Time management is a disciplined mindset to be able to live in the moment while working toward the future. It is all mental—it’s an attitude. Having control in your life is about commitment, routines, flexibility, adjustments, and planning. We create our own self-limitations. We say we’ll do tomorrow what we really want to do today. Eliminate what’s holding you back. “Time Management Manifesto” offers specific actions that will teach subscribers the following themes:
- Manage your time, don’t let it manage you
- Time management is required of all levels, in all positions
- The benefits of managing professional time effectively spill into your personal space
Throughout the interview, Tom gives some great advice on ways to manage your time.
One idea is to block off a period of time at the end of each work day to plan out your next day. The same thing is to plan out your month a week or two before the beginning of the next month.
