Time is equivalent to Money. You
must have heard this phrase everywhere and every day. It’s not only true in
Business, but also in day to day life. Travel is an important part of life.
Time Management can help you in exploring more in less time. Punctuality and
Time Management always help travellers in successfully completing their trip. A
missed Train, Flight, Ship or Bus can spoil the whole purpose of your trip. In
this Blog, we will list down a few points that will help you in better time
management while travelling. Time Management helps you in becoming a
responsible Global Citizen, so read the following carefully. Let’s get
started…….
1. Be Punctual: No matter where you
are going, always be 10 minutes before time. This is not only important while
going to the Airport or Train Station, but also when you are on a sightseeing
tour. If you find it hard to be punctual, participate in Group Tours. Group
Tours are very strict about punctuality, and will help you practice Time
Management. If you have seen our Blog on Group Tours, we have mentioned that
Group Tours cover a lot of places in a small time. Thus, Group Tours are good
for practicing Time Management. If you wish to read about Group Tours,

2. Choose Direct Routes: Before
booking your tickets, make sure that you have a direct flight, train, bus or
cruise to your destination. This saves a lot of time in transit. If you are
forced to make a stopover, make sure you have only one. Sometimes Airline and
Train companies offer you cheap ticket for making a stopover. Choose these
options only if you have an avoidable reason. For example: a direct flight from
Tokyo to London is better than making a stopover in between, say Moscow.
3. Duration of Journey: Stopover
may increase the time of travel, but direct connections must also be chosen
carefully. For Example: India is situated at such a location that travellers to
Western USA can travel by either the Atlantic Route or the Pacific Route. It’s
important to see which route or Airline takes less time. Same applies to Trains
and Buses.
4. Create Itinerary: If you are not
travelling in a group, create your own itinerary with time specified for each
activity. Implement the plan as soon as you arrive at your destination. Ask
your family members/friends travelling with you to strictly follow the itinerary.
Do extensive research on the internet to find out more about your destination. It
will help in creating the itinerary.
5. Use GPS: Global Positioning
System or GPS saves a lot of time. It helps you find ways quickly and effectively.
Before travelling to any place/sight, look at its route and possibility of
traffic. GPS gives you the most efficient route at a particular time and place.
We also have a Blog on GPS, to read click: http://360traveller.blogspot.in/2016/12/role-of-global-positioning-system-in.html
6. Avoid Laziness: Always wake up
early and avoid laziness. Remember, you are here for a limited time to see
maximum things. Leaving early sometimes help in avoiding traffic or exploring
an additional place.
7. Travel with Punctual People:
Make sure your family members/ friends are all punctual people. Avoid
travelling with people who are always late as they will spoil your plans. If
you cannot avoid, ask them to strictly follow the timetable.
8. Time or Money: In this world,
you have only one choice- Time or Money. If you have time constraint, save time
no matter how much money you spend. If you have a small budget, you may have to
take up some extra time-consuming things. Saving both is very hard, but give
priority to Time.
These were some ways in which you
can save time while Travelling. If you have more points to add, feel free to

appreciated by all, and helps you in developing a good personality.
