According to (e.g. Eliam and aharon 2003) Time management can be viewed as
a way of monitoring and controlling time in this. It would be more appropriate
to speak about self-management with regard to the performance of multiple
tasks within a certain time period.
McCay (1959) developed a concept for the time management training program
which is still being used. Critical elements are giving insight into time-
consuming activities changing time expenditure, and increasing workday
efficiency by teaching people how to make a daily planning, how to prioritize
tasks and how to handle perfect tasks.
The interest in the time management is by no means new. The problem of how
to manage time was already discussed in the 1950’s and 1960’s and several
authors proposed on how to handle time issues on the job. (e.g. Dnicker, 1967,
Lakein 1973, Mackenzie 1972 McCay 1959). They suggested simple remedies
such as writing workplans down on paper (so-called “to-do lists”) in order to
increase Job performance. At the same time some authors (e.g. Druker, 1967)
recognized that planning tasks and activities does not always lead to their
completion of planned work, especially when time pressure it high.
