I realize the irony of someone who let several months go by without updating his blog posting about time management. Let me defend myself by saying that, had I implemented this approach, I'm confident my posts would have been much more regular.
“It’s been said there are two paradigms to scheduling — the manager and the maker. The manager’s day is cut into 30-minute intervals, and they change what they’re are doing every half hour. Sorta like Tetris — shifting blocks around and filling spaces. The maker’s day is different. They need to make, to create, to build. But, before that, they need to think. The most effective way for them to use time is in half-day or full-day blocks. Even a single 30-minute meeting in the middle of 'Make Time' can be disruptive.”
Quick read with very practical advice based on real results.
