Procrastination is my greatest weakness when it comes to time management. A frequent excuse, that can often be heard being uttered from my lips for not completing tasks adequately or timely – “I’ve got too much on.” The message that I pondered over the longest and which I will take away with me is that we should ‘Work Smarter and Not Harder.’ At times, it is all to easy to get buried under the weight of our commitments and aspirations. We can lose sight of our end goals, leading to more procrastination. Sarwari details how we can overcome this by prioritization, delegation and remaining consistent in the daily tasks required to achieve our end results.
