What are the examples of poor time management?

Some examples of poor time management would be after putting the laundry in the washer or dryer, sitting around doing nothing, and claiming that it took 2 hours to wash and dry clothes. During that time when the machine is actually doing the work, the floors could be swept and mopped, the sinks and bathrooms cleaned, and the carpet vacuumed. All in two hours. Then if there is another load of laundry to do, put it in the washer when the first load goes into the dryer, and do the dishes when the second load is drying. Then fold the laundry and put it away. In 3 1/2 to 4 hours, all of that is completed for the week.

I'm one to not waste time trying to organize my time.
I organize my ideas, I organize my stuff, but time is precious. I do what feels right for the moment, and try not to micromanage a schedule.

My definition of poor time management is when a guy or girl does things that are not necessary. Starbucks when you are thirsty is okay. Starbucks when you just came back from a smoothie shop is unnecessary. That's how you know the difference between poor time management and effective time management. Exercising when you've been sitting all day is fine. Exercise just because you want to flex your muscles in front of a girl when you have homework due means you waste time.

Being late and not calling them to let them know.

Your whole life is an unorganized mess and you can't get a grip on it.

You piss people off at you because you think you are fashionably late or don't show up at all.

Not dependable and everyone know it.

People like you are a dime a dozen.

It might be ok with you to be like that, but for the people on the receiving end just probably think you are a jerk wasting their time.

Poor time management can occur in various ways, impacting productivity and overall well-being:

Procrastination: Delaying tasks until the last minute, which can lead to rushed work and increased stress.

Lack of Prioritization: Failing to prioritize tasks effectively, often spending too much time on less important activities.

Multitasking Inefficiency: Trying to handle too many tasks simultaneously, which can reduce the quality of work and increase the likelihood of errors.

Overcommitting: Taking on more tasks or projects than one can handle, leading to burnout and difficulty in meeting deadlines.

Failing to Set Goals: Not having clear, achievable goals can make it difficult to focus and allocate time effectively.

Neglecting Breaks: Skipping breaks to work continuously can decrease productivity over time as it may lead to fatigue and reduced concentration.

Disorganized Work Environment: Spending excessive time looking for documents, tools, or information due to a cluttered or disorganized workspace.

Ineffective Scheduling: Not planning the day or week in advance, which can lead to poor use of available time and missed opportunities.

Constant Distractions: Allowing interruptions and distractions to consume a significant portion of the workday, preventing focus on important tasks.

Failure to Delegate: Not delegating tasks when possible, especially those that are routine or can be handled by others, which can overload one’s schedule unnecessarily.
