Lets talk a little about time shall we?

So...

Time management...

What does it mean to you?
What does it actually mean?

Quite simply, "Time Management" is the process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity. Wikipedia

"Time management" is the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between specific activities. Good time management enables you to work smarter – not harder – so that you get more done in less time, even when time is tight and pressures are high.

One of the greatest setback Africa has, is it's lack of value for time, this explains the common cliche "African time", which can be best interpreted as no value for time.

Failing to manage your time damages your effectiveness and causes you stress.
It seems that there is never enough time in the day.
But, since we all get the same 24 hours, why is it that some people achieve so much more with their time than others? The answer lies in good time management.

Good time management requires an important shift in focus from activities to results: being busy isn’t the same as being effective. (Ironically, the opposite is often closer to the truth.)

Spending your day in a frenzy of activity often achieves less, because you’re dividing your attention between so many different tasks.
Good time management lets you work smarter – not harder – so you get more done in less time.

We'll discuss a little further in another post, anticipate!
