Time Management

Time management is the act of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity.

Time management may be aided by a range of skills, tools, and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects and goals complying with a due date.

Initially, time management referred to just business or work activities, but eventually the term broadened to include personal activities as well. A time management system is a designed combination of processes, tools, techniques, and methods.

This set encompasses a wide scope of activities, and these include:

• Planning
• Allocating
• Setting goals
• Delegation
• Analysis of time spent
• Monitoring
• Organizing
• Scheduling
