This document discusses time management and the qualities of poor time managers. It explains that according to Steven Covey, time management has evolved through four generations: note-taking and checklists, using calendars and planners, clarifying values and setting goals/priorities, and managing oneself rather than time. The document also lists qualities of poor time managers such as inability to meet deadlines, working excessive hours, losing priorities, making hasty decisions, stress, and insufficient family/social time.
