My Simplest Time Management Method

<p>Over the years I have researched and tried many time management methods. I have explored&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/48D3jVw" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">GTD</a>&nbsp;(Getting Things Done by David Allen, Mark Forster&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/3ZvIx5L" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Do It Tomorrow</a>, (this article contains affiliate links which pay me a small commission if you use them) as well as the many other systems he has developed and shared for free on his website. Additionally, I looked at some of the classics like&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/454QccF" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life</a>&nbsp;by Alan Lakein. the subject is truly vast, if you put time management in Amazon&rsquo;s search box it says there are 60,000 results. The harsh reality of time management is that complex time management systems can actually be draining on one&rsquo;s productivity. If a system takes more time than it saves, it is having a negative impact on your productivity.</p> <p>The years of research led me to begin developing my own time management systems with the main goal being simplicity. For me that meant systems utilizing one paper based tool. I never connected with digital time management tools other than the now age old outlook calendar. Keeping track of what needed to be done and the information I needed readily available&nbsp;<strong>made more sense on paper</strong>&nbsp;for me. As I developed these systems, I had a no longer online time management blog and a couple of eBooks. The eBooks are now articles on this site in hopes they will help readers of them become more productive. As time went on, I developed the&nbsp;<strong>simplest system</strong>&nbsp;which is the one I use today to manage everything in my work and personal life.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@ravegg/my-simplest-time-management-method-b7efaac46116"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
