There are many time management techniques that can be used to enhance your skills and help you improve your efficiency and productivity.

Being more productive with your time doesn’t mean to start over working or multitasking every minute and hour of your life, it means making smarter decisions with your time knowing how to work within your strengths. Sometimes people end up wasting a lot of time through well-intentioned efforts to save money, which in-effect costs them money, but typically they do not realize it. For example, people will buy a bottle of water for the day and not a case to last them the rest of the week, just because the bottle of water looks like a cheaper purchase in the moment. But in reality, you're spending more money a week but the individual product instead of purchasing it in bulk. In cost spending more money and time making trips to the store. Time is an irreplaceable asset; the richest people in the world cannot buy back time that they have wasted. So, it is important that you try to use that time wisely.
Set goals for yourself, a best way to improve your productiveness is setting goals for yourself, team or company. Better to start with short-term goals, goals that are in arms reach of achieving so that you have the motivation to push for bigger goals and to keep improving on your skills.

If you dislike going to work, then you need to explore other professional directions that you will be passionate about as this will improve your happiness.
Stress management is a key factor in your mental health as well as your overall health. Learning how to deal with stress can help you have better control over your thought processes and emotions. It could build or break you; it could show people what type of leader you are: what kind of boss you and most importantly what kind of person you are. Stress and emotions can affect your business life exponentially if not controlled properly. But it is not to say be a complete robot, but it is important to let people see what you want them to see. Look at leaders around you from Presidents, Prime Ministers, and CEOs are great people when looking at self-control. They must deal with and be at fault for many things even for things that is not in their control, but how they deal with it is why they are notable examples. How many times have you seen Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk or Former President Obama lose themselves or cry on national tv, you will never find it, why? Because all these men know that as leaders that are the face of their organization, so they have plenty of people depending on their decision-making skills, calm and level headedness. So, its couple of things to remember when trying to deal with stress or a stressful environment, is that YOUR HAPPINESS IS YOUR CHOICE first. It is common to hear people say, "you are making me mad," but indeed this is never true - nobody can make you mad - only you can choose to get mad, and it is a choice. People can do things that you do not like, and you may wish they would not do, but it is you who controls your own emotions and how you respond to these undesirable situations. Try giving yourself a 10 sec break or a quick breathing exercise and see how that can help give you a better resolution to the problem. Next is to LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS for things, Life is hard. It is not supposed to be this hard, but it is. This is the reality, and it will not help you to focus on what you don't have. It is important to have dreams and aspirations, and to aim to achieve greatness, but it is also important to expect that things will not always work out, and that it is okay when there are setbacks, life-challenges are to be expected and are normal. Every person has positive traits and something to be grateful for. Every person can achieve something within the context of your situation and abilities. It is important to have realistic dreams based on your reality, otherwise you will set yourself up for disappointment. And most importantly DONT LET POEPLE CONTROL YOU!! When you get mad in response to someone else's actions, that person is controlling you. For example, how would you react if someone whom you did not know would pass you in the street and blurt out an offensive remark to you, whatever your answer, it is a "reaction" to that person, so that person controlled you and manipulated your emotions to generate your reaction. A logical person would not answer at all, because what this person said has absolutely no relevance or impact to you or the world. Those words simply do not matter, and do not deserve your attention. So you must think to yourself, that person is very unhappy and has no real goals to set for themselves to elevate. Just keep these things in mind when you find yourself in a undesirable situation, and to keep in mind that your actions come from your mental and that you need to keep both in check if you want to succeed in a leadership role.

Time Management- Time block your schedule, start off by learning what habits to cut short, like if you spend a lot of time playing video games or going out to parties. Set SMART goals for yourself, set goals that you can realistically accomplish within a certain time frame. Set weekly priorities, try to make a list of things you want to get done by the end of the week. Short term goals like waking up early or sending out a certain emails and meeting with X number of clients, can be short term goals you can try to achieve each week.
Health- Like the old saying goes “Health is Wealth” to be at top performance you need to feed your body with the right fuel. Eating a healthy diet is a terrific way to stay healthy, simple ways to stay healthy consume less salt and sugar, reduce intake of harmful fats. Get regularly tested, check your blood pressure and sugar levels, maintain a steady weight, and try to be more physically active.
Productivity- Finding smarter ways to be more productive. Try to keep things simple. While having a productivity strategy is key, it doesn't have to be elaborate or complex. Set deadlines and reminders for yourself. Review goals daily (or at least regularly) to stay on track. Minimize time-wasting activities, like going out often or procrastinating.
Stress- As important it is to successful and productive it is also important to keep a good mental health. Take time out your day to detox your mind and body. Practice self-care routines like yoga and breathing exercise. Reduce your caffeine intake. Spend time with friends and family, try enjoying the moment and not thinking about the unknown future or thinking about work all the time.
Financial Responsibility- Learning what to save and spend is one of the most useful skills any of us can learn. Stabilize your income. If you are a young person, get a job. And if you already have job, try to find a way to bring in a second source of income. Make a budget, set financial goals for yourself whether short term (3-6 months) or long term (1-2 years). Educate yourself by surrounding yourself with like-minded people, role models and professionals in that field. Save money, set aside money for saving and / or investments to give yourself more financial flexibility and freedom in the long run.
There are plenty of ways that we can improve ourselves, but it takes certain actions and levels of discipline to get to the goals we want to achieve.
Today Techie Youth's Program has instilled so much knowledge to me about, fianacial literacy from ways to cut down on spending to negotiating for better prices on items I wish to purchase. The introduction to this program has been clean and smooth in the ways they present the topics to the delivery of information. I feel as if I'm learning new things at my own pace and have plenty assistant along the way.
I learned to look at my purchases more than something i want in the moment, to now as an investment. From the newest smartphone or the hot new ride in the dealership. I now understand that buying the newest product isn't always what's best for me or my wallet, that certain items depreciate over a short period of time. Like a car for example most popular or well-known car brands tend to lose value in their vehicles the second it sold to you and sometimes you would find a better deal going for the older model on the lot, because at the end of the day both cars will get the same job done taking you to point A to point B, only difference is the year the model was made in.
But here's the double-edged sword because some purchases you make can be smart ones. Like the example with the cars earlier some cars are built a little better than others or maybe be a collector's item, so it is worth purchasing especially if looking into reselling that item again to make a return on your investment. If the said item is in good enough condition and has been maintained well, it could still be useful or desired in the market you're selling it in.
The second thing I want to talk about is Saving and this program has helped me look at saving money. That it's more of a lifestyle than some in the moment type of phase. That you have to be willing to dedicate yourself and sacrifice somethings to achieve a goal whether its saying or getting to a certain financial point in your life. Its more than just saying "Make more money." because you can make more money but if you're not saving any your spending/throwing away that increased income. Speaking on making more money that is one keyway to start saving is to find ways to increase your income or find a way to bring in at least two sources of income and to learn how to live of your lesser or most passive income. But even that would be hard if you don't learn how to track your bills/expenses to the penny, figure out how much you're making / spending. And decide which of these expenses you can cut down on or cut out completely from your budget. And if that sounds hard then put it into a timescale for example if you like going out to eat often see how many times you go out in a week and see if you can put most of that time into being more productive in making in your work / skill set. It takes a lot of dedication but like I said earlier saving is more of a lifestyle choice and with many choices comes a certain level of sacrifices but its for the long-term achievements. Such as seeing the increased value of a stock investment or price spike in the retail market.
