What does effective time management look and feel like?

Effective time management doesn't mean that you accomplish everything that you set out to do in the course of a day. It means that you prioritize effectively, are focused, and maintain a balance in your life. You DO get a lot done in the course of a day, and because you prioritize, there's never anything that HAS to get done that doesn't. You also spend time with family and friends, and you don't sacrifice on your sleep. How do you know when you've succeeded at becoming an "effective" time manager? You will feel less stressed, be more productive, feel good about yourself and develop more positive relationships with others. You will both get more done AND improve your relationships.
