A system, method and computer program product automating time management, includes an automated time management framework using an AI engine to for making trade offs among tasks as unexpected events occur. Each day is divided into blocks of time called Skeds. Once a Sked has begun, scheduled tasks and tasks that have been manually or automatically added to the Sked are treated as a collection. It is determined if the Sked is balanced based on total available labor minutes compared time to perform uncompleted tasks. If not, a score is calculated for each uncompleted task based on its ratings, including priority, movability, optionality, difficulty, and/or unpleasantness of the task. The uncompleted tasks are ranked using the scores, and abandoned or moved to later Skeds based on the ranking until the Sked is balanced. The balancing process is repeated until the Sked is balanced and, if not, until an end thereof.
