2.  Time management is straightforwardly defined as the
management of time in order to make the most out of it.
“in 2001 Study confirms that ..
You can't manage time, it just is. So "time management" is a
mislabeled problem, which has little chance of being an
effective approach. What you really manage is your activity
during time, and defining outcomes and physical actions
required is the core process required to manage what you
do”.
