a

the possibilities of accomplishing your goals and feel more in
control.
Controlling your time and realistically structuring your schedule can
help you
become more effective and productive.
Time is
yours to spend:
Time is a resource given to you
unconditionally, what you do with it
makes the difference on how effective, creative and successful you are.
Recognizing the importance of time management will help you
use your time wisely and allow your goals drive your
activities.

Time management equilibrates
greatness at work with greatness in leisure. Our
lives become
healthier, with less stress and more joy and fulfillment.
Time Management is
a skill:
You can learn how to manage time. There are

and create new "good" ones,
discipline,
self-assessment, consistent planing and monitoring.
Time must be leveraged:
Time management is not
just about managing your day or your schedule effectively. You
must be
able to visualize and look at the big picture in order to strategize
and use
your time intellectually. A mentoring book from Harvard Business School
advices: "Leverage your time to manage it". Prioritize
and channel your energy and resources towards
goal-oriented tasks.
