A daily meditation practice can improve time management by boosting attention, sharpening focus, enhancing workflow, and preventing procrastination.

Boost attention.
Mediation affects the anterior cingulate cortex, a part of the brain involved in monitoring your focus and self-control. Practicing mindfulness meditation has consistently been shown to improve the ability to sustain attention.

Sharpen focus.
A daily meditation practice can increase self-discipline and sharpen focus at work. Meditation that brings self-awareness to one's emotions and mental state can allow him or her to approach situations with a clearer and more focused mindset.

Enhance workflow.
Mindfulness meditation has been reported to get people into a greater state of concentrated productivity. Meditation can help one achieve a "state of effortless action" by understanding and establishing goals, prioritizing tasks, and overcoming challenges - a major key in time management.

Prevent procrastinating.
A daily practice can reduce frustration, self-depreciation, and giving up on tasks. Meditation encourages one to be actively engaged in present feelings, thoughts, and behavior in a nonjudgmental manner. This mindful state is key to self-regulation, decreasing the tendency to procrastinate.
