Save time by avoiding time management
Time management sounds good on paper, but it’s a really crappy thing to implement. I gave “time management” a try and found it to be ineffective.
Why? I find that when you allocate time for curtain activities, you give it too much time or too little time. When you give it too much time, you procrastinate or give it more importance then it’s worth. When you give it too little time, you’ll get disrupted and might not finish the activity in the future.
What I usually do is have a list of only things that I must do for the day, then I do it. I don’t allocate any time or try to micro-manage my time by writing a time table. That why I won’t procrastinate, nor make projects go incomplete.
Another example is writing at least one post per day for this website. Sometimes I write in the morning, sometimes I write in the evening, occasionally I don’t write at all.
What I found out is that when I don’t have a forced set of time to write, I easily church out 1-3 articles per day (this post only took 10 minutes!) But when I force myself to write, nothing right comes out of it. (This is for people good for writers out there who have writer’s block!)
