n
5 hours per week;
n
20 hours per month; or
n
one and a half months per year.

It is a never-ending cycle, bouncing from one crisis to the next, wasting more time without verifying the validity of the
problem. To that end, when project managers do not understand how to effectively manage their time, their workday

a negative impact on your life and health.
