time management
Controlling your hours
Time management is the practice of organizing and planning how to divide your time among tasks and activities.
The term implies deliberate control over scheduling rather than letting events dictate your day: Her time management skills helped her balance work and school.
Poor time management suggests chronic lateness, missed deadlines, or feeling overwhelmed by competing demands.
