SMART goals improve time management by creating structure and reducing wasted effort. They help you focus on priorities and complete tasks efficiently.

Here is why it works: Clear goals prevent distractions and make daily planning easier.

Examples:

1. Limit social media use to 20 minutes per day for 30 days.
2. Use a calendar to block two hours of focused work daily for one month.
3. Complete weekly task reviews every Sunday evening for 12 weeks.

Next steps: Write one SMART time management goal that removes a common time-waster. Track progress weekly.

Over time, SMART time goals increase productivity and free up hours for what matters most.
