I would talk about time management as preparation plus prioritization. A good duty day starts before the flight, so I would emphasize being punctual, organized, and mentally ready before the pace picks up.

During the flight, time management means knowing what needs attention first, staying aware of the cabin flow, and not letting small delays create bigger problems later. That applies during boarding, service, turnarounds, and any irregular situation where the pace changes quickly.
