time management
The systematic and disciplined planning and use of the available time in order to complete tasks efficiently and achieve goals.

This word is a combination of the German word 'Zeit' (time) and the English loanword 'Management'. It is a good example of an Anglicism in the German language.
In vielen Firmen werden Kurse für besseres Zeitmanagement angeboten.
Many companies offer courses for better time management.
'Zeitmanagement' (time management) is often combined with adjectives such as 'gut' (good), 'schlecht' (bad), or 'effektiv' (effective). Typical verbs are 'haben' (to have), 'verbessern' (to improve), or 'lernen' (to learn).
Sie hat ein sehr gutes Zeitmanagement und ist immer pünktlich fertig.
She has very good time management and always finishes on time.
To describe the benefit of time management, the preposition 'mit' (with) is often used. The sentence then often begins with 'Mit gutem Zeitmanagement ...' (With good time management ...).
Mit effektivem Zeitmanagement kann man Stress bei der Arbeit reduzieren.
With effective time management, you can reduce stress at work.
schedule
'der Zeitplan' and 'das Zeitmanagement' both belong to the way we deal with time. A 'Zeitplan' is a concrete plan with times, tasks, or steps. 'Zeitmanagement' is the ability or method of using your own time well. So it is not just about a plan, but also about setting priorities and completing tasks in a sensible way. The words can be confused because a good 'Zeitplan' can be part of good 'Zeitmanagement'. A useful rule: the 'Zeitplan' is the document or overview; 'Zeitmanagement' is the way you work with time.
Sein Zeitmanagement ist besser geworden, weil er wichtige Aufgaben zuerst erledigt.
His time management has improved because he does important tasks first.
Am Abend steht im Zeitplan noch eine Stunde zum Lernen.
