Some Time Management Ideas

• Get your priorities straight.


• Think in terms of outcomes, rather than tasks.


• Use your down-time


• Showup Early


• Review your progress

When using a Palm or other personal information management system...

Organise tasks by context

I carry a Palm with me almost all the time, and arrange my tasks in the
following categories:

• @Agendas - Issues to discuss with people when I speak with them next


• @Anywhere - Tasks that can be done anywhere


• @Computer - At my laptop. This may also be online.


• @Home - Around my home


• @Karate - At one of my karate training venues


• @Road - While travelling or out and about, such as picking up some
  salmon for sushi tonight


• @Uni - At University (I am in my final year of an MBA)


• Calls - People to phone


• Project - Some basic Project outlines. My detailed projects are stored
  in Shadow or in MemoPad


• Waiting - Waiting for somebody else to do something with.

Routines

• Anytime tasks
  
  Review projects and ideas, and put them into memos, and ticklers, due
  dates and milestones, and put them into datebook


• End of day
  
  Update todo's from Projects: memo->todo; Update "today"
  memo (or, in my case, datebook/todo); HappyOMeter (record daily highlights);
  Next todo for each category. Todo should record what should be done
  asap.
