Greetings, dear Steemians! Have you ever had the experience of taking hours to do something, when you could do it in one? When it comes to success that stems from a competent mindset, time management is one of the most important aspects of character development. After all, and as we have said many times before, time is our greatest resource. A lot of people have the potential to achieve truly amazing things, but their negligence of the asset of time always leaves them with less than they deserve. ![image1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZtLCSporDhxFoK5dHLzd91Dt9DBfb8ipAt1FoaECMGDR/image1.jpg) img src

Think about this: Have you ever sat down to do something, and suddenly realized that you have been trying to do it for hours but are actually busy with something else and aren’t getting the thing you want done? If that is the case, then you need to rethink your task management strategy and see ‘time’ not as a dispensable set of seconds in our daily routine, but as a valuable resource that cannot be reciprocated. Implementing time management to your daily routine is not as easy as you might imagine. It is a set of rules and principles that require determination and resolve. For our first blog post regarding time management, we will talk about the power of deadlines and how they can affect your efficiency through the day. ![image3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPfNWvMX4L4saFgMge7FJAqdWGJ3xAZdkVwGhR2XKaHiP/image3.jpg) img src

Choosing deadlines for your activities eventually becomes a habit in your daily routine. To have a deadline is to decide with absolute vehemence to do a job in the predetermined timeframe. Imagine that you are paying loan installments every month. You and the bank have agreed on a monthly bill that has to be paid, whatever the circumstance. The bank has given you a deadline, and that in turn created for you a sense of urgency. That sense of urgency compels you to accomplish that task in the necessitated timeframe. To set a deadline for your other activities is no different. When you decide to do a job and finish it in an hour, you will do everything that is in your potential and your capabilities to finish it within that hour. This means that you will allow no friends or family, and no interruptions or pastimes of any kind distract you from finishing that task before the determined deadline. ![image2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf1eTa2NfhKtDdBgemQfMXV9gK3wGJ1GUP6ZVdBQ59HMY/image2.jpg) img src

The fight for your dreams starts in your mind. For once, deceive the mind that is always deceiving you by using the power of deadlines. Create context and determination in your thought, the thought of doing something in a determined and limited time window. Note that upon achieving this, you will have a much higher self-esteem, for you have advertently broken your own record and proven that you can be so much more than what you give yourself credit for. """"Use the Power of Deadlines as the first step towards your journey in time management; a journey that has its own challenges, but you will never live to regret taking them on"""" I apologize for not being able to respond to everyone who writes meaningful comments and actively participating in this community but you who are here will always have my upvote as a way of thanking and everyone knows that and I have the goal to help everyone achieve an upgrade in life of all of you every day and form a community that wants to program your Positive Mindset and help each other and so we will be a unique community where the main foundations are the respect, the generosity that can serve for many people.
