Investing time
Life management
Using time wisely
Personal management
Priority management
Nine tenths of wisdom
Management of ourselves
Planning plus willpower
Maximizing the time we have
Wise management of ourselves
Elimination of nonpriorities
Determining never to be idle
Using time as a tool, not a couch
The best utilization of our efforts
Not serving time, making time serve us
The ability to use our time effectively
Choose how to spend our 168 weekly hours
Governing the clock, not being governed by it
A misnomer - the challenge is to manage ourselves
Being master of our hours and days, not their servant
Never doing today what we can’t put off till tomorrow
Planning the amount of time we spend on which activities
Knowing what’s most important and then giving it all we’ve got
Focusing on what we do best, on what brings us the most satisfaction
Taking care of the minutes for the hours will take care of themselves
A set of skills and tools to help us more efficiently control the events of our lives
The coordination of tasks and activities to maximize the effectiveness of our efforts
The process of organizing and planning how to divide our time between different activities
Reviewing our priorities and asking the question: what’s the best use of my time right now?
A necessity in any project management as it determines the project completion time and scope
An oxymoron - time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives
Behaviors that aim at achieving an effective use of time while performing certain goal-directed activities
Never being in too much of a hurry to stop and sip life, but never losing our sense of the enormous value of a minute
The balancing of various demands upon us relating to work, social life, family, hobbies, personal interests, and commitments with the finite nature of time
The process of planning and exercising conscious control of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity
Knowing what we want to get done, in what order of importance, over what period of time, as well as what time is available and what the best strategy is for the application of time to projects for the most effective results
