Which article are you evaluating?
Time management

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article to evaluate because I think that time management is one of the most important life skills anybody can have. With everybody having such busy schedules in this fast pace world we live in, it is a struggle to have good time management. Having to balance family, friends, work, school, and sports is overwhelming for me. However, with proper time management and recognition of the importance of balance in life, this can become less overwhelming.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article gives the reader a thorough introduction to the topic of time management. They bolded time management and described its definition in the very first sentence; thus providing the readers with a clear outlook on what the rest of the article is going to consist of.

This article also does a very good job providing content about the topic, but also is missing bits and pieces of information. They bring in "related concepts" as the first subheading after the introduction. I feel like this is something that should be placed right before the conclusion to prevent the article from bouncing from one thing to another. I also think the content could have been better in the sense of application to the real world. There should be more mention about how time management is an important LIFE SKILL that can help a person on a daily basis.

The article also seems very neutral. I do not think time management is a subject/topic where sides can be picked. It is difficult to make an argument against it or for it.

This article does a very good job with crediting their references. It has a list of 37 references and plenty of words throughout the article containing a hyperlink to a separate article. I see that they used the NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) as a reference for some of the information in the article, which is a very credible source.

The article is very easy to follow during the introduction, but then goes on to these related topics which makes it feel like it is slowly getting away from the main topic. For example, it talks about the Eisenhower Method which does not exactly relate to time management, but does support the idea of it. Overall, the subtopics do a very good job reinforcing the idea of time management. The organization is great and there are no grammatical errors that I see.

One aspect of this article that needs improvement is the presentation of it. There is only one image and for the most part, the article looks and seems very bland and boring. However, the one image that is there is well-cited and well-captioned. Some more photographs could add a little bit of flavor and interest to this article.

The talk page does not have much on it. There is one comment that is titled "Untitled", which makes the talk page look unprofessional and unfinished. We also do not know what the comment contains based on that title.

Overall, the article seems well-organized with the information it has, but is leaving out a lot of key content. The article contains related topics about time management with subtopics within them. However, I feel like this article has some weaknesses as well. It can definitely extend more on the idea and definition of time management before quickly jumping into related topics. The introduction does a great job outlining the basics of the phrase time management, but there is still more room to expand.
