Time Management
Introduction
Time management is an essential daily practice that increases in value as people age since the more people grow; the more commitments develop, and require effective scheduling to accomplish the roles. Therefore, time management results in the achievement of success since one will plan and execute their duties based on a pre-established plan, which eventually results in meeting individual goals and objectives (Forsyth, 2016). Nonetheless, time management fails to apply to all based on the age of a person, as evident from children lacking knowledge on the value of time, while adults have limited time to accomplish their duties. Hence, time management applies to different situations and people differently based on what should be accomplished, several activities, the significance of planning and preparation, as well as anticipated success. For example, youth will be worried about finishing the course assignments, attending a lecture, and earning better grades while an adult will worry about balancing providing for the family, and development of career. Equally, time management occurs in short-term and long-term approaches, whereby short-term refers to the instantly planned and executed activities while long-term approach entails an extensive activity that takes longer duration. As a result, time management comes with one main controversy that is time is money implying if time is managed well, one accomplishes their activities and gets rewarded by becoming more achievements. Specifically, when one manages time adequately, the intended roles like career development lead to optimal career growth and increased earning potentials or an increase in profits in the case of business (Forsyth, 2016). However, the challenge towards the narrative that time is money is that everybody has time, unlike money; therefore, people using time inefficiently will fail in their activities the same way spending little money pointlessly leaves one poor. The controversy, overall, makes time management an essential process, such as capital management, in which benefits are experienced from better management, unlike poor management. Time management is significant in daily lives since it enables people to outline and accomplish their anticipated duties while expecting better outcomes.
Literature Review
Time management is a process of controlling and planning how must time one spends on particular activities, just like money. Good time management makes a person work smarter and not harder to get them to do more in less time, even when time is stretched, and the pressure is high, thus resulting in career or activity success (Bleich, 2018). Typically, the benefits of time management offer improvement in another life sphere, and it is essential to get such a cycle started at the earliest phase. Failure to manage time damages one’s effectiveness, results in stress, poor work quality, missed deadlines, and stalled career. Overall, time management presents challenges and benefits.
Time is money that illustrates that time is limited, and depending on how one slices it; there are 24 hours a day. It applies to a person and the peers who seem to accomplish more or less than the individual does. Therefore, to excel in life based on the regular and monotonous activities, one must acknowledge the importance of finding an adequate way to manage such limited resource.
Proper time management results in more time since extra time are created away from the busy daily schedule (Farrell, 2017). Effective time management leads to enjoying more time on personal pursuits and hobbies since a person accomplishes more activities with fewer efforts. Usually, learning to take control of time leads to an enhanced ability to focus. As a result, the increased focus results in efficiency since momentum are maintained. Also, effective management results in more opportunities in life. With management comes scheduling of tasks, and free time can be adjusted and used towards other activities. For instance, an employee can use the end of the day to run a part-time business instead of waiting for another workday. Equally, time management crates the ability to realize goals. At the beginning of any activity, goals are set, and it is through better time management that such activities are accomplished by remaining committed to the cause.
On the other hand, time management, just like money, would necessitate skills. Organizing the daily activities and completing them on time requires remaining proactive and creative in the tasks. Stronger time-management skills, thus, are essential for the everyday accomplishment of tasks. The organization is a key skill since it helps one maintain a clear picture of what, how, and when to complete activities. Typically, the organization means maintaining a calendar, ability to locate resources for a task easily, and following up on the tasks (Corbett et al., 2017). Equally, prioritization is an important skill since the activities need an order of achievement. Many ways are used in prioritizing tasks such as activities that are more engaging, longer ones, or single items. Also, one can start with most time-sensitive, less sensitive, or both. Equally, planning is an essential skill since it is a fundamental part of the management based on efficiency in activities. Specifically, the outline of roles and how to accomplish them is vital in sticking to the schedule.
On the other hand, poor time management, similar to poor capital management presents challenges. It results in poor workflow and quality since the inability to plan forward as well as sticking to the objectives, implies incompetence. Usually, when one has several vital activities to accomplish, it is only proper if the tasks are completed in the pre-established sequence. Failing to plan and organize leads to jumping back and forth or backtracking in doing activities and reduces efficiency hence lowering productivity (Forsyth, 2016). Also, poor time management leads to missed deadlines due to time-wasting. For instance, a student doing an assignment and engaging in social media conversation wastes time. In such a case, one will lose control since no specific task is prioritized, and there is more distraction. Failing to know what is next contributes to higher anxiety and stress levels. Also, ineffective time management can result in poor status. When tasks are not completed promptly, the perceptions and exceptions are severely affected. Therefore, one cannot continue to rely on themselves due to incapability and lower their traits, such as commitment.
Looking through time management perspectives, it is evident that time management has different effects. Efficient time management enables one to achieve more in a shorter period, eventually resulting in free time, lowering stress, helping in focus, getting more opportunities, and becoming successful. Poor time management leads to poor workflow, time-wasting, and higher stress levels. Therefore, it is essential to learn about organizing individual time more effectively. The same way, poor or better management of money yields different results. It is necessary to have an established time management perspective each day to assist in overall long-term and short-term success.

Introduction
Time management remains a crucial component among people since its value increases as people age, since aging brings more commitments that require adequate scheduling to accomplish demanding tasks in daily life. Therefore, time management positive outcome results from achieving success since one plan and executes their duties based on a pre-established plan, which eventually results in accomplishing individual goals and objectives (Forsyth, 2016). Nonetheless, the challenge with time management is the relevance to people based on the age of a person, as evident from children lacking knowledge on the value of time, while adults recognize the significance of time in accomplishing their duties. Comprehensively, time management applies to situations and people differently depending on what should or must be accomplished such as activities, the use of planning and preparation, as well as expected success. For example, youths will be apprehensive of finishing course assignments, attending a lecture, and earning better grades while adults will be troubled about complementing the needs of their families alongside the development of careers. It makes time management as an aspect that applies to short-term and long-term practices, whereby short-term refers to the instantly planned and accomplished activities while long-term entails a widespread activity that requires longer duration. On the other hand, time management has resulted in the coining of controversy such as time is money, implying if time is managed soundly, one accomplishes their activities and gets rewarded by more achievements. Therefore, time management becomes beneficial when it is managed adequately, through sticking to and accomplishing the established business goals that were aimed at increasing business efficiency in the case of organizational time management (Forsyth, 2016). Nonetheless, time is money controversy has a limitation such as bias towards a similar business since poor management will leave the organization at a more vulnerable position such as bankruptcy, for managing money (time) inefficiently. Therefore, the controversy makes time management an essential process, such as capital management, in which the profitability of business results from improved management, unlike poor management. Time management remains an important element in daily practices by helping in accomplishing tasks while it rewards achievers and punishes losers.
Literature Review
According to Bleich (2018), time management is a practice of controlling and planning how much time is spent on an activity. The narrative illustrates that time is money since control and planning are used when spending money. The benefit of good time management results in making people work smarter and not harder since people do more in less time. For instance, when time is stretched and there is higher pressure, success becomes certain (Bleich, 2018). Usually, the benefits of time management offer progress in any life practice, making it fundamental to get the time management cycle started at the earliest stage. Any failure to manage time at the earliest possible stage results in stress, poor work quality, missed deadlines and stalled outcomes.
The controversy “time is money” can be understood from various perspectives. According to Farrell (2018), everybody has an equal time (24 hours a day), and outcomes such as success and failure depend on how once chooses to spend the time. Time management, hence, applies to capital management in which people having (for example, $1 million) will lead different lifestyles based on how they choose to spend the money is specific duration.
Proper time management creates more time due to a higher accountability level leading to the allocation of spare time away from the demanding daily schedule (Farrell, 2017). Besides, by learning to take control of time, a person’s ability to focus improves. Eventually, the enhanced focus results in task competence since momentum is maintained all through processes. Besides, Forsyth (2016) illustrates that an essential benefit of effective time management is more life opportunities. Specifically, time management involves scheduling of tasks and free time can be fixed or created, intended towards use in other activities. For instance, instead of going home to wait for the next day as an employee, a person can use the remaining hours of the day to pursue a part-time rewarding activity. Similarly, time management creates the ability to realize goals. Goals are set at the beginning of any activity, but it only through efficient time management that goals are achieved by committing to each task as outlined.
On the other hand, time management, just like money, would necessitate management skills. Creativity and practical skills are essential in the organizing and accomplishment of daily tasks. Organization skill is an essential time management ability that helps one maintain a clear picture of what, how, and when to complete activities. Organization element means maintaining a schedule, ability to establish resources for a task easily, and following up on the tasks (Corbett et al., 2017). Another essential skill is prioritization, which is crucial since the activities need an order of attainment. There are many ways to prioritize tasks such as activities listing them based on the most or less engaging, longer or shorter, and multiple or single tasks. Also, one needs planning skill, since it is a fundamental part of time management that results in efficiency in activities. Planning allows for outlining roles and how to achieve them while complying with the schedule.
However, poor time management, similar to poor capital management presents challenges. It results in poor workflow and quality since there is the incapability to plan forward and stick to the task objectives, an indication of incompetence. When there are important tasks to be accomplished, completing them as established in a to-do list is crucial. Failure to utilize planning and organizing results in backtracking of activities, hence efficiency is lowered and the productivity becomes poor (Forsyth, 2016). Also, ineffective time management leads to missed deadlines due to time-wasting. A relevant example is a student doing an assignment but still engages in a social media conversation. It becomes a waste of time and the learner spends more time on the assignment due to distraction. Besides, poor time management will result in uncertainty and contribute to higher stress and anxiety levels. Failing to accomplish tasks punctually severely shapes emotions and expectations. Hence, a person experiences lowered interests such as commitment and fail to rely on individual-self.
Looking through time management perspectives, time management has both benefits and challenges depending on circumstances. Efficient time management enables one to achieve more in a shorter period, eventually resulting in free time, lowered stress, improved focus, more opportunities, and success. Poor time management leads to poor workflow, time-wasting, and higher stress levels. The authors succeed in illustrating that time management remains an important element in daily practices by helping in accomplishing tasks while it rewards achievers and punishes losers. It is a reflection of poor or better management of money that yields different results. Success for long-term or short-term activities requires suitable time management to assist in achieving tasks and objectives according to schedule.

Body Paragraphs
Time has usefulness, value, and meaning in the life of any individual since no one can escape time. Time, therefore, plays a significant role in people’s lives since it determines the activities of an individual from morning to evening (Robinson, 2019). The value of time, which emanates from time management, is the great result that a person receives when activities are performed on time. For example, a student who finishes studying the course materials on time will succeed in the test, unlike a learner who has not covered any course unit (Won & Shirley, 2018). Also, a real-life success that illustrates the value of time is evident from the continuous scheduling of activities during the day from waking up, going to the workplace, attending meetings, working with colleagues, to accomplishing daily workplace tasks. The value of time is equally evident from working harder today with the anticipation of a better future. Therefore, time is a major component of improved decision-making ability.
Time results in improved decision-making ability due to the power of scheduling or list-making that focuses on time management. Particularly, the pressure for the time when making decisions results in a person jumping into conclusions without comprehensively considering available options (Robinson, 2019). With effective time management, a schedule is created to eliminate the pressure of meeting deadlines and poor decision making that usually results from a feeling of lacking adequate time. For instance, when working on a project like constructing a poultry shade, the shade is erected first before purchasing poultry and no the other way. Besides, when constructing the shade, the initial steps would be designing the structure, acquiring the construction materials, laying a foundation, putting the structure, and roofing. It follows a chronological order that can never be reversed since there will be no better outcome. Compliance within schedule diminishes chances of poor decision making which enhances the success of activities.
Effective use of time due to proper management enhances the level of success for tasks since there is higher accountability. Success and failure are dependent on the time assigned for a specific activity since limited time reduces efficiency while ample time increases competence. Ample time means that a task undergoes the right processes that ensure each milestone is completed adequately without forgetting important tasks elements (Won & Shirley, 2018). For example, a common task such as cooking will result in a sweet and well-cooked food if a recipe is applied sufficiently. Also, when two people are given a specific dish to prepare, the results are always different, meaning one person did not use ingredients at the appropriate time. Correct timing and applying the right ingredients have won restaurant consumers since their dishes are unmatched. Nonetheless, to achieve success from time, a person should know how to manage time.
Time management is based on knowing where one spends time, by analyzing where most of the time is devoted. Spending most time in a useful activity is beneficial unlike spending a similar amount of time in a wasteful task. Managing time, therefore, begins by setting priorities, planning, organizing and scheduling while avoiding procrastination, avoiding multi-tasking and managing time wasters (Robinson, 2019). For example, a person may choose to spend time working to build a company for a long time and become the CEO. Also, a person may choose to spend time gambling in casinos and lose or win, without a guaranteed future. Hence, depending on where one chooses to spend time, the management (bad or good) defines outcomes like success or failure.
