Article Title: Towards Effective Time Management among Lecturers in Nigerian Universities
by Ekundayo, Haastrup T, konwea, Patience E., and Yusuf, Musibau A.

Abstract:
Time is one of the scarce resources known to man. Ironically, man does not have any control over it. The idea of time management could therefore be explained within the framework of achieving a lot of success in the work place within a time frame. Most often than not, lecturers in Nigerian universities complain of 'no time' to carry out their various schedules and activities in schools. It appears that many of them seem to spend much of their time doing things that are not important. This paper therefore discusses the concept of time and time management as well as the strategies for effective time management among lecturers in the nation's universities. Based on the identified problems and the strategies suggested it was recommended that lecturers should set up their priorities and schedule their time to the various activities to avoid lopsidedness in the performance of their job. It was further recommended that lecturers should monitor their activities very well, identify the various time wasters in their activities and try as much possible to avoid or reduce them to the bearest minimum if increased productivity is to be achieved.
Keywords: time management, universities, time scheduling, procrastination, time-wasters
