Everyone will meet time problem. We will never can change back time. Make them faster or shorter. So, what must we do? We just need some methods to manage time. We should know about time management. How to fill the time that we have. (Ivan, 2009)

 

One of the best lessons that anyone can learn in life is how to use time wisely- William A. Irwin -

Realize time is important. Time is Money. Time is precious. Maybe there are some things that we want to do in this life. How to manage them? There are 3 things that we must have. They are Goal, Plan, and Action.

First, GOAL. What's your destination in your life? Why do you want to get them? Everybody maybe will answer it different. But everyone must have a goal in their life. This is important, because there are many people that don't know why they lived, what are their purpose. Life only as adventure or as routines. Although life is a trip that need to planed by us. If you haven't plan, take a time to think about it. If you need, looking for someone who can guide you. This is Important Step. Don't feel sorry later when you get old, “Why I was not manage my life since young?”, “Why my life like this?” Of course, it always come late.

After we know what we want to get in this life (this is for long time goal), we can continue with make some plans or targets for short time as steps for the final goal. Target for 5 years later, target for this year, even target for tomorrow. Make target tune in your ability. You can write them in your book too.

Second, PLAN. " If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."This statement show us how the important is planning. If we have clear destination, so we can prepare steps and methods to get them. Some steps that we can do are...

• Set activities

Flashback our activities that we always do. Choose that we need to do and unneeded. Select them correctly. Don't forget to put in good rest and some refreshing activities. Use small notes to write them.

• Set priorities

Sometimes we still want to do things after we select our activities. We can do all, but the result is not good, even the most important can be ignored. Pour your caress to your priority. Stay focus.

Third, ACTION. Talk less do more. Discipline to keep doing what you've been sort in tone with your priority. Keep it simple. Don't spent the time to complicate something. Do it easy, so you will find the more time. Stay focus again. So you can arrived at finish line safely. (Hoctro, 2008)

One day, a man said, “Alas, the prophet Muhammad, actually, I have acceptall of Isl law. Because that, please give me important thing to my occuppany.” The prophet Muhammad answered, “ Wash your tongue with ‘zikir” (HR Tirmidzi and Ibnu Majah)

The best way to use the time is, lets do that. Throw away the laziness. The will and mind must be united to do the real action, not only words. The point is "Do what you write, and write down what you do". All of them done in a way. The best way to begin is begin them (Marie Edmund Jones) (Nanto, 2011)

Friends, lets contents the time with the easy thing. Something that we can do now, small thing that we can do early, and small thing that will be much because we do them consistently. Keep spirit
