I am very interested to see Francis' suggestion to reframe "time management" as "personal habit management" and wondering how that might work!

I'd be interested to here people's views especially those of you from non-US/UK/European/Australian backgrounds.

When I was living in Asia, specifically in the Philippines it was called Philippine Time. Even the locals would joke about the practice of showing up late for appointments or not at all.
