Time management involves more than simply being busy.
Once an understanding of time uses has been developed, strategies of improving self time management can be established. For example, the principal demands an important report by 10 am tomorrow. A student has a seizure in the hall and must receive immediate medical care. Most of the really important things in life are not urgent. These important tasks can be done either today or at a later date.
