How to Manage Time With 10 Tips That Work
Are you having difficulties managing your time at work? Here are a few quick suggestions for boosting your productivity and improving time management in the workplace:
Question Yourself
It's easy to get caught up in mundane “busy" work that distracts you from more important projects. Always ask, “Is this the best possible use of my time at this exact minute?" If not, stop what you're doing and direct your efforts toward another activity that is going to give you a bigger payoff.
Shut Your Door
If you find it hard to get your work done because of drop-in visitors, don't be shy about shutting your door to discourage interruptions. Of course, you don't want to lock people out all day long, but this is a particularly useful technique when you really need to concentrate for just an hour or two.
Tame Your Technology
Do you find your entire day eaten up by phone calls and emails? You may think that you're being efficient by responding the second a new communication comes in but many times, the reverse is true. Send your calls to voice mail and turn off your email notification. Then check your messages once in the morning, once after lunch, and once more before you leave the office. You'll be able to respond to important issues as they come up, and still have time to get some actual work done!
Clear The Clutter
Some people have a hard time staying focused because the piles and stacks distract them from the task at hand. Clear the clutter off of your desk and other visible surfaces, then only have out what you are currently working on. That way, your eye (and your attention) won't be drawn away as easily.
Write It Down
If your mind can't seem to settle down, and you keep thinking of the million OTHER things that you have to do, keep a pad of paper on your desk and write down each of these to-do's as they occur to you. Emptying them out of your head will allow you to stay focused on the task at hand, without fear of forgetting something important.
Organize Paper To-Do's
Rather than simply piling all of your paperwork into a single “in-box" tray, consider setting up a series of action files in a rack or box on your desk with one for each type of to-do. You might have a folder for “to file," one for “to read," one for “to contact" or whatever makes sense for your job. When you receive a new stack of paper, take a second to sort it into the appropriate files, according to the next step you need to take with each item.
Schedule It
A lot of folks are great about creating to-do lists, but never seem to get around to marking any of the items off! If you face this sort of challenge, try actually scheduling each to-do on your calendar. Commit a chunk of time on a specific day to each item on your list and you will be amazed at how quickly you get it all done.
30 Seconds Or Less
Not all to-do's are created equal nor do they all take the same amount of time. Some items can be completed very quickly (like bookmarking a website, filing a business card in your Rolodex, or entering an important number in your cell phone). When a to-do crosses your desk, ask if it can be completed in 30 seconds or less. If so, just go ahead, do it, and get it over with -- just one less thing to have to worry about later!
Sometimes, It'S Okay To Procrastinate
This one is a corollary to the previous rule. It's not always the best use of your time for you to tackle a to-do right when it comes in. Let routine items that have no set deadline and that take a bit longer pile up (in a folder, not in a stack) for a few days, then tackle the whole batch at once.
Consolidate Routine Actions
Hopping back and forth from one activity to another is a big time-waster. If you file a piece of paper then make a call then send an email then file another piece of paper, your brain has to switch gears at each step. Instead try to complete all of one type of to-do before moving on to the next task. Make all of your calls, do all of your filing, and then send all of your emails. You'll find that you move faster and get more done in a shorter amount of time when you're in a groove!
These may seem like simple tasks but combined they add up to a great improvement in efficiency and time management in the workplace.

Ball Bearing Components by MBP-Bearings.com
Ball bearings are comprised of four major parts: a large ring (outer ring), a small ring (inner ring), balls between the rings (steel balls), and a cage to prevent the balls from hitting each other.
The modern structure dates back to around 1500, when Leonardo da Vinci invented ball bearings to reduce friction against the axles of horsedrawn carts. For more than 500 years, the ball bearing has been defined by this simple structure.

Myntra to add home furnishing & personal care products
Flipkart owned fashion retailer Myntra is expanding its e-commerce business into home furnishing, personal care, and more offerings under its jewelry category, reports Livemint. A spokesperson told Livemint that the new move is aimed “at increasing focus on women customers as many of them were searching for home and furnishing products on Myntra.”
App only approach, website launch: Myntra closed down its mobile website in March 2015 only to re-launch it 8 months later in November 2015. It still places a banner asking users to get the mobile app ‘used by over 15 million shoppers’ in its mobile website. In April 2015, Myntra shut down its desktop site, but re-launched it within a month; the desktop site does not list items or products anymore.
Myntra was acquired by Flipkart in May 2014.
Funding: Last month, Flipkart invested Rs 338 crore (~$50.44 million) in Myntra. At that time, the company said it is targeting operating profitability by March next year, with plans to increase sales of higher-priced products and charging for certain deliveries.
Native5 acquisition: In May 2015, Myntra acqui-hired the Bangalore-based mobile application development platform Native5 for an undisclosed amount. The terms and size of the deal have not been disclosed.
