Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)This article was very helpful. From my past work experience, I can say that "time management" often comes up for discussion on my performance evaluations because I am asked to do many tasks in limited time. Managers are always trying to find ways to manage the time I give them for maximum productivity and performance. Now my managers have to produce numbers and quantify the use of my time. If my "numbers" go down, they want to know what is going on.Time management can also help an individual with issues like burnout, boredom, underachievement, overachievement, and professional and personal development. A good manager will find out what makes the enployees motivated and help take them to the next level by managing their work life for maximum health and happiness.Some of these techniques can even be applied to behavior enrichment of animals. I work at the zoo and keepers are always looking for ways to "manage" the time of their animals for variety, health, husbandry, and sometimes interaction with the public through special programs like wild encounters.
