I was working in operations department of my company and usually the work could not get completed in the office hours and I had to complete the remaining after I reached home, I also had to travel 1.5 hour to reach my work place. The situation became challenging when I started preparing for my MBA exam and I wasn’t able to take out time for this at first also i am a kind of person who wants to have a work life balance and would like to give sufficient time for my family as well. I wasn’t sure how will I be able to perform all of them. I wasn’t able to study for initial 2-3 days for my MBA exam as I got carried away with the work but I knew that is wrong and I had to do all things simultaneously. Earlier I used to do my left-over task of office in home but due to lack of time as I needed to start preparing for my MBA exam, I had to find an alternative. So, I made a plan to deal with the situation. I started by waking up 2 hours early and after the routine of jogging, would study quant for 2 hours before leaving for office. I used to study English when I was travelling to my work place. If any task was left from the office then I would use my travelling time for completing that task and then when I reached home, after spending time with my family, I would study for logical reasoning. For improving my calculation speed, I stopped using calculator and would do all the calculation in mind. I learned how Time management Is important in achieving all the task and how by scheduling all our work could make us more productive and effective.
