Time Management

What is Time Management? It is understanding exactly how much time we have and how to use it effectively.

Then what is the purpose of good time management? Good time management is a useful personal skill for managing oneself, one's work and the work of others.

Time is an “ineffable resource” which is finite. Time control is a paradox as you can MANAGE only yourself in relation to time.

Core Principle of Time Management Concentrate on results and NOT on being busy

Your goals and priorities are the foundation of professional fulfillment.

Plan for the future because that’s where you’re going to spend the rest of your life. Mark Twain

Personal Goal Setting - “Planning to Live Your Life Your Way” Goal setting is an important method of: Deciding what is important for you to achieve in your work. Separating what is important from what is irrelevant. Motivating yourself to achievement. Increasing your productivity based on measured achievement of goals.

Types of Goals Rational goals (specific short term) Directional goals (general goals for long term) Muddling thru (best option when the environment is in flux)
