Managing Your Time--So it Doesn't Manage You
Posted by: Jena McGregor on June 09
Answering email on the sidelines of the soccer field, staring at a calendar so full 10 minutes sounds like free time, keeping up with the ever-growing to-do list. Readers of BusinessWeek have voted, and managing their time—and their crackberries, their calendars, and their task lists—is one of the most vexing issues they face at work. What are your strategies for getting things done? What solutions have you discovered?

I have found the project management software tool Wrike to be the best available. They are offering a free tril at www.wrike.com However, I have been using the professional version since January with spectacular results.

My weapon is having a planner and using it every day. It keeps me on track with tasks, projects, etc, and I can schedule time for meetings with myself when I need to focus on things that need my total concentration. Not reading email the 1st hour of the work day is another strategy that will yield huge benefits. I learned lots of great tips from Julie Morgenstern's books "Never Check Email in the Morning" and "Time Managment from the Inside Out". Both are great!
