Great Time-Management

Abdinasir is one of our new full stack developers we’re testing out working with, and during one of our chats, he told me his schedule had been super hectic, but rather than try to juggle everything, Abdinasir said he was able to set himself up for success by assessing what he needed and wanted to do, breaking his time down into chunks or blocks, and assigning those blocks to certain activities so he could focus completely and put his whole self into them, performing his best, and enjoying his time to the fullest.

During that time, I also had a hectic week near the end. I had to cancel a 6-7 hour schedule on Thursday to set up Ugeddit’s webinars, and then on Friday had 5 meetings about planning Agile epics, exploring grant opportunities for Ugeddit, and planning our first webinars with potential speakers and topics.

But then even though I had many things to do on Saturday, I decided to take a step back, and relax. I ignored my schedule’s exact timings and just let my mind settle before taking any action or even before thinking about anything specific, until my mind was fully settled on the top priority, and I saw the path ahead to completing it and where it leads.

I disregarded my schedule because I had my agenda in my head as my path, and just focused on my current step on that path, until the next, until the next, and I did everything extremely calmly and smoothly.It felt great, and I performed great.

The most surprising part was that after I finished everything, I checked the time, expecting I had finished late, but actually I had finished almost exactly on time (within 10 minutes of my schedule). This reminded me of the importance of what I’d been reminding myself the past month: settle my mind on what’s most important, plan the road towards it, and focus on the step just in front of me until it’s done.

That moment, and the rest of my day, felt awesome.

  1. At this time it seems like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform out there right now.
    (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

  2. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to
    your weblog when you could be giving us something
    enlightening to read?

  3. I’m really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout
    on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
    Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing,
    it’s rare to see a great blog like this one these days.

  6. Looking at a togel player? Begin to see the news in the site in the first place to get the practically
    all advanced information. There are correct estimations and how to play.

  7. Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking the time and
    actual effort to create a great article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.

  8. I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else experiencing problems with
    your website. It appears like some of the written text
    within your content are running off the screen. Can someone else
    please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
    This could be a issue with my browser because I’ve had
    this happen before. Many thanks
