30 day progress 4 days ago

It has been 30 days since I listened to the Time Management seminar by Randy Pausch. Notes from that lecture are available online but I found it helpful to take some notes of my own.

I think that I have been utilizing my time more efficiently but there is still a HUGE room for improvement. Specifically I can plan better. I’m still wasting large amounts of time and I struggle with tracking that time in a journal.

To improve I’m going to focus on daily planning. When I get up everyday, I’m going to draft out a list the things I’m going to accomplish and how completing those things will make my day fantastic. And I’ll allow myself to celebrate even if I don’t finish everything as long as I make progress on the important things.

Tracking my time with a time journal has been difficult. It isn’t a technically challenging task but it requires awareness of how you spend your time and a consistent focus. I’m going to improve my awareness of how I spend/waste time.
