Poor Time Management
The essence of time management is knowing what your values and goals are in life and making the optimum use of your time to achieve these ends.

When your new time management system is working effectively you should notice some of the following improvements:

• Increased energy, productivity and motivation
• Greater sense of control
• More decisive, proactive rather than reactive
• Not taking problems home
• Acting assertively
• Tackling procrastination and perfectionism
• Improved timekeeping

Above all, there should now be enough hours in the day to complete your most important activities. Thus effective time management does not mean that every second of your day is accounted for, but that much of your time is directed towards achieving your goals.

Like any other change, you will need to monitor your time management skills on a daily basis to prevent returning to poor use of your time. As the time management literature continually reminds us, time is a precious resource and each second, minute, hour that ticks by can never be replaced. Therefore, use it wisely.
