<p><b>Time management</b> is the process of <a href="Planning" title="Planning">planning</a> and exercising <a href="Conscious" class="mw-redirect" title="Conscious">conscious</a> control of time spent on specific activities—especially to increase <a href="Effectiveness" title="Effectiveness">effectiveness</a>, <a href="Efficiency" title="Efficiency">efficiency</a> and <a href="Productivity" title="Productivity">productivity</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Time management involves demands relating to <a href="Employment" title="Employment">work</a>, <a href="Interpersonal_relationship" title="Interpersonal relationship">social life</a>, <a href="Family" title="Family">family</a>, <a href="Hobbies" class="mw-redirect" title="Hobbies">hobbies</a>, personal interests and commitments. Using time effectively gives people more choices in managing activities.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Time management may be aided by a range of skills, tools and techniques, especially when accomplishing specific tasks, projects and goals complying with a due date.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Initially, the term time management encompassed only business and work activities, but eventually the term comprised personal activities as well. A time management system is a designed combination of processes, tools, techniques and methods. Time management is usually a necessity in <a href="Project_management" title="Project management">managing projects</a>, as it determines the project completion time and scope.
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cultural_views">Cultural views</h2></div>
<p>Differences in the way a culture views time can affect the way their time is managed. For example, a linear time view is a way of conceiving time as flowing from one moment to the next in a linear fashion. This linear perception of time is predominant in America and most Northern European countries, such as Germany, Switzerland and England.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> People in these cultures tend to place a large value on productive time management and tend to avoid decisions or actions that would result in wasted time.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This linear view of time correlates to these cultures being more "monochronic", or preferring to do only one thing at a time. As a result, this focus on efficiency often leads to a culture of punctuality and a strong emphasis on meeting deadlines.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Another cultural time view is the multi-active time view. In multi-active cultures, most people feel that the more activities or tasks being done at once the better. This creates a sense of happiness.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Multi-active cultures are "polychronic" or prefer to do multiple tasks at once. This multi-active time view is prominent in most Southern European countries such as Spain, Portugal and Italy.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In these cultures, people often tend to spend time on things they deem to be more important such as placing a high importance on finishing social conversations.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In business environments, they often pay little attention to how long meetings last and instead focus on having high-quality meetings. In general, the cultural focus tends to be on synergy and creativity over efficiency.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>A final cultural time view is a cyclical time view. In cyclical cultures, time is considered neither linear nor event related. Because days, months, years, seasons, and events happen in regular repetitive occurrences, time is viewed as cyclical. In this view, time is not seen as wasted because it will always come back later, hence there is an unlimited amount of it.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This cyclical time view is prevalent throughout most countries in Asia, including Japan and China. It is more important in cultures with cyclical concepts of time to focus on completing tasks correctly, thus most people will spend more time thinking about decisions and the impact they will have, before acting on their plans.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most people in cyclical cultures tend to understand that other cultures have different perspectives of time and are cognizant of this when acting on a global stage.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Consequently, this awareness often leads to a greater emphasis on relationships and the quality of interactions over strict adherence to schedules.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Over time, the concept of time management has changed from simple tools like checklists to more complex techniques that emphasize setting priorities and coordinating tasks with objectives and values. The third generation of time management places a strong emphasis on setting objectives, organizing each day, and ranking tasks according to importance.
</p><p>A fourth generation has emerged, focusing on self-management rather than just managing time. It highlights the importance of managing expectations, relationships, and results, distinguishing between urgent and important tasks. Effective time management involves using personalized tools that cater to individual needs and planning in weekly terms to prioritize goals and adapt to unexpected events. Success in today's work environment depends on utilizing the right tools and strategies to achieve goals efficiently.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Neuropsychology">Neuropsychology</h2></div>
<p>Excessive and chronic inability to manage time effectively may result from <a href="Attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder" title="Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder">attention deficit hyperactivity disorder</a> (ADHD).<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Diagnostic criteria include a sense of underachievement, difficulty getting organized, trouble getting started, trouble managing many simultaneous projects, and trouble with follow-through.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Setting_priorities_and_goals">Setting priorities and goals</h2></div>
<p>These goals are recorded and may be broken down into a <a href="Project_management" title="Project management">project</a>, an <a href="Action_plan" title="Action plan">action plan</a> or a simple task list. For individual tasks or for goals, an importance rating may be established. Deadlines may be set and priorities assigned. This process results in a plan with a task list, schedule or calendar of activities. Authors may recommend daily, weekly, monthly or other planning periods, associated with different scope of planning or review. This is done in various ways, as follows:

<p>A task list (also called a to-do list or "things-to-do") is a list of <a href="Task_(project_management)" title="Task (project management)">tasks</a> to be completed such as chores or steps toward completing a project.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Task_list_organization">Task list organization</h3></div>
<p>Task lists are often diarized (notes written in a diary) and tiered (having rows of organized notes). The simplest tiered system includes a general to-do list (or task-holding file) to record all the tasks the person needs to accomplish and a daily to-do list which is created each day by transferring tasks from the general to-do list. An alternative is to create a "not-to-do list", to avoid unnecessary tasks.<sup id="cite_ref-Morgenstern_20-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Morgenstern-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Task lists are often prioritized in the following ways.
</p>
<ul><li>A daily list of things to do, numbered in the order of their importance and done in that order one at a time as daily time allows, is attributed to consultant <a href="Ivy_Lee" title="Ivy Lee">Ivy Lee</a> (1877–1934) as the most profitable advice received by <a href="Charles_M._Schwab" title="Charles M. Schwab">Charles M. Schwab</a> (1862–1939), president of the <a href="Bethlehem_Steel" title="Bethlehem Steel">Bethlehem Steel</a> Corporation.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li>An early advocate of "ABC" prioritization was <a href="Alan_Lakein" title="Alan Lakein">Alan Lakein</a>, in 1973. In his system "A" items were the most important ("A-1" the most important within that group), "B" next most important, "C" least important.<sup id="cite_ref-Lakein_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lakein-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li>A particular method of applying the <i>ABC method</i><sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> assigns "A" to tasks to be done within a <a href="Day" title="Day">day</a>, "B" a <a href="Week" title="Week">week</a>, and "C" a <a href="Month" title="Month">month</a>.</li>
<li>To prioritize a daily task list, one either records the tasks in the order of highest <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/priority" class="extiw external" title="wikt:priority">priority</a>, or assigns them a <a href="Number" title="Number">number</a> after they are listed ("1" for highest priority, "2" for second highest priority, etc.) which indicates in which order to execute the tasks. The latter method is generally faster, allowing the tasks to be recorded more quickly.<sup id="cite_ref-Morgenstern_20-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Morgenstern-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li>Another way of prioritizing compulsory tasks (group A) is to put the most unpleasant one first. When it is done, the rest of the list feels easier. Groups B and C can benefit from the same idea, but instead of doing the first task (which is the most unpleasant) right away, it gives motivation to do other tasks from the list to avoid the first one.</li></ul>
<p>Various writers have stressed potential difficulties with to-do lists such as the following.
</p>
<ul><li>Management of the list can take over from implementing it. This could be caused by <a href="Procrastination" title="Procrastination">procrastination</a> by prolonging the planning activity. This is akin to <a href="Analysis_paralysis" title="Analysis paralysis">analysis paralysis</a>. As with any activity, there's a point of diminishing returns.</li>
<li>To remain flexible, a task system must allow for disaster. A company must be ready for a disaster. Even if it is a small disaster, if no one made time for this situation, it can <a href="Metastasize" class="mw-redirect" title="Metastasize">metastasize</a>, potentially causing damage to the company.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li>To avoid getting stuck in a wasteful pattern, the task system should also include regular (monthly, semi-annual, and annual) planning and system-evaluation sessions, to weed out inefficiencies and ensure the user is headed in the direction he or she truly desires.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li>If some time is not regularly spent on achieving long-range goals, the individual may get stuck in a perpetual holding pattern on short-term plans, like staying at a particular job much longer than originally planned.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul>

<p>The <a href="Getting_Things_Done" title="Getting Things Done">Getting Things Done</a> method, created by <a href="David_Allen_(author)" title="David Allen (author)">David Allen</a>, is to finish small tasks immediately and for large tasks to be divided into smaller tasks to start completing now.<sup id="cite_ref-Guardian2005_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Guardian2005-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The thrust of GTD is to encourage the user to get their tasks and ideas out and on paper and organized as quickly as possible so they are easy to see and manage.

<p>Francesco Cirillo's "<a href="Pomodoro_Technique" title="Pomodoro Technique">Pomodoro Technique</a>" was originally conceived in the late 1980s and gradually refined until it was later defined in 1992. The technique is the namesake of a Pomodoro (Italian for tomato) shaped kitchen timer initially used by Cirillo during his time at university. The "Pomodoro" is described as the fundamental metric of time within the technique and is traditionally defined as being 30 minutes long, consisting of 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of break time. Cirillo also recommends a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes after every four Pomodoros. Through experimentation involving various workgroups and mentoring activities, Cirillo determined the "ideal Pomodoro" to be 20–35 minutes long.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The <a href="Franklin_Planner" title="Franklin Planner">Franklin Planner</a> is a paper-based time management system created by <a href="Hyrum_W._Smith" title="Hyrum W. Smith">Hyrum W. Smith</a> and named after <a href="Benjamin_Franklin" title="Benjamin Franklin">Benjamin Franklin</a>, which gained widespread popularity during the 1980s and 1990s. The methodology emphasizes connecting daily tasks to long-term goals and personal values, promoting the concept of "beginning with the end in mind" to ensure that daily activities align with larger life purposes. The system utilizes a ring-binder format planner containing specialized pages for daily planning, monthly and weekly calendars, goal-setting worksheets, and values clarification exercises. Its distinctive feature is the ABC priority system combined with numerical rankings (A1, A2, B1, etc.) for task prioritization, where A represents vital tasks, B important ones, and C nice-to-do items.
