Let’s talk about time management for managers:

Imagine you’re the captain of a ship, sailing across a wide, blue ocean. Your ship is your team, and the vast sea represents the time you have every day.

As the captain, your job is to guide your ship safely to the treasure island, which is your goal for the day.

This story is a lot like the job of a manager, who has to lead their team to achieve their goals by managing time wisely.

What is Time Management?

Time management is like playing a video game where you have to complete tasks before time runs out.

But in real life, the game doesn’t end at bedtime; it starts again the next day.

Good time management helps you do your work without feeling rushed or stressed. It’s about planning your day so you can play, rest, and work without missing out on fun.

Why Is Time Management Important for Managers?

Managers have a special job. They need to make sure their team is happy, the work is done well, and everything is on time.
