Time Management in the Digital Age

Today, people are often busier than ever working from home, and managing several obligations at once during the day. With more time at home, people are having to juggle time spent between families, partners, school (whether university or a child’s school), a job, hobbies, and many other activities. Simply put, working remotely often leads to many people struggling to juggle many different things in their lives. In addition to this, many people are losing their ability to pre-plan, create, and effectively manage their daily schedules—often leading to people working too much and losing their work-life balance in the pandemic; or, leading to people working too little and falling behind in the personal and professional duties in and outside of the home.As a result of this, there is a need today—now, more than ever—for people to create and establish effective time management practices in their lives. People need to be able to understand the fundamentals of time management, how to fulfill these aspects of time management, what the best frameworks and practices are, ad what tools are available to them to better manage their time.In addition to this, however, many people are struggling with time management because of the impact of digital technology and digital work.
