Although it is a crucial factor for success, time itself cannot be managed. What can be managed is how to use it, that is to say, how to manage oneself and the work or activities to be performed.

The first step for efficient management of the non-renewable resource called “time” is gaining greater awareness of the following factors:
– How to manage the “time” component of one’s activities
– How much time you waste as an individual and how much time is ‘wasted’ because of external factors
– Where “time thieves” hide
– Critical success factors
– The cost of inappropriate or inefficient management

The second step is about identifying areas for action to improve time management and create a concrete action plan to eliminate waste.

The third step is implementing the action plan. The fourth and final step is about monitoring the results and improving the action plan if the results are not satisfactory or the circumstances/contexts have changed.
