Abstract

The technological possibilities to carry out work activities multiply and require from people more time. At the same time, other aspects of life, such as family, social commitments, physical activities, leisure, education and health, also require our time. For this reason, this continuous period, named time, becomes a core element that demands an adequate management if the goal is to carry out activities related to all dimensions of human life. It is not enough, however, to carry out tasks in the stipulated time. It is necessary to combine productivity, good performance and quality of life. Based on this, the following question is raised: What conceptual elements and scope are related to time management, correlating productivity, quality of life and performance in terms of the researches nationally published? Thus, the proposal of the present research has as general objective to present a comprehensive, but up-to-date, view on the researches involving concepts of time management, considering the impact on productivity, quality of life and performance. In order to elucidate this question, a methodology was drawn up based on exploratory research, and the data are derived from bibliographical researches, internet, books and articles, through bibliometric procedures, database mapping with emphasis on the analysis of frequency of words and expressions. The results show that the field of conceptual comprehension of this theme are related largely to the courses of administration and engineering. It was evidenced that the thought "time is the same for everyone, the difference is on how each one deals with it" fits perfectly into the relation between time, productivity and quality of life, since it will depend on each professional and his way of work. The point relies on not simply to use time, but on how to do it.
