Time Management Plan
According to Dahm, Glomb, Manchester, and Leroy (2015), define time management as the
ability to use one’s time effectively or

important for personal and professional development since it can have a significant impact on
individual as well as businesses.
It helps maintain focus especially with the continuing

continually set goals to maintain momentum as recommended by Barker (2014).
