I dislike the term “time management” since time cannot be managed. You cannot save time for later; you cannot change the speed of time. What you can do is to decide how to best use the time available. It’s all about doing what matters most, to plan and prioritise.

  • Focus on ONE thing at a time. Multitasking is a myth.
  • Work in short sessions. Our concentration fades gradually, take breaks to recharge.

This is a useful reminder: Productivity in 11 Words. One thing at a time. Most important thing first. Start now.

When I need to focus, I use The Pomodoro Technique.

For planning and setting priorities, see my posts “How to use the Eisenhower matrix”, “Top 5 sources with useful information about the Eisenhower Matrix” and “Alternatives to the Eisenhower matrix for planning”.
