Time management is the process of planning and exercising control over the amount of time spent on specific activities. It involves skills and techniques to manage time efficiently when accomplishing tasks, projects, and goals. Good time management is important for several reasons. It allows people to accomplish more with less effort, make better decisions, be more successful, learn more, reduce stress, and create discipline. There are also cumulative benefits - implementing time management allows one to accomplish more in less time, creating free time, lower stress, better attention and work quality, and increased success. Each benefit improves other aspects of life in an ongoing cycle.
