What is
Time Management?
• Time management refers to the development of
processes and tools that increase efficiency
and productivity (for a student, for a
business, for an organization)
• Time management doesn’t “just happen” for
anyone – it is a skill that must be worked on, and
that most people find to be a life-long challenge
