Time Management

First of all you cant manage time; it takes care if itself. All we can manage is how we use it. I dont like productivity management either, because we use our time for every purpose, obviously. I think I like the very simple, How We Use Our Time

Ive taken courses on this subject with different names. Im in a Mastermind Group with 6 people, including 4 coaches. And I know that they have all taken similar courses. But last week I was late (I had an excuse, but it was garbage) and another participant missed the call (she completely went blank, even though she clearly remembered about it 12 hours earlier.)

I state, aphoristically, If your Time Management System works, then youre not busy enough. My wife couldnt understand this, but thats because she doesnt use one.

We all have time wasting habits. I know I should allocate a specific time for my emails, but I still peak. I know I should touch papers only once, but I still move them from here to there or I let them pile up and up and up.

I know I have to leave time in between appointments, but even when it is completely up to me, I sometimes bump the head of one into the tail of the other (and of course screw up the overlap either ending one early or starting the other late)

I havent figured out how to manage my reminder systems. How long do I need to get ready? How soon in advance must I prepare for something? What are my intermediate actions to reach a goal and how do I manage them?

I point out that if I answer those questions, there are simply more things to manage and track.

Did I mention Im leading another time management course next week?
