I’ll keep this one brief.
It’s easy to understand.
Many Time Management trainers would have you schedule your tasks to times of the day.
Again, perhaps that really does works for some business managers who have fewer tasks with power to delegate.
But when you’re trying to run your own life, with all your personal interests and responsibilities, scheduling tasks to time just isn’t even in the running.
It would work fine if you was a robot, and lived on a planet with no other people.
But being human… living in civilization… your mood, energy levels, focus, interruptions, distractions, changing circumstances, etc all get in the way of any kind of crisp tight military schedule of tasks planned to set times of the day or week.
Scheduling activities to time in a modern lifestyle does NOT work.
At best, these techniques of prioritizing by importance and urgency… and scheduling tasks to time… are inspirational, cool for the short-term, (because they give us ideas, and help make us more focused and disciplined) – but soon enough, we end up back in the same groove we were in before, frustrated, overwhelmed, not getting done as much as we really want.
So the last resort is to try and settle for making daily or weekly… or even monthly (yikes!) to-do lists… Thinking that it will help give us a bit more human flexibility than scheduling- tasks-to-time.
