So I am officially the worst at time management. Take a look at this blog - The last one I wrote was 6 months ago! Between planning a wedding (that is yes, in 3 weeks!) and managing a new, very large and very demanding client, I've let my blog, email and social media fall to the wayside. I am officially the cobbler with holes in her shoes. I preach to my clients all day about the importance of staying on top of their digital presence and here I am letting 6 months go by without even so much as a "Hey" to all those hundreds (or tens?) of people who actually take the time to read my content. So here it is! A new blog post. I can't promise I'll update this regularly moving forward, especially with a nice relaxing Honeymoon around the corner, but I'm going to try harder. The first step is managing my schedule better, and making sure I set aside time every week to focus on my business. How am I going to do this? Well, I'm here to share my "secrets" on how I plan to get shit done.

1. Getting my ass out of bed in the morning. I have a nasty habit of taking my work home with me. On any given weeknight you can find me with a computer on my lap, "Say Yes to the Dress" on in the background and a fiance who gets more attention from the dog than me. After multiple nights of 1 am bedtimes, that 7am alarm begins to be pretty meaningless to me. No more! I am making the commitment to shut down at night, and head to bed a reasonable hour (do I sound like my Grandma right now?). On the rare occasion when I actually can get in front of my computer by 7:30am, I find myself knocking out client invoices, balancing budgets, updating Facebook pages and writing blogs all before my first cup of coffee. By 10am I'm out the door and pretty much unreachable for the rest of the day. Having those 2 hours in the morning will help me focus and power through all that "admin" work that easily gets pushed off as the day goes on.

3. I will focus on one thing at a time. Oh those wonderful Google Chrome tabs. At anytime I will usually have Facebook, LinkedIn, 2 emails, Google and at least 3 other websites up. Because of all this noise, I find myself writing half a blog (I just did it with this one!) then jumping off to check updates, post to a client page or respond to a new email. Because I'm doing things so disjointed, it takes me twice as long to get each task done. Goodbye wonderful little tabs. I will miss you!

4. Ok Amy, just suck it up! This one is going to be the hardest. Sometimes I just don't feel like doing stuff. Too bad! We all have to do things we don't want to do sometimes. If I can stop myself from eating ice cream at night (and just so you know, I usually can at least 4 times a week, which is a big win for me) you can shut off Real Housewives for 30 minutes and write a blog post. This is what we have DVR for.

Ok so there you have it. They may not be rocket science, and they may not be as lofty as some time management "experts" may suggest, but these steps are probably (hopefully?) going to work for me. I'm not going to start using some kind of time management program, and I'm not going to realistically be able to "schedule in time to reply to emails". But I am going to do my best, and maybe this will inspire you to start making your own small changes to start getting more stuff done.

Chase woke up one day in 2004 tired of being alone. So, he set to work and read every book he could find, studied every teacher he could meet, and talked to every girl he could talk to to figure out dating. After four years, scads of lays, and many great girlfriends (plus plenty of failures along the way), he launched this website. He will teach you everything he knows about girls in one single program in his One Date System.

So as a mom of two beautiful little girls, a hubby to be best friend to, a house to clean and a blog to run, I need a system to organize my life. I am constantly trying new time management systems to see what sticks and what works well for me. And I encourage you to do the same!

I love using my post it note calendar but I know that many mommies would like a smaller version of it (more to come on that soon!). And I also enjoy using my Google calendar but feel confined to its layout at times. I need something a bit more flexible.

I plan to add a time tracker like the one below when I start my bullet journal journey. It will help me determine where I am spending most of my time. I may create one for a normal weekday and one for the weekend.

Okay, my beautiful Leuchtturm1917 dotted notebook has arrived (gorgeous picture below!). And I am starting to use it! I am already seeing the benefits of this simple, yet powerful new time management system. I will soon post a review of the notebook and my progress.

Time management may feel like a slippery, foreign concept, but it basically comes down to the tug of war between maximizing the present or maximizing the future. The siren song of the present will always call sweetly, so apply some intentional effort to keep those future goals front and center. Managing ADHD mostly involves helping the future to win over the present.

Overall, our findings provide academics, policymakers, and the general audience with better information to assess the value of time management. This information is all the more useful amid the growing doubts about the effectiveness of time management [38]. We elaborate on the contributions and implications of our findings in the discussion section.

Aeon and Aguinis suggested that time management influences performance, although the strength of that relationship may depend on how performance is defined [18]. Specifically, they proposed that time management may have a stronger impact on behaviors conducive to performance (e.g., motivation, proactiveness) compared to assessments of performance (e.g., supervisor rankings). For this reason, we distinguish between results- and behavior-based performance in our coding scheme, both in professional and academic settings. Furthermore, wellbeing indicators can be positive (e.g., life satisfaction) or negative (e.g., anxiety). We expect time management to influence these variables in opposite ways; it would thus make little sense to analyze them jointly. Accordingly, we differentiate between wellbeing (positive) and distress (negative).

In many cases, studies reported how variables correlated with an overall time management score. In some cases, however, studies reported only correlations with discrete time management subscales (e.g., short-range planning, attitudes toward time, use of time management tools), leaving out the overall effect. In such cases, we averaged out the effect sizes of the subscales to compute a summary effect [83]. This was necessary not only because meta-analyses admit only one effect size per study, but also because our focus is on time management as a whole rather than on subscales. Similarly, when we analyzed the link between time management and a high-level cluster of variables (e.g., overall wellbeing rather than specific variables such as life satisfaction), there were studies with more than one relevant outcome (e.g., a study that captured both life satisfaction and job satisfaction). Again, because meta-analyses allow for only one effect size (i.e., variable) per study, we used the mean of different variables to compute an overall effect sizes in studies that featured more than one outcome [83].

With one exception, we found no papers fitting our inclusion criteria before the mid-1980s. Publication trends also indicate an uptick in time management studies around the turn of the millennium, with an even higher number around the 2010s. This trend is consistent with the one Shipp and Cole identified, revealing a surge in time-related papers in organizational behavior around the end of the 1980s [87].

It is also interesting to note that the first modern time management books came out in the early 1970s, including the The Time Trap (1972), by Alec MacKenzie and How to Get Control of your Time and your Life (1973), by Alan Lakein. These books inspired early modern time management research [21, 58, 88]. It is thus very likely that the impetus for modern time management research came from popular practitioner manuals.

To assess potential bias in our sample of studies, we computed different estimates of publication bias (see Table 3). Overall, publication bias remains relatively low (see funnel plots in S1). Publication bias occurs when there is a bias against nonsignificant or even negative results because such results are seen as unsurprising and not counterintuitive. In this case, however, the fact that time management is generally expected to lead to positive outcomes offers an incentive to publish nonsignificant or negative results, which would be counterintuitive [89]. By the same token, the fact that some people feel that time management is ineffective [38] provides an incentive to publish papers that link time management with positive outcomes. In other words, opposite social expectations surrounding time management might reduce publication bias.

Interestingly, the link between time management and performance displays much less heterogeneity (see Q and I2 statistics in Table 4) than the link between time management and other outcomes (see tables below). The studies we summarize in Table 4 include both experimental and non-experimental designs; they also use different time management measures. As such, we can discount, to a certain extent, the effect of methodological diversity. We can perhaps explain the lower heterogeneity by the fact that when people hold a full-time job, they usually are at a relatively stable stage in life. In school, by contrast, a constellation of factors (e.g., financial stability and marital status, to name a few) conspire to affect time management outcomes. Furthermore, work contexts are a typically more closed system than life in general. For this reason, fewer factors stand to disrupt the link between time management and job performance than that between time management and, say, life satisfaction. Corroborating this, note how, in Table 6 below, the link between time management and job satisfaction (I2 = 58.70) is much less heterogeneous than the one between time management and life satisfaction (I2 = 95.45). 0852c4b9a8
