Time Management: © 2007 MMMTS All Rights Reserved

Good Time Management is a useful personal skill for managing oneself, one's work and the work of others. Time is an "ineffable resource" which is finite. Time control is a paradox as you can MANAGE only yourself in relation to time. Goal setting is an important method of: Deciding what is important for you to achieve in your work. Separating what is important from what is irrelevant. Motivating yourself to achievement. Increasing your productivity based on measured achievement of goals.
