Time management became a real issue for me when I started work from home. Constantly getting distracted by emails, surfing etc. I found producing myself a daily work schedule helped wonders and made myself stick with it. Some great points.

Great precision and a useful set of concepts.

I like how they collectively support each other and many echo the practices I’ve learned from the project management and software engineering domains.

I believe time management is not necessary, if you are a self driven entrepreneur, as you will constantly be doing what is high in your priority list.

It may be necessary for people that do to much of one thing more than others, ie, SEO more than blogging, or monetizing their sites for more profit rather than researching.

Time management is necessary for gaming entrepreneurs, as you lose track of time when gaming.

I physically shuddered when I saw the title of this article!! My time management skills hae always, to say the least, been less than satisfactory!!
Nevertheless, a great piece, which ahs given me quite a bit to think about.. Thanks

Thanks so much for your post! I often feel like I must be the one lost soul who can’t keep up with these systems people try to teach us. Esp. because I seem to be better at keeping paper lists than electronic ones.

I’m definitely checking out your website and your ChangeThis manifesto to see if I can just create something that works for ME–not some type-A super-organized person who rarely needs the flexibility to turn on a dime when opportunities arise.

Hi,

great post on time management and what to do or do not. Personally I’ve discovered that speed-reading is a huge time saver too. Just being able to read 1000 o2 2000 words a minute is a great way to read trough huge piles of articles, papers etc.

First as was really sceptical about being able to read so fast and still being able to remember things I’ve read. But after attending two or three training sessions and keeping up with this technique, I’m able to see I’ve joined the league of fast reading people. And o boy, what a time saver this is.

Enjoy.

I have a suggestion that might overcome the immunity!

Instead of seeing the 11 fundamentals as tips, see them as habits to learn.

Then, don’t try to learn more than new 1-2 habits at a time. If you check my site, you’ll find some coaching I give based on the latest research done with addicts on how to create new habits that stick.

Most people fail by trying to change too many habits too quickly. It took you years to learn the ones you are using, and it may take months to train yourself to do things differently, so give yourself a break and make it easy for yourself.

That might take away the need for the handcuffs!

I think I have a medical condition which makes me immune to time management I’m all over the place, all the time. I’ll try the 11 tips but unless one of them is “handcuff yourself to your desk”, I think it will be tough.
