Is the ability to plan and control how you
spend the hours in your day effectively,
to accomplish your goals.
Good Time Management allows you to
accomplish more in a shorter period of
time, which leads to more free time,
which lets you take advantage of learning
opportunities, lowers your stress, and
helps you take focus, which leads more
career success.
 No matter how you slice it, there are only 24 hours in a
day. That applies to you, and to your coworker who
only seems able to do half the amount of work you do.
But it also applies to the former coworker who
consistently accomplishes more than you, and was
promoted as a result. If you want to rise through the
ranks, you have to acknowledge the importance of
finding a w ay to manage this limited resource.
Get a handle on why managing your time
effectively is important, and what you
stand to gain from it. You can get started
by reviewing these 7 Reasons Time
Management is Crucial:
 When you learn to take control of your
time, you improve your ability to focus.
And with increased focus comes
enhanced efficiency, because you don’t
lose momentum. You’ll start to breeze
through tasks more quickly
 Whether you rely on a time-chunking technique or discover
the power of list-making, you’ll soon find that a nice side
benefit of good time management skills is the ability to
make better decisions. When you feel pressed for time and
have to make a decision, you’re more likely to jump to
conclusions without fully considering every option. That
leads to poor decision making. Through effective time
management, you can eliminate the pressure that comes
from feeling like you don’t have enough time. You’ll start
to feel more calm and in control. When the time comes to
examine options and make a decision, instead of rushing
through the process, you can take time to carefully consider
each option. And when you’re able to do that, you diminish
your chances of making a bad decision.
 Time management is the key to success. It allows you
to take control of your life rather than following the
flow of others. As you accomplish more each day,
make more sound decisions, and feel more in control,
people notice. Leaders in your business will come to
you when they need to get things done. And that
increased exposure helps put you in line for
advancement opportunities.
 When you don’t have control of your time, it’s easy to end
up feeling rushed and overwhelmed. And when that
happens, it can be hard to figure out how long it’s going
to take to complete a task. (Think of a time when you were
about to miss a deadline and were frantically trying to
finish the project. If someone dumped a surprise on your
desk at that moment and asked you how long it would
take to finish the surprise task, how could you even begin
to answer their question?)Once you learn how to manage
your time, you no longer subject yourself to that level of
stress. Besides it being better for your health, you have a
clearer picture of the demands on your time. You’re better
able to estimate how long a given task will take you to
complete, and you know you can meet the deadline.
 Everyone needs time to relax and unwind.
Unfortunately, though, many of us don’t get enough of
it. Between jobs, family responsibilities, errands, and
upkeep on the house, most of us are hard-pressed to
find even 10 minutes to sit and do nothing. Having
good time management skills helps you find that time.
When you’re busy, you’re getting more done. You
accumulate extra time throughout your day that you can
use later to relax, unwind, and prepare for a good
night’s sleep.
 When you practice good time
management, you leave no room for
procrastination. The better you get at it,
the more self-discipline you learn. This is
a valuable skill that will begin to impact
other areas of your life where a lack of
discipline has kept you from achieving a
goal
We all have busy schedules in our lives,
and having good Time Management is
really important because it reduces our
workload, and we can have more time
with our family and love ones. Having
good time management can really benefit
us a lot like:
 Being organized results in less rework
and mistakes. Forgotten items, details,
and instructions lead to extra work. How
often do you have to do a task more than
once? Or make an extra trip because you
forget something?
 Of course, being productive is one of the
main goals of time management. When
you are aware of what you need to do,
you are able to better manage your
workload. You will be able to get more
(of the right tasks) done in less time.
 How often do you create your own
problem? Whether it is a forgotten
appointment or missed deadline, not
managing your time results in increased
life friction. Avoid creating your own
problems by planning and preparing for
your day.
 We can’t create more time, but you can
make better use of it by managing your
time. Even simple actions like shifting
your commute or getting your work done
early can produce more leisure time in
your life.
 When you know what you need to do,
you waste less time in idle activities.
Instead of wondering what you should be
doing next, you can already be a step
ahead of your work.
 Being on top of your time and work
produces more opportunities. The early
bird always has more options. As well,
luck favors the prepared.
 A common misconception is that time
management takes extra effort. To the
contrary, proper time management makes
your life easier. Things take less effort,
whether it is packing for that trip or
finishing up that project.
 Managing your time is allotting your time
where it has the most impact. Time
management allows you to spend your
time on the things that matter most to
you.
 Time management is all about spending your
time in the right places, and on the right
things.
 It’s about knowing your priorities, obligations,
and schedule.
 When you manage your time, you benefit in
all areas of life.
