Do you manage your time?
If you are constantly rushing, always being late for appointments and very often missing deadlines, you just don't manage your time or you manage it the wrong way. We all have the same 24 hours a day, however, some of us manage to do everything they planned while others handle a few tasks no matter how active they are. The difference between these two groups is in 'sense of time'. Some people just can not measure the time and think that they have plenty of it for all the tasks they have.
Use calendar
The solution for this kind of people is calendar. If they can estimate the right time for each task it is much easer to schedule them on calendar. Calendar grid in comparison with To Do List shows you that time is not unlimited. You can not fill in '30 minutes' cell with a task that takes 1 hour to complete. Finally you will have a time grid with less tasks, but these tasks will be more essential. As you will have to refuse from some tasks, you will need to set priorities. According to Pareto principle, focusing on important tasks will only help. :-)
Action plan
- Start your Calendar software
- Select Task List tab
- Schedule Tasks for tomorrow
- Select Calendar tab
- Select tomorrow's date for display
- Drag & Drop the Tasks across the Time Grid

CentriQS Task Scheduling Solution CentriQS users can choose the most convenient way to schedule tasks. If most of your tasks require scheduling, you can add new tasks directly in the Scheduler view. If you schedule tasks from task list, you can drag'n'drop created tasks to the Scheduler panel. If you set task start and finish dates and time, you can do this on the Schedule tab of task detail view. Also CentriQS supports "splitting task" into multiple schedule items in case you plan to break task into parts and schedule them at different time and days of the week. |
