What is time management

What is time management and why it is important? Everyone has a different answer. In my introduction, I tell you my answer and why I feel it is important. But that is not enough, if we really want to improve it, we should have a deeper understanding. In this blog, I will be review one of my peer’s blog and one professional blog to see how different people have different views.

What is time management
In my peer’s blog, she said: “time management is managing your given workload in a certain period of time efficiently” (Goldstein, 2018). In the other words, time management is the ability to handle all the work and to finish them on time. When we get a list of work and we have a limited amount of time. It gave us pressure and affected our ability. In this case, good time management skill will help you to finish most of the work.
In Pullein’s blog, time management is all about allocating the time to the right task and right place to achieve the right result (Pullein, 2018). In his words, time management is to spend the time to do the meaningful thing and we all understand what is meaningful even though different people have a different definition. However, we spend most of our life on the meaningless things, which means we didn’t manage our time properly.

Why is time management important?
We all agree time management is important. it may not be the most important soft skill but having a good time management skill is the leading path toward the success in the work place and the foundation of a successful life. Time is a limited resource and in order to get most out of it, we have to learn how to use this resource correctly. Either in the workplace or in life, we will have to make plans to fulfill our life or to handle our work.
