Personal Time Management 2 - What Wastes Time?

Do poor personal time management attitudes and practices spill over and affect an employer's expectation of an employee's poor time management?

Time wasting is a cluster or cloud of unthinking. For a particular individual in may include one or more of the following:




  • a lack of clear personal aims and objectives;


  • a lack of personal priorities in a given period of time;


  • a personal tendency to "butterfly" , ie flit from one thing to another before completing anything;


  • a lack of detailed planning;


  • a failure to develop an attitude to improve everyday practices;


  • a failure to develop habits, routines or protocols in daily life;


  • a lack of appropriate resources and so achieve task on time; and,


  • a tendency to procrastinate or let go of self-discipline.


The earlier (original) film "Cheaper by the Dozen" and the book upon which the film is based will give a vivid and amusing insight into the above - they are about the Gilbreth Family of Frank Gilbreth and Lillian Moller Gilbeth.
