2. a) Read the text and title each paragraph:
1. _________________ It seems that there is never enough time in the day. But, since we all get the same 24 hours, why is it that some people achieve so much more with their time than others? The answer lies in good time management. Time management is the process of planning and controlling how much time to spend on specific activities. Good time management enables an individual to complete more in a shorter period of time, lowers stress, and leads to career success.
2. _________________ One of the biggest problems that most people have, isn’t just in how they can get enough done in such a demanding world, but also how they maintain some balance without feeling too overworked. This isn’t just about achieving and going after goals around the clock. This is also about quality of life.
3. _________________ If you lack balance in your life, you’re going to feel stressed out. Even if you’re able to effectively juggle your responsibilities, without proper balance you’re going to eventually reach your breaking point. So, it’s important to not only follow a system that will help you get things done, but also prioritize personal and family time. Don’t forget to do things like take a walk in the park or just sit and listen to your favorite music with headphones on, or paint a picture, go on a date night and so on. That’s more important than you can think.
4. _________________ And when you do that, you achieve some balance. Life is short. So don’t ignore those things while you reach for your bigger goals.
