Time and Energy Management
Welcome to vTalk Toast master Club – meeting number #480
Wohooo I am so excited and thrilled , amazed to be at this 480th meeting
we are just 20 meetings away from our quin centennial #500th meeting.
DO YOU THING ALL THESE 480 MEETINGS happened so smoothly ?
I wont say it was a tough ride, but better to express that its not an easy ride
We keep facing a lot of ups and downs, crest and troughs, highs and lows, Yet Yet
we continue to keep the ball rolling
by changing the meeting time, meeting duration , inviting old members guests and what not.
All these shows that we are surviving and doing our best to thrive.
But there are also few days where we did feel the air is so heavy , we tend to cancel the meeting at last minute dismaying fellow speakers and others
Whats the cause of all these?
Well there can be myriad of reasons .
But we can club that into few factors , out of which Time and Energy management plays a crucial role !
We are cognizant of Time management. But how about Energy management ?
Do any one manage your energy as well ?
That seems to be a place where we have to shed more light
Well even before we manage things there are few steps , prime steps to follow to yield better results.
As far as the meeting is concerned, the prime steps is to outline the agenda of the meeting for the benefit of guests and new members.
A Typical toast master meeting has 3 segments
1. Prepared speeches
2. Table Topics
3. Evaluation
But Familiar routines tends to create boredom . To spice up the meeting , To add variety to our life we are here today with a special marathon called – Evaluation Marathon,
Where There will be one speaker and all the rest are speech evaluators. Sounds intriguing ?
Apart from Speaker and Speech evaluators, few roles are indispensable for every meeting
That is none other than GE and her TAG team
For today , there is a GE from a community club – Koramangala Toast master club.
I love the way she listed out the notable features, iconic elements of Karnataka on Kannada Rajayotsava at her home club. She is not only a treasurer , but the treasure trove of lot of motivational stories.
Here comes the confident , compassionate and ever lovely Toast master – Toast master Anitha as our General evaluator
I welcome GE to take over the stage and introduce your TAG team
<GE speaks >
Thank you for elucidating/detailing your roles and responsibilities
Now getting back to our Theme – Time and energy
Even before detailing the steps , lets question it Why ?
Why should we manage time and energy ?
A stitch in time save nine
Yes – because most of the innovations, eye opening conversation, best decisions happens when we are energised and intentional
Time is the only currency equally distributed to all – all have got 24 hours. But how do we manage it what makes us Leaders and Legends
How about energy ?- do everyone has the same energy — Nope
But Energy is renewable . We can deplete our energy; we can revive our energy; save our energy; we can even spread our energy. Energy is contagious 🙂
Today we have an energetic speaker , Software Engineer working for ANS Division in Broadcom, passionate about AI, spend his free time with his family and learning new things.
He is from a place known for its incredible sunrise and sunsets – Kanyakumari, Tamilnadu.
As you all are aware , on evaluation marathon ,the speech is going to be evaluated by every toast master in this room.
Every minute counts(phrase of the day) and we are in an one hour meeting. On that note I call upon any TM randomly to read out the objectives
<Called one Toast master and He/She read the objective>
Thank you
The evaluation order would be
1
2
3
4
– I hope every one has rolled up your sleeves and geared up to listen to evaluate to elevate 🙂
Here comes our punctilious(word of the day) speaker
Toast master Sudar – Infinite Money Glitch – Toast master Sudar
<Speaker delivers his speech>
That was a power packed speech
Now to manage something we have to plan. But, we are already into a project called life . So even before planning , there is a vital step to understand the gaps of time and Energy management.
That is to Evaluate
Evaluation is Essential to Elevate , Be it a a speech / project or anything.
So now lets move on the second segment – special segment of evaluation – where all attendees of today’s meeting wear the hat of an Evaluator
Now call upon <TM > to evaluate – <post the evaluation> – Thank You
Now call upon <TM > to evaluate – <post the evaluation> – Thank You
Now call upon <TM > to evaluate – <post the evaluation> – Thank You
Wow We did justice to the word Marathon 🙂
That was equally jam packed power packed, energy packed, and Time packed
Now you would definitely understand how good an evaluation can act as a catalyst to your growth
To manage anything to accomplishment- Evaluate it
If its time management – Evaluate all your 24 hours
It its energy management – Evaluate what energises you and what eats you
For example –
My screening time is 2 hours per day . My quality time is 1 hour per day
Which really energises me in long term ?
where do I get drained – usually at 3:00 – 400 pm I feel sleepy
Evaluate in this way
By then we become clear headed of the gaps .
When gaps are clear and root causes are unearthed : we can easily pivot to sense the sweet smell of success.
So evaluate it at first step and to detail the next steps of time and energy management – we shall catch up at upcoming meetings of vTalk Toast master club
