I’m with you totally regarding time management at schools – you said it much more eloquently than me!

One of the things I help people to balance and manage is the inter-connections between areas – how a change in one area filters through and has an impact on the others.

You mention “more focus, less tasks, and to manage my time more effectively” – Great examples because do you see how changing something in one of these would automatically lead to changes in the other two?

I am curious to read the article about how it affects our memory, I’m sure it does.

I don’t agree with what you wrote about schools. Schools impose time frames on kids, and don’t teach or model how to do it – I think we leave schools with very little skills in this area..

Great post with alot of food for thought.Cheers!

Thanks so much for dropping by.

Time management and focused enthusiasm are definitely useful skills to master!

With time management, we kind of are introduced to this at school with scheduled lessons – but I wonder if it’s because there’s not a huge emphasis placed on linking time management with personal goals that kids leave school not realising how valuable a skill it is to keep up.

I see myself as a poor multi-tasker, so I ensure that I leave enough time to complete what needs to be done, in order. But as you point out in the post, it’s also about stopping our natural desire to “dive in” and get things moving.

Some great points here – Thanks for sharing them with us.
