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.
