Managing time is crucial as it helps individuals to respect their own time and use it effectively. Time is a valuable commodity that cannot be regained once lost, and hence it should be respected and utilised in the best possible way. Proper time management can promote a happy life by reducing stress, increasing productivity, and enabling people to be available for things that really matter - family, friends, business, travel or that side hustle. Effective time management can also lead to a successful life by helping people create more time to do more important work to achieve results. Managing time is a decision. It doesn’t just happen. I wasted so many years enjoying myself and having fun. What a waste. I could have been doing so much more with more contribution. I was very focused on myself. I regret that.
