Time Management, Examined
Plan Your Time
What the research says about time management: whether training works, why it raised the feeling of control but not output, why tasks run long, what splitting a task does, and what stress has to do with results. Seventeen research chapters that name each study and its size, plus a weekly routine, drills with answer keys and cards to copy.

What you get
Can Training Change How You Manage Time?
A random-assignment field experiment with 56 employees: higher self-ratings and better diary ratings by three superiors.
When Training Did Not Change Behaviour
44 employees: no more time-management behaviour, no change in supervisor-rated performance.
Feeling in Control Without Doing More
71 employees: more perceived control and less stress, but no change in performance indicators.
Less Avoidance and Worry
37 trainees and 14 controls: less avoidance and worry a month after a short seminar.
Why Tasks Take Longer Than You Plan
The planning fallacy and the idea that biased memories help cause it.
Plan by Splitting the Task
Three experiments: splitting a task into parts led people to set aside more time.
Stress, Time and Results at School
94 articles: a pooled correlation of -0.32 between stress and academic performance.
Training, Anxiety and Sleep at Midlife
114 women with perimenopausal syndrome: lower anxiety and depression after 12 sessions.
Nursing Students and Nurses: Two Results
Better time management and less anxiety in students, but no drop in job stress for 80 emergency nurses.
When Attention or Mood Makes Planning Hard
55 people in a pilot of a group programme: improved time management, kept at three months.
Do the Gains Last a Year?
38 people followed up: no loss at one year and a gain in organisation and planning.
Nurses Under Strain: A 16-Week Course
66 volunteer nurses: lower symptom scores and work stress after 16 weeks of training.
Managing Free Time in Later Life
879 older adults over three surveys: leisure-time management predicted later well-being.
Even Experts Underestimate Time
759 cases, nine surgeons: total room time underestimated by 17.3 percent.
Teaching Time to Children
61 children with intellectual disabilities: an eight-week programme raised time-processing ability.
Games, Study Time and Grades
More game time went with lower GPA and SAT scores in a 2007 analysis.
How Students Say They Cope
21 nursing students describe giving most of their time to study to overcome stress.
A Practice Routine
Five if-then plans and a light weekly routine that track both control and output.
Drills: Plan, Split, Check
Match studies to results, split tasks, log time, check claims and write first actions, with checked answers. Practice material, not research.
Tools and Glossary
A week card, time log, first-action card, stress sort card, one-page checklist and a glossary of 22 terms. Practice material, not research.
What makes this different
Every research claim names its study
Each research claim names the study and its size where the abstract gave it. A Sources section lists all 18.
Mixed results shown as mixed
Where training raised control but not output, or did nothing for job stress, the book says so plainly.
Cards and drills you can use today
A week card, a time log, drills with answer keys, labelled as practice material, not research.
