What is time management? Defined simply, time management is how you prioritize tasks and juggle multiple demands. It is measured by how effectively you plan your day to get the most done. Good time management lets you work smarter, so you get more done in less time. Failing to properly manage your time can drastically impact your team, company and overall performance.

In order to properly plan your day, it’s important to know which tasks require the most and least time. This assessment also allows you to identify where you may be wasting valuable time.
Specific objectives help guide you through your day, week or even month. These objectives should include setting deadlines to boost motivation.
A list helps you plan your day, see what needs to get done and keep track of tasks. So much so, Sir Richard Branson credits his success to "to-do" lists.
Sort your "to-do" list from high to low priorities.
Knowing what to focus on first and identifying important tasks ensures your efforts are not being wasted in the wrong areas.
It’s important to remove or at least minimize distractions. Otherwise, your entire day could be taken up replying to emails, answering phone calls or chatting with co-workers. Try using set periods to check emails and avoid social media.
Multitasking is simply ineffective. By switching between tasks, you ultimately take longer to complete each individual item. Instead, focus on a single task and group similar tasks when working through your "to-do" list.
Teamwork is key to efficient time management. Try asking co-workers for help manage tasks that aren’t your top priority but still need to be completed.
This approach will save time and give them the opportunity for growth.
Overworking is detrimental to your health and the business. Make sure to take regular breaks, get some fresh air and step away from your desk. Remember: high-quality work does not equate to high-quantity.
