TIME AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Time management is the process of planning, organizing, implementing and evaluating the use of time in order to accomplish or perform certain tasks or duties.

Energy is the ability in us which enables us to do work. It is human resources, everyone has energy to use but the one we have is limited. Energy management is the process of planning and controlling the use of energy in order to preserve it. When energy is properly managed more tasks can be accomplished in a shorter time without much fatigue.

Time and energy management is the process of proper use of planned time and energy to carry out food preparation without fatigue. (i.e after meal preparation, the homemaker or food handler is still full of energy)
