Time management is about leading one’s own actions. It is not just about efficiency, but about using time for meaningful things one wants to invest in.

Time management is a skill that can be learned. Everyone has the same number of hours in a day, but time management is individual and can be developed to ensure there is time for rest and unhurried relaxation in everyday life.

Reviewing how time is used helps identify time thieves. Keeping track of how time is spent during a week and analyzing it helps to understand where time actually goes and how much of it is within one’s control.

Compassion towards oneself and trying out methods that suit one’s own needs are key. The goal should not be perfection, but finding the time management strategies that work best for oneself, such as prioritization and time planning.
