How time management relates to productivity


If you are managing your time better, in most instances, you will also be more productive. Researchers have discovered that working every moment is not the secret to being more productive. That's where time management comes in. If you're on a deadline, or even if you've passed the deadline, it may be tempting to work around the clock thinking that that will lead to greater productivity. You might think that you'll even be able to catch up, as much as possible, and get that project in sooner rather than later.

Alas, working around the clock is usually a sign that someone is not managing his or her time well. Time management—the kind of time management that does lead to greater productivity—means taking breaks at regular intervals and getting enough sleep. It means interacting with your family and friends, as well as making the time for recreation and leisure time activities—measures of what we like to call a life that has a work-life balance.
