Time management is difficult for many people. That’s because you can’t really “manage” time. It is a unique resource. You can’t increase time, stop time, or store it for future use. — At some time in their lives, just about everyone has trouble keeping pace. For some people, time crunches are only an occasional problem. They may be due to a temporary work overload, untimely equipment failure, some short-lived personal situation, or a miscommunication about times and priorities.
