Time management refers to the strategic planning and control of how one spends their time to effectively accomplish goals and tasks. It involves prioritizing activities, setting goals, and allocating time efficiently to ensure maximum productivity and reduce stress. Effective time management allows individuals to complete more in less time, lowers stress levels, and increases opportunities for advancement and personal satisfaction.
For example, a project manager might use time management techniques to create a detailed schedule for a complex project. By breaking down the project into manageable tasks, setting deadlines, and regularly reviewing progress, the manager ensures that each phase of the project is completed on time, leading to successful project completion and satisfied stakeholders.
