Effective time management helps us sort priorities, set our goals, and establish and carry out small, time-limited tasks.
Time management is important for the student juggling a job, schoolwork, and a social life.
It is also important in balancing a family life, academic life, and work. It is easy to become overwhelmed when we have multiple commitments and desires pulling at our limited amount of daily time. Effective time management helps us to become responsible not only to others, but also to ourselves. It provides a framework within which we can see the structure of our daily lives. It also helps us to understand which parts of our lives are in balance and which parts are out of balance.
