Time management refers to a range of skills, tools, & techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific task, projects & goals. These sets encompass a wide scope of activities, & these include planning, allocating, setting goals, delegation, analysis of time spent, monitoring, organizing, scheduling, & prioritizing.
