Each Day into 3 segments
This weekend I heard a time management principle from my pastor that I have heard before, but that I am thinking about taking seriously now. That is to make each week into 21 segments; which is 7 days into morning, afternoon and evening, and organizing what I plan to do in those segments.
I have been a Getting Things Done, David Allen junkie for that past 18 months, but I find the distraction of large lists to be counterproductive. I am moving to this middle ground between GTD and 4 Hour Work Week, where I not only capture things so they don’t fall through the cracks, I also limit the things I am trying to capture or just doing the ones with the highest value (80/20 rule land).
Regardless of whether you use 4 Hour Work Week, Getting Things Done, or Franklin Covey, I think Prioritizing your time will always trump Managing your time. If you let a bunch of junk in, you can manage it all you want, it is still junk.
So, here it goes with the 21 segments experiment - I will let you know how it goes!
