friends, the meaning of the word orient in the dictionary  is : find one's position in relation to unfamiliar surroundings.

i could not relate this meaning to the phrase : time - oriented. 

Could anyone explain me the mystery behind this.........???

TIme-oriented:

• Prefer to work on a project for a set period of time, whether you finish it or not. This means you make calls, file, lesson plan, grade, or enter data, for a set amount of time, and then move on to another timed task.
• We may not actually finish what needs to be finished. However, if we commit to working on the project for set time spans we will eventually finish if we keep coming back to it.
• set a timer, plan, or grade for 15 minutes, then move to your next activity.
