Being organized - though it has many facets - is more about having things in place. Your belongs, your schedule, your life. It's about having things arranged in a certain order. It's about being able to find things in a short amount of time. It's about knowing where to find things. It's about things looking presentable, neat, orderly.
Being efficient means that thing are done in the best way possible.
Being effective means that we are doing what's best.
Time Management uses both efficiency and effectiveness. Time management is about activities while organization is about things.
You can't really manage time. You can only manage how you use it.
You can't be productive if you waste time. You can't be productive if you aren't organized. Just because you do more in a day doesn't mean that what you have accomplished is worth anything. If the quality of the work you produced is not up to par - then have you really accomplished more? If you produced less but the quality of the work or product was better - wouldn't you really be further ahead?
It's complicated and for the best results organization, efficiency, effectiveness and time management must all work together.
