8. What are the effective ways to manage time?
The first thing that can be done is jotting down the to-do things every day and
then prioritising them and then doing them one by one. Long term goals also
need to be planned in the same way.

How do you think you can know about it 
●
History has never been my favourite subject 
●
But there are some periods of history, which have always fascinated me, and I would like to
know more about them
●
One such period is the Indus Valley period
●
I recently saw the movie MohenjoDaro, which tells about the way people, lived during those 
days. 
●
First time I learnt about the period from my history book at school. My school also organized 
a trip to National Museum, New Delhi where there are many seals and pots from that period. 
●
I also saw the plans of the Indus Valley Architecture. 
●
Indus Valley people were very ahead of their times. They lived in cities with walls, in a time
period which dates back to 2600-1900 BC. 
●
Many buildings like baths, bead factories , granaries have been excavated at their ruins.
●
An interesting thing about the Indus valley people was they lived in burnt brick houses like
today.
●
The streets met each other at right angles. There were drains, which could be cleaned.
●
Also there were no places of worship, people worshipped nature elements like air, water. 
●
There are still many mysteries about this period that still need to be resolved. 
●
There script has not been deciphered as of yet.
●
There is a mystery regarding the decline of the civilization. 
●
Some scholars say that there was a massive earthquake. 
●
Others say that outsiders attacked them. 
●
Still others say that they died because they has prolonged droughts and famine because of
deforestation.
●
Sometimes I dream of going back to the past and uncovering all these hidden mysteries.
●
So this is the period of history I would like to know more about.
