But time management is more about knowing how long you need to do activities and planing accordingly. You practice by doing an estimation, do the thing, see how long you took and next time correcting accordingly. And there is no shame in using alarm clocks to remind you of the important bits.
That said, mental conditions like ADHD can make this incredibly hard. But in general you don’t keep the clock in your head, you keep stuff in your head and look at the clock every now and then.

But to do those estimations you need a clock in your head.

People are too sensitive to be able to hear what you’re saying without getting triggered.
They think because obsession is written in books as a disease that you’re attacking time management on a moral level.
I know what you mean. You’ve got the technical definition of obsession, you’re thinking about what it means as a mental mechanism. It means constant re-pointing of the awareness to a particular topic.
A person who practices time management is said to be “time conscious”. Consciousness is something that’s only directed at a subset of things at a time, so when we say a person is conscious of a thing we mean they’re conscious of it for a large amount of time. Being conscious of something a large amount of the time is also, at its extreme, the definition of obsession.
I think that’s what you’re saying, right?
Someone who sticks to a schedule is like a mind that sticks to a thought.
