Why Is Time Management Important?

Life in the twenty-first century is busy. No matter if you are a student, a businessman, a parent or a tradesman, time is a valuable commodity – one that needs to be managed and managed well. Everyone has deadlines to meet whether it’s as mundane as getting to the bus on time or as important as finishing an assignment by the due date. Time pressures are always upon us. Yet so many waste time with procrastination, “I’ll just have a cup of coffee before I start my work”, or will fill their life with great time wasters such as checking emails constantly throughout the day.

Too often it seems like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get through all that needs to be done. But is that really the case? Or is it that you aren’t using your time effectively. You can’t hold time in your hand and look at, but you do an awful lot of other things with time. Consider this for a moment, how many ways do you use the word time in your daily vocabulary? You keep time, you waste time, and you pass time. You also kill time, take time and buy time. There are many other references to time, yet how often do you really consider the minutes ticking by and if you are using them as effectively as possible? Managing time may not be something you feel you can act upon, yet it is probably the most constructive thing you can do with all that time on your hands!

Time management can be thought about in many different ways, indeed there are numerous techniques to effectively manage time. But keep this in mind, time passes no matter what. Realistically the only thing you can manage is how you use that time, how you self-manage yourself in a time constraint. Time management is all about increasing efficiency and being more productive.
