Management of Time of Cyber World
The fact that people are aware of the concept of time, and that comprehend its importance help them to understand many physical, spiritual and biological effects of time on them as well. On account of its aforementioned effects, the concept of time management has entered our lives in order that time can be used more effectively. In this context, time management includes “determination of requirements, preparation objectives so as to fulfill the requirements, prioritizing the necessary tasks and arrangement of these tasks according to the resources and time with the methods of planning, scheduling and list making” (Cagliyan & Goral, 2009, p. 176). In other saying, time management can be defined as being to give priority to the tasks according to the requirements in the period of time, beginning and end of which are determined, and to plan the time so that the determined objective is achieved on the specified date.
Computers, mobile phones, tablets and other smart devices that are part of daily life facilitate and accelerate every aspect of our lives. However, the fact that technology has become a part of our lives brings some troubles and problems in its train as well. Within this scope, it has become very important to use time effectively in the digital age. However, since the cyber world has so many possibilities, time management is getting difficult accordingly. Within this scope, so as to facilitate the time management, the person;
-
• Need to know themselves. They should know their weaknesses and strengths and adjust their time accordingly.
• They should have a say in their own lives and time instead of giving instant reactions.
• They should ask themselves such questions as “For what do we go online? How long will we be online?”.
• They can determine the time, when they will not use the internet during the day, and they can act sensitively to comply with this time.
• It will be useful, in terms of time management, for the person to acquire different hobbies, which are outside of the cyber world, in order to have fun.
• While loneliness increases the time spent in the cyber world, this causes the person to become more lonesome (Tarhan, 2018). Therefore, the social environment is of importance in terms of time management in the cyber world.
• It should not be forgotten that the cyber world is a means rather than an end.
• The person should determine the hierarchy of importance and act according to their priorities. They should say ‘This is very important to us. We will devote more time to this. This is less important, we will spend less time to this "(Tarhan, 2018). By this means, time management will be in the person’s power.
