I must admit is was so hard though...At first whatever plans I made for the day I always seemed to get interupted from opening emails every 5 mins to using the telephone. Now I have just learn't that unless it's urgent just leave it till later as it can wait. I have practised time management for so long now that I have finally got the hang of it.

The challenging part is not allowing the unexpected to interfere with your plans. Shutting out as much extraneous interruptions like email, phone, etc. helps a bunch. But it still seems like the unexpected always creeps in and messes me up. Planning your day on paper is the easy part.

I have recovered a lot of time by entirely dropping plans to learn a few things that do not directly contribute to my main business and assigned those to others on outsourcing basis.

I posted not too long ago a conversation in which my client found that time was more about space. When she let go of much of the busy-ness and extraneous tasks and took a look at her commitments, suddenly all kinds of time opened up for her. I think that task lists with by-whens are great if everything on them is aligned with a commitment. Otherwise we just doing-machines. Lisa Hi Mike,

I've worked on many projects with many other resources. I'm always one to plan, create "to do" lists, etc. However, if others on the team don't approach the effort with a similar purpose, then my efforts have sometimes been cancelled out. j Mike,
