Time Management - MakeTime Concrete

So in order to make time management work, you gotta be able to see time. So lets compare it to a closet where it looks like a bomb has gone off.

The Cluttered Closet:
Restricted amount of space.
There is way more junk than space.
Everything is jammed and cramp packed.
You can't find what you need.

The Cluttered Schedule:
Restircted amount of time.
There are more things to do than there is time.
To do things are penciled in unorganized.
Its difficult to see what is on the to do list.


Calculation is the key. Practice this, how long will it take me to do this, write the actual time it took for future reference.

Try this:

Pick 3 task that you avoid doing.
Make a chart:


Estimate Time Log

|Task #1:|Estimated time you think how long it will take|Actual Time|
|Task #2:|Estimated time you think how long it will take|Actual Time|
|Task #3:|Estimated time you think how long it will take|Actual Time|


Now do this for a week with your planer.

Now compare, is there a pattern? How much are you off? What was fast? What took more time?

Now try it for a MONTH!!!
