They spend more time in goal achieving that some other people do in tension-relieving. And here lies the key to effective time-management in the twenty first century.

In decades past the job of work was clearer, more structured, more obvious and required less creative initiative. It was reasonably clear to see when work was complete or still remained unfinished. The working place tended to be more rigid, formal, and by nature a more accountable environment.

Today projects have wider boundaries and employers demand more initiative, creativity and commitment, not to mention an understanding and appreciation of the bigger picture. This has resulted in ever-increasing demands on personnel, and with the development of the Internet has arrived a never-ending stream of emails, attachments, voice mails and mountains of information, even (although this is not what they told us there would be) greater paperwork, memos, report writing and management accounting. All this, and the day-to-day responsibilities for effectively managing people and profit. In addition, the less formal nature of working environments requires individuals to be more self-motivated AND self-disciplined.

Your ability to manage your time and your actions more effectively are as important as the core skills that you possess to effectively perform your role and rise in the ranks of your organization. Effective self-management also brings with it the benefits of increased personal satisfaction, whilst creating less stress.
