I think of time management as the ability to determine somewhat correctly the amount of time it will take to do something or get somewhere. It is hard to learn this if you don’t have an instinctual internal time clock but it can be learned. For example, I have seen those who have trouble with this usually do not include the time it takes to walk to your car, get in, park and walk to the building, wait for the elevator , find the right office. Etc. when I was a COBOL programmer, it took very little time to write the Code but then I had to run the job and wait until the next day to see if it worked. Maybe this has helped me see the bigger picture of those other things that have to happen around the task we are focused on. And often we don’t have control over them which makes it even harder to manage your time
