Definition
The process of organizing and planning how to divide time between specific activities to maximize efficiency and productivity.
Etymology
The concept gained prominence during the Industrial Revolution when standardized work hours became common. It was further developed in the early 1900s by efficiency experts like Frederick Winslow Taylor, who studied scientific management. The phrase itself became popular in the 1960s with the rise of business productivity literature.
Kelly Says
Ironically, the obsession with time management is largely a modern Western phenomenon - many cultures historically viewed time as cyclical rather than linear. The Pomodoro Technique, one of today's most popular time management methods, was named after a tomato-shaped kitchen timer and developed by a university student in the 1980s.
