What then can the average child, youth, men and woman of these contemporary times do in order to berelevant and not get lost in the crowd?
These few tips will help guide us in such a time.
Identifying Your Priorities And Goals
This involves a conscious understanding of what holds true and aligns with your core value and 2ndly is relevant at the time being. This is so important if one will stay focused. Without clear, quantifiable objectives, it’s simple to lose focus and squander time. You’ll be able to concentrate your energy and attention on what is most crucial by defining clear goals.
Jim Rohn once said, “Goals are like magnets. They’ll attract the things that make them come true.”
Minimize Interruptions.
At this point, one might need to take an inventory of what takes the bulk of your time, then brutally decide which should go. Have limits for your social engagements. Avoid being trapped by the urge to respond to all social media, especially email.
My, advice? Set out time for each and stick to that routine.
The famous quote from Jim Rohn goes, “Either you run the day, or the day runs you.”
You’ll be in charge of your day and able to concentrate on what’s most crucial if you get rid of distractions.
Make Preparations before the time

According to Myles Munroe, “Time is the most valuable resource in the world. It is worth more than a diamond. It waits for no one.”
Better preparation, greater productivity
