Definately - A good manager will link his priorities to line-up with his managers goals. So that is the fisrt thing to understand.
Now in task execution there will be a time frame set, for example in the oil and gas environment -your team needs to commission a pump. That is the priority, the goal for the day. In accomplishing a goal you need to ensure if the goal is clear, is it: specific, measuareable, achievable, relevant and time-bound?
Now you can manage the taks/priority by issueing the instruction to your team as follows: Please start to commission P-1001A at 08:00, the goal is to have the pump running before end of day. Maintenace and electrricians are available for assistance if needed, and give me continues feedback during the commissioning.
So the goal is now managed, well looked after and within a specif time frame. Time management is only as good as your planning, planning can only happen if you have a clear goal. This is just simplified, a manager will do this with all of his work, and end up with priority list that is in some cases unimaginable long. But the rule stays the same, break it down and plan. If you start by time management first - your plan and goal will fail.
Recognize what your critical priorities are and set boundaries around them. For example, you may need strategic thinking time but can’t schedule it because you’re running between back-to-back meetings. By zeroing in on what your priorities are, you’re better able to assess which meetings are in line with your priorities, decline those that aren’t, and then schedule strategic thinking time into your now open time slot
Managing time is a metaphorical concept, in fact no one can manage to make an interval of time shorter or longer, what you really manage is your productivity during an interval of time. and that happens through prioritizing, prioritizing involves categorizing activities into 4 distinct groups:-
1- Important and urgent - Start on it Fast
2- Important but not urgnet - Plan it
3- Urgent but not important - Delegate it
4- Not Important not Urgent - Don't do it or delegate it.
The above are the guidilines to manage your productivity through the understanding of the implications or the cost/benefit of doing/not doing an activity.
no...i think opposite of it.
I agree with our specialist @Nisreen Essam
Whenever you manage priorities , you have to manage time given for each priority .

We should manage time according to priorities. We can not just manage one only.
