Thanks for clarifying the difference between efficient and effective. Being efficient doesn’t necessarily equate to being effective – I guess the big picture perspective might suggest being objective driven while being supported by the infrastructure, so to speak of an organized workflow system/environment.

You brought up a very important point that is often overlooked in regard to time management. Many people think of efficient and effective as synonyms. In reality you want to accomplish your work as effectively as possible, meaning you are prioritized, focused, and able to do the important things to grow your business within a minimal amount of time. Efficient by itself may streamline all tasks but doesn’t address the need to prioritize. Being efficient can help you be more effective when you choose the activities that yield the most value.

Time management is really maximising output during the time as time has its own pace and it waits for no one. This is important because if one is efficient but not effective, how is one to be judged in terms of time management? I think we need time utilisation for maximum benefit as the key focus of time management.
