computerages Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Hi everyone! I was just curious about how you guys go about managing your time... Do you create daily schedules, to-do list, or what? And if you use one of these formulaa, then how do you make yourself follow it... I myself prefer to make schedueles...but when it comes to follow 'em...I just give up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 i just do stuff as it comes along. I don't bother with schedules as every time I make a plan something goes wrong and the plan has to change. Just wing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I agree with alien, I hate schedules, they make me feel like I have less time in the day, once I start organizing my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tree Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I just take stuff as it comes. I tend to plan when I have to do homework, but that's about it. I suck at keeping track of time, like today, I intended to spend half an hour in the pub, wich I did, but then another hour... oh dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyssia Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I'm one of those people that can't just wing it; when I do I tend to just whitter away the entire day in front of the tv or something. I usually use a program like Korganiser to make to-do lists (not just relating to work - I'm as scatterbrained with everything else too) and organise what I'm doing each day.

JohnB Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I work out what things I need to complete on any given day. The actual nuts and bolts of how I do it is done on the fly. There are too many variables in my industry for detailed planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ku Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I divide all my tasks into either work or leisure, quantify the different tasks, and then make sure that the leisure to work ratio does not spiral too high. Work can include things like exercise. Watching TV is leisure. The difficulty is in figuring the values for the different tasks. If work does not equal leisure at the end of the day, I punish myself. This has led me to do some quite nifty things like simultaneously engaging in work and leisure so that my activity gives neither cost nor benefit (it is a zero-sum activity). E.g. I often watch TV while I exercising on the treadmill. __________________ http://members.fortunecity.com/ketthia/fiction.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
