Purpose:

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview for those interested in the current state-of-the-art in time management skills with general perspectives in reference with John Milton’s On his Having Arrived at the age of 23”.

Findings:

The paper demonstrates that time management behavior relates 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 may not automatically transfer to better performance.

First of all, time management has been defined and operationalized in a variety of ways. Some instruments were not reliable or valid, which could

According to Orlikowsky and Yates (2002), the temporal dimension of work has become more important because of expanding global competition and increased demands for immediate availability of products and services However the importance of time and the usage of time towards the achievements of goal was told by John Milton in 1631. In his poem “On his Having Arrived at the age of 23”.Milton is thought to have written the sonnet shortly after graduating from Cambridge University, and the poem is very consistent with the thoughts of a young man who has completed the early phase of his life and is about to move into a wider world.
