Time Management
skills are essential for all successful people. They have helped
leaders in all aspects of life reach the pinnacles of their careers by
making the most of each hour, day, week, month and year.
Time management is really self-management that requires both the skills
and the self-discipline to make these skills habitual to your everyday
life. The planning, delegating, prioritising and following up skills we
need to manage others are the same skills we need to manage ourselves.
Managing time also has a lot to do with being clear on your direction.
So clarity of purpose helps avoid allocating your valuable time to
tasks and projects that may have past their usefulness in serving your
objectives. In other words, being efficient does not guarantee you are
being effective!Factors that steal our time
