done in less time, even when time is tight and pressures are high.

16. Pareto Principle
Twenty percent of your time will produce 80% of your productive
output. Can you afford not to manage at-least that 20% ?
19. Less Stress
Managing your time can directly reduce your stress level. Fewer surprises.
Fewer tight deadlines. Less rushing from task-to-task and place-to-place.
20. Get More Done
Being productive is one of the main goals of time management. When you are aware of what
you need to do, you are able to better manage your workload. You will be able to get more (of
the right tasks) done in less time.
21. Less Life Friction and Problems
How often do you create your own problems? Whether it is a forgotten
appointment or missed deadline, not managing your time results in increased life
friction. Avoid creating your own problems by planning and preparing for your
day.
22. More Free Time
We can’t create more time, but you can make better use of it by managing your time. Even
simple actions like shifting your commute or getting your work done early can produce more
leisure time in your life.
23. Less Rework
Being organized results in less rework and mistakes. Forgotten items, details,
and instructions lead to extra work. How often do you have to do a task more
than once? Or make an extra trip because you forget something?
24. Less Wasted Time
When you know what you need to do, you waste less time in idle activities.
Instead of wondering what you should be doing next, you can already be a step
ahead of your work.
25. More Opportunities
Being on top of your time and work produces more opportunities. The early bird
always has more options.
26. Improves Your Reputation
At work and in life you will be known as reliable. No one is going to question
whether you are going to show up, do what you say you are going to do, or meet
that deadline.
27. Less Effort
A common misconception is that time management takes extra effort. To the
contrary, proper time management makes your life easier. Things take less effort,
whether it is packing for that trip or finishing up that project.
28. More Time Where it Matters
Managing your time is allotting your time where it has the most impact. Time
management allows you to spend your time on the things that matter most to you.
