The Steps of Time Management

    Life is often what happens to you along the way when you have planned otherwise because there are time wasters out there to throw you off track. Your performance may not always match your intentions. To help you to increase your productivity each and every day.

Melody Hessing in “More than Clockwork” Sociological Perspectives examines how people organize their lives to accomplish their many tasks. Specifically Hessing found that people use the following time management strategies: Plan your day, Control procrastination, and Delegate it.
