In the article "Time Management – 4: Time Wasters – Part One," CA Jeetendra Mistry discusses the concept of time management and identifies common time wasters, particularly focusing on procrastination. He emphasizes that everyone has the same 24 hours in a day, using Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's complaint about insufficient time to illustrate this point. Mistry suggests that instead of trying to extend our hours with multiple watches, we should analyze how we spend our time to identify gaps where we can save time. The first time-wasting behavior he addresses is procrastination, which he describes as a natural tendency of the human mind to delay actions. He stresses the importance of changing this habit by consciously setting deadlines for ourselves. Mistry illustrates this with an example from lyricist Javed Akhtar, who explains that the time he takes to complete a song depends on the deadline; the closer the deadline, the quicker he works. This reflects Parkinson's Law, which states that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. Overall, the article aims to help readers recognize and combat time-wasting behaviors to improve their time management skills.
