What is Time?
A dimension within which things change
The medium through which goals are accomplished
Time can not be managed, we can only manage ourselves
Those who do not take the time to do something right, must make the time to do it over
Time is a scarce/limited commodity
Time cannot be bought or exchanged or rented
Un-storable: Time cannot be saved or stored
It is impossible to increase or decrease time
Invariable: The passage of time is constant
Irrevocable: Time cannot be recalled
Universal: Time is equal for all people
Indivisible: Time is life
What is Time Management ? Time management is about
managing your day effectively so you can achieve all that you want to achieve.
Doing the Right job right (Effective) and not doing the job/thing right (Efficiency/Efficient)
The more hour people work, the more time they assume they have to finish.
