Today’s busy world has become ever more complicated concerning the activities that modern man does. A typical working person, whether as an employee or executive of a corporate or business organization faces so many challenges every day of the week.

Even at home, work demands have made schedules quite complicated due to the time pressures imposed on almost every member of the family–from the student who does to school to the mom who does the household chores to the dad who has to attend to office work schedules.

According to MindTools, it seems 24 hours is not enough to complete all the activities and meet the challenges of the day, yet there are those who can achieve so much in the same time than others. The key lies in proper time management.

Simply defined, time management is the way a person plans and organizes the time how long one should spend in each specific activity. The purpose of time planning is to lessen stress and eliminate unnecessary operations in-between. Second is actively organizing to identify which among the events of the day should be given priority, and how much time should be spent in each of the prioritized activities.

Ultimately, time management could lead to higher productivity and efficiency by working smarter, not necessarily harder.
