INTRODUCTION
Effective time management is essential for project success, involving the strategic allocation of resources to meet deadlines and maintain quality. However, challenges like scope creep, poor planning, and communication gaps can disrupt timelines and hinder progress. Recognizing and addressing these issues is vital to keep projects on track and achieve desired outcomes.
OBJECTIVE
To understand underlying phenomena of challenges in managing time during a project
LITERATURE REVIEW
- The document discusses effective strategies for managing time and stress within educational leadership, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and altering unproductive values and attitudes. It integrates “classical” time-management techniques and stress-reduction methods, suggesting that both require a shift in mindset and self-awareness, alongside practical techniques. Finally, it underscores the role of supportive environments and collegial networks, as well as the significance of adapting to controllable and uncontrollable stressors for overall improvement in educational management.

- The review demonstrates that time management behaviours relate positively to perceived control of time, job satisfaction, and health, and negatively to stress. The relationship with work and academic performance is not clear. Time management training seems to enhance time management skills, but this does not automatically transfer to better performance.
