Are you sleeping only a few hours (i.e., 5 hours), thinking you’re saving more time than others?
Mathematically, yes, you saved 8 – 5 = 3 hours per day. That means you have an additional 3 hours a day to do creative work.
So, you’ll always be ahead of others in terms of time, right?
Were all your answers above “yes”? Is this your mindset to save time? Is this how you cut down on your sleep every single day to work more?
Then, my friend, you are in big trouble—or you’ll be soon. Instead of saving, you’re actually wasting your time.
But wait! While you sleep, please don’t be like my friend. After I explained him the dangers of sleeping naked, he finally quit his bad habit.
Here’s an example to make this clear.
Suppose you love to drink coffee and are making it now. How will you?
Boil the milk, add the coffee powder, and use jaggery as a sweetener. Then, stir well. Finally, your coffee is ready. We used jaggery because it’s naturally healthier and isn’t processed, unlike sugar.
Just like processed sugar, you shouldn’t consume processed food. Here, I explained the dangers of processed food: Artificial Food Additive – Its dirty secrets in Processed Food.
Now, what if I tell you I can save time while making coffee? How? First, I will boil the milk, and then…
Then?
Then what?
Yeepppiiii! Your coffee is ready to serve! Isn’t it amazing that I saved a lot of time making a coffee?
Hmm… Does the line above make any sense?
This is similar to your time-saving example at the start of this post. Your body is craving 7 to 8 hours of sleep, but you’re only giving it half.
As a result, just as your coffee isn’t fully made, so is your sleep.
Let me ask you one thing – are you getting proper, sound sleep? These signs indicate that you didn’t sleep well last night.
There’s more to explain about why proper sleep is always necessary
- Sleep not only relaxes our brain but also repairs our body parts.
- On paper, you might think you’re saving hours by sleeping less. Actually, you’re not. Why? Because of work efficiency. For example, a person sleeps 5 hours a day and another person sleeps 8 hours, the second person will be more efficient. Higher efficiency means the work will finish faster with fewer errors. Which is better: a worker making hundreds of errors in 15 hours, or one with no or negligible errors in 10 hours? You decide!

But what can I do? I don’t get enough time to finish my work.
Learn time management. Try to finish your work on time and maintain discipline in your daily activities.
We all get 24 hours a day. If that time isn’t enough for you, it simply means you’re wasting it on too many unnecessary things.
Isn’t your social media addiction the main reason behind your lack of discipline? Fix it now, or you’ll suffer in the long run. Here are 4 powerful habits I follow to overcome any social media addiction!
How can you manage your time effectively? (One practical method which I genuinely follow)
Write down your daily tasks on paper or using any online app like Google Docs (I personally use it – no promotion).
While noting down, try to figure out:
- Which activities are wasting your time?
- Which tasks you can complete in less time?
- What types of work you need to eliminate?
- Which tasks you completed and which you didn’t?
- Time gaps that you could better utilize.
Once you have the answers to those questions, you’ll understand “Time Management”. No coach or extraordinary hack is needed.
