Time management is one of those skills we're taught about when we're young, but it takes a lifetime to learn. It's why people have assistants and G-Cals and smartwatches. We need a lot of help to figure out what we're supposed to do and when. Full-time jobs especially have a way of eating away at your life, and you're just left figuring out what to eat for dinner before your head hits the pillow. But some people seem like they're managing it all. They have side hustles, rigorous fitness routines, meal-prep habits, and time to make TikToks about it.
