Time Management

Time management is an huge topic. Some of the attention points that comes to me are the following:

Manage wisely your time

 * the basics of Time Management


 * how to define the priority of a task


 * identify what is draining your time


 * Make it a routine and work on a Time Box system when there is not a strict milestone.


 * register for later - Mano mano che arrivano input, questioni, solleciti o richieste di azione, se queste implicano un lavoro maggiore di pochi minuti, devono essere registrare su un delle ToDo list o dei log della settimana che vengono poi smaltiti e svecchiato nelle analisi periodiche


 * Develop an effective meeting management


 * Develop an effective mail processing procedure


 * manage correctly your free time

Kevin Fox commented on Twitter: “My Instapaper button would be more accurately titled ‘Read it Never.’”

Are you like Kevin? Do you have lots of articles you’ve saved to read later — that you never seem to get to? You may want to review that reading list and see which ones you still want to make time to read, and which you can just delete.

But some people are fine with a long list, and you might be, too. Om Malik spoke to Nate Weiner of Pocket, who noted that people go back to read 10-70 percent of the articles they put into Pocket, with the average being 50 percent. But Weiner went on to add:

Maybe you  don’t  need to clean up your saved-for-later reading list — or your RSS feeds, your email newsletters, or your apps. Or maybe you just want to do some limited cleanup. Do you like having a large number of items to choose from when you have some reading time, or does having such a large collection overwhelm you? The answer to that question will help you determine your strategy.

But whether you keep your reading list short, or keep it long (knowing you’ll never read it all), you’ll still need to be super-choosy about what you eventually spend time reading. Because this wish from M.S. Bellows, Jr. probably isn’t going to come true: “I want to be reincarnated in a way that preserves all my bookmarks, pockets, and favorites, so I can spend 80 years simply reading.”
