Technique Overview
Time Management Definition
Time management is the process of organising, planning and controlling time to get more and better work done in less time. It is defined as “behaviours that aim at achieving an effective use of time while performing certain goal-directed activities (Claessens, 2007)” and “practices intended to maximise intellectual productivity (Britton and Tesser, 1991).” Time management can be viewed as a way of monitoring and controlling time (Eilam and Aharon, 2003). Marquis and Huston (2009), on the other hand, argue that time cannot be managed at all; individuals can manage events in relation to time.
