While I’d tried strategies to manage time in the past I’d not stuck to them or had found them ineffective. After doing the short survey in the book I rated in the top 10% of procrastinators and on the website I scored a worrying 100/100. I have recently identified myself as a Chronic Procrastinator, from reading the book ‘The Procrastination Equation’(An extremely good book backed up by many scientific studies ). While the above description might make it sound really technical, we took the cloud-based app for a spin and found the interface to be very flexible and easy to use. In that case, go with the calendar on your phone. I have both tabs open in my browser all day – this is probably good for knowledge workers strapped to their desk, not so good for those in meetings all day. As priorities change or interruptions pop up, it’s just a matter of moving tasks between boards. That way I can focus on ‘Current Work’ Do Today so I don’t feel overwhelmed and can plan my day. At the end of each day, I move things from my Backlog to my ‘Current Work’ board, with the idea to keep complete Goals before they become Critical. The other is called ‘Backlog’, which splits tasks into priority groups – ‘Distractions (NU+NI)’, ‘Goals (NU+I)’, ‘Interruptions (U+NI)’, ‘Interruptions (U+NI)’ and ‘Critical (U+I)’, where U is Urgent and I is Important (and N is Not). One board called ‘Current Work’ has three columns ‘Do Today’, ‘In Progress’ and ‘Done’. I use, with two boards to manage task prioritisation and backlog.
