Time management is the ultimate example of maximisation of a limiting factor (much more on limiting factors in later blogs). We all have the same 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 365 or 366 days in a year. No matter how rich, powerful or organised you are those are facts and you can’t change them. The problem with most time management systems is that they are based on productivity or efficiency. In other words, how do we do more with the time available and how do we take less time to do each task? What we should be interested in is how to make time management more effective.
