Time. Who’s using yours? For me, one of the biggest challenges in managing my time is less the actual hours and minutes; it’s more the time my mind spends on projects. It’s not so hard to calendar events and project time; it’s much harder to keep my mind on one thing at a time. I’ll be working on a project of my own and suddenly find myself sidetracked into thinking about a client’s project or another project of my own or some chore that should get done.
So far, the best way I’ve been able to keep this in check is to have a pad nearby at all times or to use the note function on my phone. If i stop long enough to write down the random or off-topic thought I can usually get it out of my head and return to the project at hand.
This is a quick post – just something to think about – and I’ll circle back around to the topic again. Right now, as the rain flls outside and lightening flashes past my window, it’s food for thought.
