This document discusses time management personality styles and their characteristics. It identifies five main time management styles: achievement management, casual management, crisis management, precision management, and social management. Each style is described in terms of their tendencies, strengths, weaknesses, and best time management tools. The styles range from those who take on many tasks and measure success by work (achievement), to procrastinators who are easily distracted (casual), to those who prioritize each new task (crisis), to perfectionists who focus on unimportant details (precision), to those who prefer talking over tasks (social). Understanding one's natural time management style can help in selecting effective time management tools.
