What is time management?

• Time management involves applying management principles to your own time.

How does time management work?

• Decide what goal you want to achieve and how much time you have to do so. So planning is very important here, as is self-knowledge.
• To allocate your time well, you want to know what your values are; what is your mission and what do you want to achieve? It may sound tough, but when you want to know if you are spending your time well, you need to know what your life goals are.
• Determine what your long-term goals are; from here you can determine the goals you want to achieve in the medium term. In fact, achieving these goals will ensure that you have the opportunity to achieve your life goals. The short-term goals you set last, the achievement of these goals should contribute to the goals you set for the longer term.
• Therefore, if this does not appear to be the case, you are not making efficient use of the time you have and so you can set other short-term goals.
• The final step in the process of planning is to determine which goals have a higher priority than the others.
• When you have found balance in your activities, you are more resistant to stress than if you have not been able to establish this balance.
