Time management is a matter of prioritization, focus and discipline.  (Sounds easy, right?).  First, keep and maintain a to-do list of your top tasks and priorities.  I just released a new task management app called priorigami (http://www.priorigami.com) if you want to try it out.Then, commit to using a calendar to track and manage your time.  Include all meetings, appointments and even slot in the work that you need to get done in between meetings.  Most important, is to understand when you are most productive during the day and focus on getting the most critical work done during those times.Once you've prioritized your tasks and planned out your day then you just need to work the plan.  Stay focused and give yourself breaks and rewards when you accomplish something to stay motivated.Good luck!

My belief is that people who have problem with time management may not be priotizing activites/tasks. Learn to prioritize tasks, and then focus on the important ones. Rest can wait. Also, learn to say "no".

Pick up this book called "Eat that frog" by Brain tracy. Give it a light read. It is too good. The book will teach you what you are looking to learn with regards to time. I am sure you can finish reading the book with in 2-3 days. Hope it will help you.
