In this article, the problems faced by professional employees with time management are discussed. Through empathic listening method, 10 people working in the professional field were interviewed in depth. The problems of being stuck between work, family and other tasks and not being able to realize themselves were examined. Especially, professionals have a high sense of responsibility which blocks the holistic time management. The importance of what one should do in life as a priority in time management was revealed. When people's priorities and responsibilities other than themselves dominate, time management turns into performance management determined by others. It focuses on how to allocate certain hours of the day from a mathematical perspective. It was understood that time management should be evaluated in psychology and social psychology as well as administrative sciences. Based on the interviews, a 3-step time management model was proposed. The first step is to recognize oneself. It is the determination of what the person wants to do in life by revealing the intrinsic motivation elements. The second step is to communicate around them, convey their demands and share their responsibilities. The third step is to create reasonable pressure on oneself to complete the work (extrinsic motivation). Extrinsic motivation is not separate from intrinsic motivation but complementary.
