It isn't about time, it's about action

I thought the key was to manage time, but the funny thing is you can't. Time is constant and irreversible, it plods ever onward regardless of what we do. You cannot manage five minutes into six. The key is action, or rather to manage the action, the activity, that you are doing in time. Gettting control of the tasks at hand and ensuring there is time set aside to do them. I have also learned that if it's a small job, you can do it now and now not waste the energy to find it on a list and think abot it again. This is for really small jobs that can be completed in two minutes or less.
For me this is relatively new, but I think it's working. I am being more productive when I need to be. I can't take the credit for this epiphany I learned it from Getting Things Done, which might turn out to be a great book for me to keep track of multiple roles and multiple projects.
