ABSTRACT
Smith (1994) defined time as “a continuum in which events succeed one another from past through present to future” (p. 20). The basic aspect of time is an event. Everything in our lives is an event. Getting out of bed in the morning, driving or walking to class, reading this book are all events. Time is the occurrence of all the events in our lives in sequence, one after the other. When we talk about time management, we are really talking about event or task management. After all, the purpose of time management is to ensure that we complete all of our important tasks each day. It is not simply to manage time. Smith (1994) stated: “Controlling your life means controlling your time, and controlling your time means controlling the events in your life” (p. 20).
