I consistently find myself pressed for time, and I always leave things till the last minute so I am extremely stressed before an assignment is due or before an exam. Is there any good ways to develop better time management skills?

I think goal oriented versus remaining mindful in the moment are not contradictory modes but complementary. Without a goal, we would never wash the dishes, indeed we would not do much of anything, other than eat, sleep, and stay dry. On the other hand, if we live only for the result, we miss the Now, and the reality that life is a journey not a destination. The goal can help us overcome resistance to action. Once we are working, if we pay attention to the Now, we may find that the task is not so bad as we imagined.

Process-oriented and result-oriented is a unique perspective and outlook. I believe that result-oriented is pretty frank; being that you’re focusing on the result. When you focus on the result, you will reach your goals not in the ways intended; but maybe even a more efficient and effective way! You get to adapt and adjust accordingly as you progress to your main objective. It’s such a more promising attitude! Keep up the good writing! (=

Great post, interesting dilemma at the end. Can one be goal oriented and mindful, i feel that if your goal is to be mindful you can. Doing the dishes while being aware of their result can allow us to be present in that moment instead of resenting it. Perhaps the examples are using the same action but are talking about it from different angles. Who knows, but it makes you think, and thats the important thing.

Good move!
I call it outcome oriented.
I liked to the advantages you list here for result-orientation. Do not discard process orientation so fast. To achieve best results your process must be constantly improved – this is the basic Kaizen believe. So be focused on results, but monitor and constantly improve your process.

Focussing one’s mind in accomplishing a job would give prudent results. Its a strong will power and determination in getting the task done no matter at times when things seem impossible.

Great analysis. I think the two are related and compliment each other.

It’s amazing how much time you save when you move to results oriented. You spend less time messing around, procrastinating, and more time completing the task. This, of course, can be done mindfully as well – it’s the best of both approachs.

Breaking it down into being process-oriented or result-oriented is a sensible way to make the division, as you have presented here. Process-oriented individuals will be more geared towards continuing an activity that they are working on, so as to maintain the smooth flow towards a goal. The result-oriented person will keep the end-result in mind, as they go through the procedure at various speeds. The way you describe result-oriented thinking does add some validity to it.

I really liked the analysis.

Having the flexible mindset in finding a way to a goal is great.

I agree that these two things can be complementary. If you enjoy the process you can get into the zone, and you can achieve an incredible amount. But I guess before you can really begin you have to put into perspective and think why am I doing this. Once you have that long-term motivation in back of your mind and then you can have this ardor for what you are doing at the moment you can achieve great things. In fact I think they are both integral for high achievement. The only challenge is not getting too caught on the unnecessary details, like perfectionism. But otherwise this is a great approach. They really go hand in hand

Oh, yes. Another message of the post is also balance. I personally have the strong feeling that balance (as in yin and yang) is also needed here. I’m talking about the balance of enjoying the process and creating the desired result. For me, to bring those two together is sometimes a challenge. If you enjoy the process to much and live in the now, it seems like losing the drive to create results. The necessity and urgency of it vanishes – you fall behind, for instance to the competition. If you are focused in the results, you are in the danger of missing the moment. Finding the balance seems to be the key, doesn’t it?

Myrko this post and the lesson within it is priceless!

The dish example especially was brilliant because we do that with so many things in our lives not snapping out of these unconscious driven states and realizing hey, wait a minute I am doing this to have a nicer, better, more pleasant, etc… existence for me and hence to take pride and enjoyment in our own personal creations.
