Time management does not refer to tracking what you do every single minute of the day. It refers to making sure that you have enough time to accomplish everything you set out to do. Quite often, you will find that the reasons there are not enough hours in a day is that you try to do too many things at once. When you try to fit too many things into a schedule, you won't accomplish any of them well because you will be in a race against the clock to at least touch on all of them.

Prioritize what it is that you have to do each day. This will give you an idea of what you need to focus on most so that you can manage your time in the best possible way. You can give yourself a time limit for accomplishing each task, but you have to remember that some things will be easier than you anticipated and that others will take much longer. Spending too much time on one thing is also stressful and often a new set of eyes can find a solution to the problem that you cannot imagine. Don't be afraid to ask for help. It is not a sign of weakness and is a good method of making the best of time management.

Along with getting through the multitude of tasks you have to accomplish during the day, you also have to allow for interruptions. Try to find out where you are wasting time and decrease that time. This way you will have more time left at the end of the day, either for yourself of to attend to something new. Putting off things that need to be done is a way of having time creep up on you. If you have something that needs to be done by a specific deadline, it will easier to manage your time by working on it a little but at a time. If you allow the deadline to approach, you will find yourself working in overdrive to get everything finished at the last minute.
