done than waking up late and sleeping late, that just boosts lethargy and makes you slower. Yes, that's a thing. So how can you make sure you can be effective when it comes to time management?<\/p>
1. Wake up early: <\/b><\/p>
This one was obvious, wasn't it? Not only does waking up early ensure that you are ready to tackle the day ahead of the curve, it also ensures that you will sleep early to make up for the sleeping time to facilitate you waking up early in the first place. You'll also find that your days are longer and that you can accomplish much more than what you previously thought was possible, including hitting the gym that you've been promising to do. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514969048024","data":"5a4c988db4cec"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514969050511","data":"
2. Underpromise, Overdeliver: <\/b> <\/p>
Whenever you're asked for a task, make sure you do not agree to it right away unless it is extremely important. Promise to look into the matter and do it anyway, this will save your time and also the person who's asked you to do it. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514969091291","data":"5a4c98b709d57"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514969109740","data":"
3. Prioritise: <\/b> <\/p>
Of course, the above point would be crippled without remembering the fact that you need to be able to prioritise your work effectively. Trivial tasks seem easy to conquer but that'll just cause you to push back on important ones which will cause you to panic and not focus on it properly. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514969135261","data":"5a4c98e7be80b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514969159351","data":"
4. Learn to say no: <\/b> <\/p>
One of the most important parts of learning to manage your time is learning to say no. If you have something important going on and someone comes along and asks you to focus on something else or your friends ask you to hangout when you know you've got something important to you, you absolutely need to know how to say no. It'll save you a ton of time. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514969194443","data":"5a4c99127c985"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514969201607","data":"
5. Take A Break: <\/b> <\/p>
You maybe wondering why on earth would I advise you to take breaks in an article about using time effectively, but that is as important as the rest of the points, mostly because you need to let yourself for a few minutes every hour or so and avoid going into a burn out. This keeps your focus up and allows you to finish your work effectively, thus saving time. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514969614766","data":"5a4c9ab5e21ed"}]

Ratan Naval Tata, who was born on 28 December 1937 in Bombay presidency, British India, is one of the most successful entrepreneurs of independent India. He is an inspiration for many entrepreneurs around the globe. Today as we remember his achievements on his 82nd birth anniversary, lets look at his life and learn a lesson or two from his experiences.<\/p>
His journey from a new born!<\/b><\/p>
Ratan Tata was born to Naval Tata and Sooni Tata on 28 December 1937, in Bombay , British presidency. His parents seperated when he was 10, he was later adopted and raised by his grandmother,Navajbai Tata .He studied in Bishop cotton school Shimla, he graduated from Riverdale country school, New York City.He then received a B. Arch. degree in Architecture with Structural Engineering from Cornell University, and, in 1975, graduated from the Advanced Management Program of Harvard Business School \u2014 an institution which he has since endowed.<\/p>
His road to the successful career.<\/b><\/p>
Though he was born in the Tata family, he earned his position. In 1961, Tata began his career in the Tata Group, working on the shop floor of Tata Steel, shoveling limestone, and handling the blast furnace. Promoted to management during the 1970s; he then endured trial by fire and was able to turn Group company National Radio and Electronics (NELCO) around, only to see it collapse during an economic slowdown.In 1991, J. R. D. Tata stepped down as chairman of Tata Sons, naming him his successor.During the 21 years he led the Tata Group, revenues grew over 40 times, and profit, over 50 time. On 28 December 2012 he resigned his executive powers from tata group and appointed Cyrus Mistry as chairman of Tata group. He was later removed from the post on 24 October 2016 and Ratan Tata was made the interim chairman of the Tata group, till 12 January 2017, after which the position was handed over to Natarajan Chandrasekaran. Ratan Tata invested his personal savings in Snapdeal, Teabox, CashKaro.com, Ola Cabs, Paytm, Xiaomi, American Express, Bitcoin venture Abra, Nestaway, Dogspot.<\/p>
Along with the fame and stardom he was honored with the Nation's prestigious awards<\/b><\/p>
Ratan Tata received the Padma Bhushan in 2000 and Padma Vibhushan in 2008, the third and second highest civilian honours awarded by the Government of India. He has many other honors and awards to his name.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1546070110219","data":"5c264e17ef077"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1546070110221","data":"
Contributions to the society:<\/b><\/p>
\nMr. Ratan's strong belief of giving wealth back to the people is reflected in his donations of approximately 60-70 per cent of his wealth, especially in the support of education, medicine and rural development, distinguishing him as a leading philanthropist in India.In 2010, Tata Group companies and Tata charities donated $50 million for the construction of an executive center at Harvard Business School (HBS).The executive center has been named Tata Hall, after Ratan Tata (AMP '75), chairman emeritus of Tata Sons. The total construction costs have been estimated at $100 million. <\/p>
Tata Hall is located in the northeast corner of the HBS campus, and is devoted to the Harvard Business School's mid-career Executive Education program. It is seven stories tall, and about 155,000 gross square feet. It houses approximately 180 bedrooms, in addition to academic and multi-purpose spaces. Tata Consultancy Services(TCS) has given the largest ever donation by a company to Carnegie Mellon University for a facility to research in cognitive systems and autonomous vehicles. TCS donated $35 million for this grand 48,000 square-foot building that is going to be called TCS Hall <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1546070110220","data":"5c262890460f7"}]
My idea of college, I believe was a lot linked to infrastructure and the fancy facilities that permitted me to explore un-chartered territory and secretly find about a secret society that existed years ago but is functioning till date, only secretly this time. \n\nEither way, St. Francis wasn\u2019t on top of my list. \n\nIt was a back-up I thought I wouldn\u2019t need. \n\nBut well, now I am the Undergraduate student who\u2019s not going to spend 3 years during her B A studies but 4. I changed my course after two semesters of B-Com, and now pursue Arts. <\/p>
\nIt seems almost that because there was so much that I had on my list to what \u2018looked like a good college\u2019 , is that I landed in one that is well, to put it mildly , in stark contradiction to the idea of a \u2018handsome\u2019 college. It doesn\u2019t have vast areas where you can bicycle your way around the campus exploring, nor has swimming pools or multiple canteens and multiple auditoriums or a \u2018sunset\u2019 point etc etc. \n\nBUT , now that I sit\/lay down\/ whilst listening to what I am now calling new-age music gone classic-vintage; I realise that a good college doesn\u2019t have to look \u2018great\u2019. You just need to be \u2018good\u2019 to it ( in more non-metaphorical or vague or philosophical terms - have an open eye to what you see and know, and don\u2019t jump to conclusions to sit on your butt complaining about shit you don\u2019t have and the so-called shit you do have).You be good to it, and it will be great to you. Yes. <\/p>
\n\nYou\u2019ll realise the the Library has the hidden secret-societies you were looking for. The canteen is economical and noisy and well, better than a bench with tea and samosas only. The indoor stadium is actually in a state you can still boast about it, and there\u2019s basketball too. The pani -puri guy and needs-dhaba is more than any midnight-maggie point you wish for. \nYou get to eat ghar-ka-khana and have the joy of opening your tiffin box and bask on the glory of its contents knowing that it shall be tasty and worth the wait through the sleepy hours. You bond with friends sitting on the floor in the corridors of your 3 floor main UG Block, than what you would have thought on a campfire in grass at a national fest. You have rocks and trees that connect you with Nature, and more often than not with my dear friend.You have inspiring literature TEACHERS who know why they are teaching what they do, and how they do.<\/p>
You learn that self-sufficiency is the key to survival, and not dependency on the class whatsapp group for last minute notes hours before the exam. You adapt to multi-tasking as you plan for three birthday parties in the same month, just days apart. You imbibe efficient working as you give yourself only hours to finish an assignment because you know you'll live up to the task. You struggle with identifying yourself in the pile of things\/activities\/responsibilities you sign up for. There is always someone else who is just that little 'notch' higher on the scale of comparision.<\/p>
You find really similar yet insane people who are trying just as hard as you to not just fit in, but stand out. You find passion and also the lack of it. But somewhere between all of this tangled mess, you discover a little more about yourself, and for that, you have your college to thank.<\/p>"}]
What was the best thing or the best memory you enjoyed in school?<\/p>

1. Birthday - The day when we get to wear the casuals and everyone would sing Happy Birthday song.... The best part was distributing the chocolates with our best friend<\/p>\n

The Universe that we know and see is not the same as it exists. There are still many unknown facts that we don't know. Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent. What we know and see is not the same as it exists. There are a lot of facts about space. Some of them are:-<\/p>
1. Space maintains pin drop silent!<\/b><\/p>
Sound waves need a medium to travel. As there is no atmosphere in space, space will always be completely silent. Astronauts can talk to each other in space as for them, radio waves scan travel through space. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1545135427659","data":"5c164ffad0f3c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1545135427660","data":"
2. Space smells like a welding workshop!<\/b><\/p>
Though it is impossible to smell space directly or through a spacesuit, astronauts report that upon returning from a spacewalk, their gear smells like hot metal and arc welding fumes. The source of this star could be byproduct from dying stars, the traces of which can be found throughout the universe.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1545135427661","data":"5c1650184c84d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1545135427662","data":"

5. If two pieces of same metal type touch in space, they bond and permanently stuck together.<\/b><\/p>
It happens because the atoms of the individual pieces of metal have no way of knowing that they are different pieces of metal, so the lumps join together.This amazing effect is called cold welding.

When we were in our tenth standard, all of us must have heard one classic statement from family and teachers which goes on \" Study hard and get great scores, You'll be sorted for life\". No, this didnt stop there, the statement followed us to our graduation too. The whole point is every hurdle let be tenth or graduation or PG or the competitive exam (GRE, TOFEL, IELTS and others) all are important. But did you ever observe what is common in all are hurdles that when known can hike the scoring?<\/p>
They are various skills that we must indulge in which are Verbal, Quantitative, IQ, Everyday Life's Physics and such other. Many of us are taught these or some take up coaching for getting placed in an MNC or Admission in the desired course.<\/p>
Basically, these generic courses stands out as a gate for our great career. Luckily, I realized it soon and keep hunting for such coaching classes. I recently worked on my verbals and now I excel in it. It's time for me to master another important field and that's Quantitative for my competitive exam.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1544693698124","data":"5c1236b64631c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544693698123","data":"

Today, we all know about StuMagz as an Digital Campus Ecosystem which initiated as an online student discovery platform. After joining the team I realized it more than a student discovery platform. It's one stop platform that not only brings students, but also colleges together.<\/p>
I joined in StuMagz on 21st december 2017 by StuMagz SREC team with the help of my friend named Krishna Teja who inspired me a lot to join StuMagz. For over 100 articles that I have written, I got immense support from StuMagz SREC team especially Brother Nirmal who guided me well in maintaining the standard in my articles and Sisters Rishitha & Varsha who helped me in choosing the topics for writing articles. Initially, I felt little nervous that I might fail in expressing my opinions clearly.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544611823814","data":"
With that fear somewhere in my heart, I published my first article on 25th December, 2017. By the response of my first article, I then felt that the reason behind my writings should be the love of writing or else I will not have the motivation to write for a long time and then I will eventually give up writing.<\/p>
I am not very sure about this point and neither do I have an attractive style of writing, but I have developed my own way of writing, sharing my feelings which helped me to express more. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544611823815","data":"
Reading, writing, and researching for writing articles inevitably unfolds the hidden grooves of our brain. It gives us a sense of responsibility, rational thinking and quick approach to do things. With the passage of time, by reading and writing for StuMagz, I have discovered my love for words, my love for writing. I discovered my deep interest in writing emotional topics.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544611823816","data":"
Writing is the ultimate tool for self-discovery, which is the ultimate means to lead an authentic life. With writing, we can effectively communicate our ideas and thoughts. With writing came views, comments and messages. I felt that the quality of articles in StuMagz were impressive which when read gives us some knowledge. There is so much to learn from other people. Everyone is bestowed with a wide range of ability and multiple bits of intelligence that no single number can ever define who we are. The trick is to identify ourselves and work appropriately according to our heart's words.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544611823817","data":"
The very advantage of writing articles in StuMagz is the ability to convey the information. This is extremely important because it improves the ability of framing our thoughts during communication. First of all, it\u2019s good to help someone. As we probably heard that \u201cThe more the knowledge we spread, the more the knowledge we gain\u201d. It is a good habit to write in any platform as it helps us to improve our writing skills in english and StuMagz is one such platform. If one is a first time writer, then StuMagz is a good place to polish one's writing and hone their writing skills.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544611823818","data":"

Looks are superficial. They don\u2019t really say a thing about who somebody who actually is. You know what looks are? A combination of genes: something that nobody can control.

Because of looks, it is hard for some people to be taken seriously.

After facing the exams like a warrior, finally I got some time to write something. When the exams get finished, we feel as if we have fought a war and achieved victory over it (of course keeping the results aside). Holding a pen in the exam hall feels like holding a sword and the question paper with the answer booklet feels like the opponent with its shield. A battle that goes on for 3 hours.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1544113620812","data":"5c0951b8e5e7e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544113620805","data":"
In the same way several battles happen in our lives on daily basis. But, along with each battle at the physical level, one more goes on and that is \u201cthe battle against ourselves\u201d. The battle against our own self goes on in our mind. This happens every single day but usually we aren't aware of it. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1544113620813","data":"5c0951c8cfa0c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544113620806","data":"
Here I am going to tell about one such battle that happened with me some 2 months back. One day I went to the barber shop to get a haircut. It was around 9:30 AM when I reached. Apart from the one being served by the barber, there were 4 more people waiting and I was the 5th one. Since, only one barber was there that day, it was going to take time but since it was the regular shop, so that was ok. At around 11:00 AM the person before me was being served and suddenly, the electricity went off. The GHMC authority informed that electricity lines were disconnected in the area for some technical problems thus, electricity supply will be reconnected at 2:00 PM. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544113620807","data":"
Since, haircutting was not possible then in the dim light so I gave my contact no. to the barber and told him to give a call once supply comes. At 2:15 PM I went there but when I reached, supply went off again. I came back home to have lunch and at around 2:45 PM, I got a call from him to come. I reached within 2 minutes but when I reached there, I was the 4th one. So again I had to wait. And finally, my turn came at 4 PM. In the meanwhile, when some people complained about the late service, the barber was giving my example to them. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1544113620814","data":"5c0951e667fed"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544113620808","data":"
Once I watched a video named \u201c5 lessons that the Army teaches you\u201d by Captain Raghu Raman, in which he says, \u201cIf battle is not going to happen, it won\u2019t happen for weeks, months or even years. But the moment it happens, you should be in a position to face it. Every day keep the thought that \u201ctoday battle will happen\u201d when you step out of your home.\u201d. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544113620809","data":"
And that day, it did happen; against the time that tested my patience and determination to get something of my choice. It was a battle that I fought with myself and I won. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1544113620810","data":"
Thus, the most difficult battle that we can win is the one against our own self. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1544113620815","data":"5c0951f3e8427"}]
