In Adjusting Your Time Management for Change Parts One and Two, we covered creating your schedule and your task management system. In this article, I am going to show you how to adapt your system to accommodate major changes in your circumstances.
The scheduling system discussed in the first article has “adaptability to the variables of life” built into it. You take your master schedule and flip things around to accommodate the needs of the week. But how do you adjust your system when everything changes?

First, tasks are in essence, action steps. As such, every task should be associated with a goal or project – a specific, clearly defined outcome. This is your “why.” Even something as mundane as doing your laundry can be associated with a goal. For example the goal could be, “Fulfilling my role as a role model by projecting a professional image.” In order to do that, you need clean clothes, right?
