What do you say?

I have seen many postings on Time Management; they all talk about managing work/tasks within a specific time frame by prioritizing urgent or important tasks over others. So, is it all about managing time or managing tasks?

What do you say?

Dear Amit,

I would say that both time and work go together. If you want to finish a task, then you have to do it on time. Tasks with priority should be finished first; that is also time-based! In a nutshell, one has to manage time to manage work and vice versa.

Thanks Chaitali, Can you share some bulleted points how do we manage time? For example to manage work we have lots of methods like 80/20, urgent/important. Do you have any idea. Regards Amit

Hi Amit,

We really manage time to manage our work. This is the better way to understand this. Suppose you have one piece of work to do which may take an hour. If you manage your time and try to complete it in 45 minutes, it means you have managed your time and eventually your work. Now you have 15 minutes spare to manage some other work, and at last, you can sit back and relax :).

Dear Amit,

It is time that needs to be managed as it is limited. The work is abundant, and we need to prioritize it to manage by accommodating it within the available time. The best way to measure time management is to ensure all the tasks in our priority list are completed well before we leave the office, allowing us to go home satisfied.

However, it is easier said than done, but it is the key to success.

Less work + more time = makes no difference; you will complete it easily. More work + less time = makes a huge difference; it won't be easy to complete the task. So, it's time that you manage depending on the work. Work cannot be managed; it can only be scheduled based on time.

Understanding Time Management

The true fact is that neither can we manage time nor do we manage time. Time is an eternal thing which is constant; what is variable is our own activities. When we discuss time management or attempt to practice time management, we are actually trying to manage our own activities. Time management is nothing but being proactive, planning in advance, and working as per priority. Nobody in this world has ever managed time. God has given the same 24 hours per day to all of us; how we decide to spend it all depends on us.

In real, we manage both only. It is required to manage time for work.
