We recently hosted an insightful and transformative expert session on Time Management, led by Chakshu Adani. The session opened with a powerful question that instantly made every student reflect: “Where is your time actually going?” Chakshu ma’am explained how modern distractions, unconscious habits, and poor planning silently consume hours of our day. Students were able to recognise how simple behaviours like excessive phone usage, multitasking, and unstructured routines lead to significant time loss over weeks and months.

She dived deep into the psychology of procrastination, explaining how it tricks the brain into choosing comfort instead of progress. Through relatable examples, she showed how delaying tasks creates stress, reduces productivity, and stops students from fulfilling their goals. The session encouraged everyone to identify their personal procrastination triggers and provided solutions to counter them.

To make the learning practical and action-oriented, Chakshu ma’am introduced a range of time management tools and techniques that students could start using immediately. From digital tools like Google Docs to structured planning techniques like Time Blocking and the Eisenhower Matrix, she demonstrated how to prioritise tasks effectively, organise the day intelligently, and reduce mental overwhelm. Along with this, she explained several psychological hacks that help in rewiring the brain for better discipline and higher productivity.
