TIME MANAGEMENT
Time management and procrastination go hand in hand. I make this statement because if you effectively use time management you will see how it can be used to eliminate procrastination. In this essay I will explain what time management is, also how to use it properly. I will also explain to definition of procrastination and how we use different methods of procrastination, then how these two topics correlates together.
Time management is based on the assumption that recording, managing, and consolidating time may help a person deal efficiently with his or her time (Drucker,1996).According the Drucker time management is broken down in two phases goal setting and goal striving. With goal setting
The difference between goal setting and goal striving. Goal setting is the process of making achievement whether it is long term or short term achievements. Goal striving would be taking the steps necessary to achieve the goal you set. For example if I have a goal to get an accounting degree, signing up for classes, studying , and passing the course you would need to receive the degree would be an example of goal setting and goal striving this all correlates into time management . Because without time management it would be impossible to set and accomplish goals. If you manage your time effectively accomplishing goals will be an easier task.
Procrastination can be a characteristic of avoidance behavior and can be seen as the avoidance of the execution of an intended action. The action is important to the individual but is anticipated as something unattractive causing an approach – avoidance conflict. Basically in other terms, it presents an intrapersonal conflict between what one should do and what one wants to do and losing it instead of solving it.(Bazerman, Tenbrunsel, and Wade Benzoni, 1998). In other terms we as a people will find anything else to focus on besides the goal at hand when we do not feel like doing something.
