In “Adjusting Your Time Management for Change – Part One,” I explained the concept of building a Master Schedule using time blocks by category. The premise was that you decide in advance how much time you’ll devote to each category per week and when that will happen. Then, you adjust the week’s schedule to reflect your master schedule by trading time slots, rather than just dropping things out.
So, where does your task management fit inside of this system? In order to look at that, we need to look more specifically at how best to handle, organize and think about your tasks and then fit them inside your calendar.
