organize my time better

I’m still obsessed with the various task tracking software and I’m hoping that Tasks from King Design will be the solution. I’ve been using the trial and so far so good. It has all the features i’m looking for including:

*sub-tasks
*priorities
*tagging
*ical
*pda syncing

I’ll have to learn how to use the templating feature along with ways to change the esthetics but so far so good!

I think I’ve done pretty good at my attempts at time management for exam week. Yes of course I wish I started studying sooner!! And believe me at the time .. i did study but it wasn’t as effective as the last couple days. The motivation and pressure the day or two before the exam is just so much stronger!! This year exam week was more about reviewing things that I hadn’t looked at in a awhile. But thats okay! Re-learning is much faster than learning from scratch. A great lesson for the future.

Last week we had really high winds that knocked out electricity and cable. We left the house during the day coz theres not much we could do with no power and when we got back everything was back to normal except for the cable. The internet was back but the tv wasn’t, it was out all weekend and I survived! At first I was bored to death, it just wasn’t the same without the white noise, but I pulled through. I realized that without the tv sucking out my brain, time went by a little slower and I got to think a little faster.

So from now on .. I’m declaring Sunday no tv day!

Need to make more lists and I don’t mean lists on paper napkins or scrap paper at work or even the many notebooks that I carry around in my bag. I have all this stuff written down but its never in the same place.

TREO!! Help me! Ack for some reason when I had a regular pda with less capabilities I actually used it more. Now with the Treo and all its features, I’ve kinda got intimidated and haven’t utilized it as effectly. How silly of me to be afraid of something I use to love so much.

Totally worth using!

Now at work I am more efficient with my time. I write down my tasks, set the priority and schedule a due date. Every day I check my list and bang, bang, bang .. things get done!

Next thing to learn Franklin Covey!
