Do you have a moment to spare? Perhaps a moment is all that you have to spare!

There are two kinds of tasks that you engage in – things that you have to do and things that you want to do. As a responsible individual, you would like to complete things that you have to do before you start on things that you want to do. However, if all your time is stuck in things that you have to do, where will you find time for the things that you want to do?

If you only do the things that you have to, you merely exist. Only when you do things that you want to do you really live. What can you do about it?

One solution, championed by David Allen, is the “Four D” approach to reducing the tasks on your list:

Delete the unnecessary tasks;
Delegate what can be done by others;
Defer the less urgent tasks;
Do the rest.

Here is my solution: If you can complete your “have-to” tasks in less time than expected, you can use the time you save on things that you want to do. In other words, estimate how much time you need for any task, complete the task quickly, and use the time you save on something dear to your heart.

Public administration is the governance of public entities and it is carried out at various levels such as federal, state and local. The chief concern of administration is organization of government policies and programs in such a way that work activities in public offices are handled in the right manner for the benefits of the governing bodies as well as society as a whole. Those who contributed to the field of public administration came from diverse fields, such as sociology, political science, law, management and even economics, so it is very wide and vast field to cover.

It also looks into conduct of government officials and lays down rules and guidelines according to which they must perform their activities. Examples of administrators are city managers, cabinet secretaries, census analysts and police officers amongst others. They have a huge set of duties that they have to perform and in the process of doing this they make use of a theoretical framework and practical implementation platform. It is not unusual for them to make use of decision-making models to carry out their administrative activities.

There are many sub-fields in public administration and human resource management, public budgeting, policy analysis are some of the important ones. The aim is to improve areas such as security, efficiency, justice and equality.

Those who seek to understand public administration should look into the various budgets that have been laid down by various government entities. Finding and reading budget and accounting statements is one off the best ways to find out more about activities. Another way to learn more is to look into proposed changes in public sector entities and investment made using government funds. Information on public administration activities come from sources such as audit reports, nonprofit watchdog groups and press reports.

For many people not in the business of immigration law practice, the New York Immigrant Representation report, which was published in the Cardozo Law Review, is an eye-opener into the world of deportation proceedings. Some of the issues the report addresses are the impact of the transfer of detained immigrants to far off jurisdictions on the immigrants’ ability to hire immigration counsel, inadequate legal representation, high bond amounts, and a high number of self-represented non-citizens.

The number of foreign nationals representing themselves in immigration courts is appalling. (Unlike in criminal proceedings, non-citizens are not entitled to an appointed attorney in deportation proceedings.) According to the report, in New York City, 60 percent of detained immigrants and 27 percent of non-detained immigrants do not have the benefit of an immigration attorney’s expertise during the removal process.

The study only looks at removal, or deportation, cases that come before immigration judges. It does not address the number of individuals who seek immigration benefits from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services or Consular Offices abroad where an unsuccessful outcome can damage the person’s life as seriously as a removal from the country. Is inability to unite with one’s spouse in the United States less hurtful than separation with one’s spouse as a result of a deportation order? Nevertheless, more and more applicants handle immigration petitions on their own. The above study finds that, between 2000 and 2010, the number of unrepresented individuals has doubled.

Some foreign nationals dive into the maze of immigration law and procedure by themselves because they cannot afford hiring immigration lawyers; others chose to represent themselves because they believe they can handle it. The deceitfully simple immigration forms lure many pro se applicants into trouble. Some mistakes, including those involving strategy and presentation of evidence, may not be corrected.

We all know about the benefits of hiring professionals to deal with our problems, be it an electrician to repair a shorted wire, a medical doctor to treat a health issue, or an attorney to resolve a legal trouble. The New York study confirms the value of professional services: immigrants who were placed in deportation and who hired an immigration lawyer had successful outcome in 67 percent of cases; those who represented themselves were successful in only eight percent of cases. This data shows the importance of informing non-citizen applicants about the benefits of employing licensed professionals to assist them with immigration petitions.
