Entwickeln Sie ein auf Sie abgestimmtes Zeitmanagementsystem

Während meines ersten Studienjahres in den späten 1980er Jahren habe ich meinen ersten Zeitmanagementkurs belegt und der Dozent bat uns, unseren Zeitplan für den gesamten Tag aufzuschreiben – einschließlich der genauen Zeit, die wir an jeder Aufgabe arbeiten würden. Ich habe pflichtbewusst einen auf-die-Minute-genauen Zeitplan erstellt, der auflistete, was ich an diesem Tag machen würde. Von 8 Uhr bis 8.30 Uhr werde ich diese Aufgabe erledigen. Von 8.30 bis 9.10 werde ich das machen.
