What is time management?

Time management is the process of planning and exercising conscious control of


time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency,
and productivity. It means managing time according to our lifestyle.
Methods of Time Management

 ABC analysis
 Pareto analysis
 The Eisenhower Method
 POSEC method
ABC analysis

A technique that has been used in business management for a long time is the
categorization of large data into groups. These groups are often marked A, B, and
C —hence the name. Activities are ranked by these general criteria:
 A – highest priority task
 B – medium priority task
 C – low priority task
Pareto analysis

Pareto analysis is a formal technique useful where many possible courses of


action are competing for attention.
The Pareto principle is the idea that 80% of consequences come from 20% of
causes. Applied to productivity, it means that 80% of results can be achieved by
doing 20% of tasks. If productivity is the aim of time management, then these
tasks should be prioritized higher
The Eisenhower Method

The "Eisenhower Method" or "Eisenhower Principle" is a method that utilizes the


principles of importance and urgency to organize priorities and workload.
Tasks in the quadrants are then handled as follows.
 Important/Urgent quadrant tasks are done immediately and personally
 Important/Not Urgent quadrant tasks get an end date and are done personally
 Unimportant/Urgent quadrant tasks are delegated
 Unimportant/Not Urgent quadrant tasks are dropped.
POSEC method

POSEC is an acronym for "Prioritize by Organizing, Streamlining, Economizing and


Contributing“
 Prioritize your time and define your life by goals.
 Organize things you have to accomplish regularly to be successful (family and
finances).
 Streamline things you may not like to do, but must do (work and chores).
 Economize things you should do or may even like to do, but they're not pressingly
urgent (pastimes and socializing).
 Contribute by paying attention to the few remaining things that make a difference
(social obligations).
