There has been a lot of talk about time management lately.
Time management is a struggle for just about everyone in today's fast-paced world. On average, we receive at least 250 inputs a day, including emails, voice mails, and visits from co-workers and clients. Of course that figure doesn't include the thousands of ideas that go through our minds each day. How can we manage all of these details?
I would like to suggest that when learning about time management carefully select someone whose strategy is efficient and effective.
When you want to learn something, find some one who learned it quickly and easily, then do it his/her way, using his/her system of organizing information. when you attempt to learn things in a way that does not work then you stay confused or worse, incompetent. when you learn a way that does work, confusion gives way understanding in a predictable and therefore repeatable process.
I present you with 2 amazing people in the time management field, David Allen and Jason Womack.
I hope you will find value in these interviews.
