Time Management Style
I spent the entire day working on my website to push out a photography promo. I don’t mean part of the day, or majority of the day. I mean the entire day. I didn’t have time to go to the bank like I originally planned. I forgot about the laundry I was supposed to finish. I didn’t have time to go grocery shopping. I even forgot to eat dinner. I completely lost track of time.
I’m realizing now that my particular style of time management is to work on one big project at a time. I don’t seem to do well when there are tons of little tasks to do, unless those tasks are all in sequential order. Random tasks will completely throw me off.
I guess I could see this as a down side considering that multitasking gets such high praise. However, I’ve read that multitasking actually reduces the quality of work performed. Texting and driving is just one example.
Maybe I should try to use this to my advantage. That is, I should schedule large chunks of time for projects rather than trying to squeeze everything in all at once. It may mean I have to give up certain projects, or tasks. Again, that could be a good thing. I’d rather get a few things done really well than barely getting anything done at all.
Today, I’m grateful I launched my photography promo.
