Adjusting Your Time Management for Change – Part Three

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.
Adapt Your System
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?
The key is the master schedule. When you have a large change that is applicable at least for the next several weeks (even if it is not permanent), you look at your master schedule and make the major changes there.
Adjusting Your Time Management For Change Part Two

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.
Your WHY
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?

As baseball continues its season and basketball and hockey are getting closer to wrapping up theirs, I’ve been thinking about how an athlete has to completely adjust their schedule with every seasonal change. When you enter preseason, during the season, postseason (with any luck!) and then in between the seasons – your availability, your schedule, your needs and your responsibilities completely change.
For athletes, this happens at least 2-3 times per year! But it will also happen when you leave your sport and move into the next phase of your life. And it will happen with major changes in your life, such as a marriage, the birth of a child or the change in health status of yourself or someone in your family, whether you’re looking for a job or starting/running a business.
There is one thing you can count on in this life – your scheduling needs will change and a sustainable and productive time management system must be able to flow with those changes.
