Most of us have, at one time or another, felt daunted and overwhelmed by the number of tasks and commitments that have been pushed in our direction. The key to tackling this situation is effective time management.

Understanding, identifying and defining your long-term goals is the very first step to effective time management. With the broader goal in the background, you can now set the short-term goals that will effectively lead you to achieve your cherished long-term goals in your life.

At the heart of time management is an important shift in focus: Concentrate on results, not on being busy. This is one of the most important time management skills. Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity but achieve very little because they are not concentrating on the right things.
