In the 4th century AD, St. Augustine asked, “What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.” In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin replied, “Time is money”. Although there were many answers given regarding St. Augustine’s question and Benjamin Franklin’s answer, the equation that time is money seems best suited to the way we see time today. Time is a resource, and a unique one at that, as it cannot be replenished. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on effective time management to maximize time utilization.

Working as a corporate professional in any organization, you must have encountered various questions like-

How can you organize your work? How can you organize your agenda? Are you able to stick to your plan, or do you run after it? Or do you, from time to time, have the feeling that the work has caught up with you and that you are being guided by the red tail lights of priorities and obligations?  You are not the only one! Surprisingly enough, time management issues are most frequently found in those jobs that offer a high degree of freedom– jobs with a lot of internal and external contacts and very few routine activities.
