Time Well Spent: Time Management for Balanced Wellbeing

February 18, 2025 / Get Well

Welcome to the third installment of OEWW’s four-part series on enhancing your wellbeing throughout the academic term. The last two articles in the series will focus on time management. As we learned in our series opener about energy management, how we structure our time directly impacts our ability to maintain sustainable energy levels and engage fully in both professional and personal pursuits. The strategies shared in our second installment about building momentum become more achievable when we master the art of time management.

Why it matters: Time management isn’t just about maximizing productivity. It is one of the building blocks of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. It’s about holding space for what truly matters. By taking control of your schedule, you reduce stress, enhance focus and maintain the flexibility to respond to both work demands and personal priorities.
