Scheduling

This week, I've discussed areas of time management. The 6 most important things can help you prioritize activities. The 4 time quadrants can help organize and qualify where tasks fit. Now is the time to apply those to your schedule.

Many people find it helpful to block out their schedule and devote that time to one particular task or activity. This helps eliminate interruptions and helps focus you. A daily or weekly planner is ideal for this type of scheduling.

Many times there are tasks that can not be completed in one day. Block scheduling can still work for this by slotting a set period each day for the project to be worked on. So whether the project is a long range goal, medium range, or short term; you can still devote a set period of time each day or week to work on it.

Having flexibility in your schedule can work for you or against you. Depending on how focused you can be, you may be tempted to procrastinate when you have flexibility. That is when block scheduling can really work for you. On the other side, having flexibility in your schedule can keep you sane when things don't follow your schedule.

Balance in life is always a good thing.

May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed. Psalms 20:4 (NIV)
