Time Management - What's that?

I get more easily distracted and pulled off task

than a kid in a candy store.

I'll do well "for awhile" at implementing rules to go by -- i.e. limiting time in the "in boxes", surfing, etc., but that all seems to slowly fall by the wayside if I'm not careful. (or I should say, it ALWAYS seems to eventually fall by the wayside, all good intentions aside).

SO, in an effort to "organize" my time and tasks better and become more productive, I bought into this little "program"... it was very inexpensive and it appears to have lots of nice features without being overwhelming. Simple to use, right!? Let's hope!

If any of you are interested, I will come back with a review on this product and my NEW time management.

And perhaps another good thing that will come out of this is that I'll stop chasing the next best thing, the next download, the next pie in the sky. I wonder if it would be ok to have a "garage sale" of my "Download" folder? :-P

Anyway, hopefully I will like and use this program, because I also signed on for resale rights on this, too, with only the most optimistic of thoughts!

I'd be interested in what other's first impressions of this product are, (you are welcome to visit the sales page but not buy)... and let me know what you thought, and whether you would be interested in hearing my review on it.

OK... my time is up for writing this post!

It's actually time to go watch the RAYS game.

(at the pub, of course).

Loved the post, to the point and personable. As I read your post much of what you said hit home. Time Management or lack thereof, very popular. Idea: You can review all the programs you downloaded, package in am ebook, and sell the ebook!

I would like to here your review of this product.

Enjoy the game,

Tonya

I always need a starting point when I get off track and I do get off track - Sunday evening before my week begins (there is another subject in there . . .) I look over my week - see what I must do and note areas of time that I could work on my projects - I will set overall day goals and week goals on a not paper that a keep in front of me or on my board. By Wednesday I note if I am on or off track. If I get off track I start all over on the Monday morning. - I do love lists – Steve

PS I have tried lots of "programs", the best is what I set up for myself. Let me know if you have any success with your new program

Well, I went out of town on family business so haven't had a chance to put this program to a real test, but hope to soon and then I'll give you an update. I just got back from 9 days away... seeing family, helping babysit a 3 and 4 yr. old and more chaos... so trying to get back on track!

Debby... not sure it is for Mac or not... maybe that sales page I have a link to above has info in that regard?
I never heard of TungleMe... so can't help you there!

Hope you all are having a great week!

I signed up for TungleMe to check it out and thought the user interface wasn't very good. Don't feel motivate to use TungleMe.

Hi Christine,

You and I seem to have the same problem. I do well for a while as far a managing my time and stay organize (especially right after I read something about time management) ... but then, I drift off the track again.

Looking forward to your review ;-)

For some Time is an elusive Butterfly, other the greatest asset owned.

If I have one recurring problem it is when I ALLOW Time to become elusive and forget the

wonderful control we can have of it.

Hope this Video will help others

You can't manage time, ould you put it in a bank? You could only learn skill sets that make yourself more efficient during the time you have.

A quick tip: Allowing flexibility will allow for creativity. I submit scheduling free floating time could increase innovation by not being a stressful period and allow the mind to wander. A byproduct would be an education that if you were only structured wouldn't happen. Just like skill sets could be transplanted in a job, solutions of others can be transplanted into your challenges.
