The document discusses time management and how people spend their time. It argues that planning is key to managing time effectively and controlling how time is spent. It separates tasks into urgent/important and important/not urgent categories and suggests high performing organizations spend most of their time on important tasks, while typical organizations spend more time on urgent tasks. Effective time management requires aligning how time is spent with goals and values through planning each day and week.

This is a good way to track “to-do’s” with little stress and allows us to have the go-with-the-flow flexibility Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment: You cant fake experience

23. To Do Lists The flip side of this idea is that it offers us no real structure and things tend to fall through the cracks. Sometimes important commitments can be forgotten or ignored. We may feel stress free but we will probably get very little accomplished.

24. Planning and Preparation Time Management This type of management is successful in the area of tracking commitments and appointments . We can get much more accomplished through our goals and planning. We refer to this as a “plan your work - work your plan” concept.

They can also assess their values and turn them into goals and actions. Because they manage and control their planning, people feel it and it gives structure to their lives.
