By Dr. Ashok Jetawat, Chairman – Motivational Society of Achievers
In the race of life, two things often feel like they slip through our fingers—time and peace of mind. We all get 24 hours in a day, but what makes the difference is how we use those hours and how we protect our inner calm.
Having guided thousands of professionals, students, and entrepreneurs across India through the Motivational Society of Achievers (MSA), I’ve learned one powerful truth:
Master time, and you’ll reduce stress. Master stress, and you’ll reclaim time.
Let’s explore how to make that happen.
The Time Management Mindset
Time management isn’t just about planners and to-do lists—it’s about prioritizing purpose over pressure.
Core Principles:
- Plan Your Day the Night Before: Clarity in the evening means power in the morning.
- Follow the 80/20 Rule: 80% of results come from 20% of actions. Identify them.
- Time Blocks Over Task Lists: Schedule when, not just what.
- Say No to Distractions: If it doesn’t serve your goal, it deserves a boundary.
“Time doesn’t need more hours—it needs more intention.” – Dr. Ashok Jetawat
Stress Management: A Skill, Not Just a Struggle
Stress is not always the enemy. Managed well, it can fuel focus. But unmanaged, it eats away at health, happiness, and productivity.
Practical Tools to Reduce Stress:
- Deep Breathing & Meditation: Just 5 minutes a day can calm your mind.
- Digital Detox Zones: Step away from screens to step back into clarity.
- Gratitude Journaling: What you focus on grows. Focus on the good.
- Physical Movement: Walk, stretch, or dance—move your body to reset your brain.
And most importantly: Talk.
Speak to a friend, mentor, or guide. Stress multiplies in silence but shrinks with support.
The MSA Approach
At MSA, we don’t just talk about productivity—we train minds to work with peace and purpose. Through specialized sessions on Time & Stress Management, I’ve helped:
- Students break the anxiety of exams
- Professionals build calm into their chaos
- Leaders manage teams without burnout
Our model integrates mindfulness, neuroscience, and practical daily rituals—tailored for real people in real life.
Final Thought
Time is your most valuable currency. Stress is the tax life charges when time is misused. But with awareness, discipline, and support, you can own your day and protect your peace.
You don’t need a longer life—you need a better-managed one. Start today.
