The skill of Time Management

Amanda Morgan - Tuesday, May 25, 2010

It would be hard to find a person who hasn’t read a book or taken a workshop on time management, or at the very least thought about time management. Everyone is interested in learning to use their time more wisely. However, the traditional time management wisdom seems to work well for about half the people, while others listen or read about planning, prioritising, scheduling, and doing, and then turn back to their normal way of doing things: notes tacked to every available surface, piles of paper everywhere, and several projects in the air at any given time.  These two kinds of people are sometimes labeled left brain and right brain.

Strongly left-brained people see things as black and white. For them, time flows in monochromic order: they do one thing and then they go on to another.   More right-brained people have the ability to see options at every turn. For them, things are rarely black and white, and their time is polychromic, with many things happening simultaneously. They can not only talk and drive a car at the same time; they can watch TV and read.

 

Do you already know which type you are?
