Efficiency

Effectiveness
Description
Planning and Structuring Time
It boils down to whether you are making intelligent, thoughtful, informed decisions about what tasks to do and when it is easiest
and most productive to do them.
Being Proactive
To use time efficiently, you need to take a proactive, flexible and strategic approach to planning and managing your workload, with the goal of getting the work done with minimum pain and maximum effectiveness.
Balance Work & Leisure
Efficiency also implies an appropriate balance of work and leisure time.
Efficient but not Effective
Some students are good at planning time efficiently â they have schedules and toâdo lists galore, but when they sit down to do the work, they accomplish little.
Effective but not Efficient
Some students work effectively when they do study, but because of procrastinating or poor time planning, are always behind, always cramming, and always doing things at the last minute.
Getting It Done
While efficiency looks at how strategically you're planning your time, effectiveness is concerned with how well you're using the time you have. Does the quality and quantity of the work you accomplish in a given period justify the amount of time you've spent? Are you being productive or wasting the time you
have?
