Time management!!!

One thing you can't recycle is "Wasted time"... so here comes the BIG question, how to manage time?
Usually when i am in campus or at home, i spent maximum time in doing useless things and later i complains that i don't get time for doing creative things or to do something related to study. generally people also have the same complain which i had earlier.
there are many factors responsible for this like not setting the priorities to your work, postponing important tasks because of doing something which your mood says & is more enjoyable or that you’re more comfortable doing, poor organizational skills,
not using your free time wisely...
one day i sat and analyzed what i did and where i spent maximum time and came up with some new & useful ideas. I don't believe in making a chart and then working according to that but still a layout is necessary to manage time.

when i was in school one of my teacher gave me "P-3 tips".

1. Planning
2. Preparation
3. Presentation

before i never paid attention but now i follow it and it really helped me a lot. Now i have a schedule in mind which generally i follow and work accordingly which not only solved my time management problem but also keep me free from tension and stress.

UX intern@Impelsys, summer 2009

This summer i thought of going home for whole 3 months and learning guitar as well as enjoying but i ended up with an internship in Impelsys, for 2 months and my dream of enjoying at home crashed :-(
As soon as I arrived Bangalore, i thought i will do more fun less work but you know when you plan something it don't come out in the way you want it and same happened with me. Initially i had lot of fun including going pubs, movie or malls but after passing two weeks, i had to work as we got too much work and once again my dream of having fun crashed down because of work...
Here in Impelsys, we are six people from IITG and each of us are divided in a group of two and the worst thing is that my team got four times work as compared to other 2 teams. Each team had to built the portal for only one site but we got four diff(kids, teens, parents and teachers & librarians) and then one extra global homepage! and sometimes I worked whole the night in the office or sometimes till late night to complete the work.
Initially i thought of leaving the company as i was not much interested in the work they asked us to do! that too four times than other groups! Finally one day i thought, this is my last day in this company, i don't like this work, i don't wanna work here anymore and i am going to leave this company. Alas.. the same day in the afternoon when i thought of talking with management team to leave the company, my manager asked me to submit some assignment! i thought that it would me my last assignment! but i got interest in that! and finally I decided to continue!

Overall it was a great experience.

My first salary

This summer(2009) is really learning time for me and i am having great experiences about life and also I got to know about human behaviors as well. Especially when someone gets his/her "first salary". Today was the day i have been waiting for as today I got my first salary and i am so happy because this is the money I earned working myself(as a design intern in Impelsys, Banglore) and i can spend it as i want to. No matter how much you get but its an awesome feeling when you are paid for the work you have done. When I got the money, first thing i did was to call my mom and let her know how happy i was after getting paid for my work. She was glad too. After talking for few minutes on phone, she asked me how i am going to spend this money? Really I had no idea how i will spend this but first thing i wanted to do is to buy an i-pod Shuffle as we are not allowed to listen music on office PC and i am a music freak. Also, i am thinking to have a small party tonight!

The Guitar enthu

I bought a guitar in December 2008 to learn playing guitar. I thought one day i will b playing guitar like Satriani, Gilbert, Petrucci, Vai, Malmsteen or at least Hetfield! in d beginning i started 2 practice around 1 hr per day but after some time its lessened because of many reasons like studies etc...
sometimes i feel like instead f Indian Institute of Technology I should b in Institute of Guitar Technology!!! the only diff would be, i will have degree in Audio engg. & Guitar Design instead f simply having a degree in Engg. n Design! :P
