The concept of personal time management does not, perhaps, generate immediate enthusiasm among junior doctors: the terminology seems somewhat alien and the idea more relevant to the world of business than that of clinical practice. There is a lack of coverage of this issue in the citations concerning the applications of time management to the medical profession. Although allied professions have made an attempt to address the matter (Shubin, 1988), they have tended to concentrate more on personality types (McAlvanah, 1989) and obstacles to effectiveness (Sheridan, 1988), rather than providing practical guidelines.
