Time management is the process that entails establishing a schedule of activities and the exercise of conscious control of how we spend on specific activities. Effective time management helps one prioritize their activities with respect to their level of urgency and importance and perhaps reduce stress build-up due to unaccomplished tasks (Memory, 2021). Proper planning and exercising consciousness on-time control so as to ensure there is enough time available to handle and complete every task at hand (Olpin & Hesson, 2020). The quality of work and activities we do in our everyday life depends on how we plan and execute them. Among the issues that lead to poor time management include prioritizing unnecessary activities with no value generation, mistaking, lack of planning and prioritization, progressive procrastination and unproductive meetings. Having identified such factors, it will be easy to advise my friend by coming with the most appropriate strategies to help him effectively manage his time and achieve his objectives with less or no stress about meeting deadlines.

Based on the question, helping a friend manage his time will require proper planning of every activity and executing every activity with respect to their urgency and importance placed on the task (Olpin & Hesson, 2020). One of the best strategies is to prepare a to-do list and remain intentional and focused towards respecting time and schedules within the to-do list. Within the to-do list, tasks will be divided into the small, urgent and quick tasks that could be completed within minutes, then over to bigger and operational tasks that could be accomplished progressively. Secondly, it will be wise to prioritize tasks to provide a better guidance throughout the day. Thirdly, remaining focused and find better ways of managing distractors will be an essential element in proper time management (Olpin & Hesson, 2020). In a nutshell, deliberate planning and time management will be the best approaches to apply in reducing time wastage.
