Within your team you will need to recognise that people work differently, some may have a structured view of working (where promptness is highly valued and most tasks are done one at a time) whereas others have a non-structured view of working (where promptness is more context related and greater emphasis is placed on multitasking). All project work requires a degree of flexibility but as a project manager you need to know when to be strict with schedules and plans and when to take a less structured approach. If your work requires you to deal with different countries then you will need to appreciate that different cultures have different perceptions of time i.e. in terms of how they view punctuality and average number of work hours.
One of the most important messages about time management is that it takes place in the present moment; the choices of how you manage your time are only available to you now.
This resource aims to help you manage your time more effectively by suggesting a number of tools and approaches that you may find applicable to your own circumstances.
