Time management is the process of planning how to allocate time effectively and efficiently to achieve specific goals. It involves identifying, prioritizing and completing tasks, so it helps to maximize productivity and minimize stress. Some strategies for effective time management include setting clear goals, planning, avoiding distractions, allocating time blocks, delegating tasks, and adjusting your plan. Project managers should set clear and realistic goals for their projects and prioritize tasks based on their importance.
