Put your time to good use

This is with reference to the cover article “Put your time to good use” by Anoushay Fatima (YW, October 9). The article gave tips on how to save time and I agree with the writer that sometimes we fail to manage our time by not doing thing at the right time.

I would like to add one more important point, that procrastination is also a big evil that snatches away our precious time. We get fascinated with the idea of delaying things, which messes up our routine and we become stressed out when things pile up on us.

We should keep track of our activities and put our time to the best use by doing things at the right time.

Young World provides the best material to its readers, with motivational write ups and interesting stories, everything is aimed towards building knowledge and developing a good personality in the readers.

The cover article “Put your time to good things” by Anoushay Fatima was a good reminder to all of us who don’t give heed to the importance of time, and thus waste it in doing fruitless activities.

Instead of wasting every minute in doing unimportant or useless things, we should start building a good routine and make a timetable of doing all the important and necessary things one after another. Only this way, we will be able to achieve success.

The clown

This is regarding the story “The clown” by Adeeba Khan (YW, October 23). The story suggested to its readers that to overcome your fears, you must be determined to stay strong, brave and never lose confidence.

If you are scared of something, don’t give in to your fears. Instead, face it and overcome your fears with bravery.

It’s time for a digital detox

This is with reference to the cover story “It’s time for a digital detox” by Muhammad Taha Imran (YW, November 6th). Tech devices are making us lazy and crazy day by day, but still we don’t stop using them. The excess use of these devices pose health risks, such as our eyes being affected, memory loss, lack of physical activity which leads to obesity, and also our detachment to education.

These devices are not doing any good, they are simply a waste of time and energy. Remember that every minute counts and you must utilise your time in creative activities and not on digital devices.
