Time management is less important than energy management. Spend your best energy on your most important work, and everything else will follow.
The key isn’t to have some huge long-term plan but to rather know the next vital few things you need to do to hit the goal you want to accomplish.
- Don’t base your day on what you didn’t get done in the past. Base it on what you want to accomplish now, and what will have the biggest impact now.
- Set a weekly reflection for what went well, what didn’t, what you got done, and what you want to do in the future.
- Taking action is the best cure for analysis paralysis.
