Earl Nightingale must not have had ADHD otherwise he would recognize how counter to our nature that statement is! :)  I find that when I have a ton of stuff to do that is "mine", I can usually handle it pretty well.  However, if you throw in a couple things that are for someone else, the pressure becomes pretty intense and it almost works against my ability to accomplish it all. The idea of letting someone else down weighs heavy on me.

It's not really about time that I want to interact. But rather, the objects that mark time. I'm passionate about watches.

I have a saying: a person reveals themselves through the watch they wear.

Well, you've already increased your rating by 5 points 🤝

Aside from the brand, it doesn't matter in this case, the watch you're wearing perfectly defines your essence: elegance and assertiveness.

on normal week life, i gotta be extremely efficent with time management, get ready to wake up the kid and take care by a certain time, get dressed by an other, exit house by an other, it's all marked in my mind... the same when it's sleep time, he's little so gotta be at bed by a certain time... clock decides most of my life... however when it's work time it's different, i dont really have daily tasks, i have an amount of X days to end a task, most of the times they are even too many and i already know when im going to finish, so i manage time how i like... under time pressure i get nervous and tend to make mistakes or forgetting things because of the hurry, like when we were late and i forgot the train tickets and had 7 minutes to go back home and back to the station (i managed to do it tough)

Indeed Time management is extremely important  because time, once lost, can’t be regained. That’s why I always make an effort to use it wisely. Before I start my day, I take a moment to plan ahead I think about what needs to be done and what should be prioritized. This helps me stay organized, focused, and productive throughout the day. By doing so, I avoid wasting time and make sure that each moment counts.

Oh man, I am a time-management demon. I try to arrange takes to complete in the most ideal order of execution so that things flow smoothly. Even things like when sorting the laundry. The sorting is always done in the bedroom, because that is where most of the laundry will go away to, but when I am emptying the dryer, if there's a kitchen towel, it will stay in the dryer. On the way back to the living room, I'll grab the kitchen towel from the laundry and put it back in the kitchen draw. 

When I empty the dishwasher, I collect all the forks, all the knifes and spoons. Into the drying rack they go. But I put them all in the same compartment in the drying rack, so that when they go back in the draw, I grab one pile and put that pile back into the corresponding draw compartment. 

I use the Woolworths mobile app to make my shopping lists, becuase it gives me an aisle layout for every item on my list, and I waste no fkn time going from aisle to aisle. I did a $400 grocery shop yesterday, door to door, in 20 minutes, and the drive there and back is 6 mins. :P 

Spent more time chatting to the check out chick than I did wandering around the store. I fkn MOVE in the store, I'm on a mission. 

So uh, yeah. I manage my time and I try to get things done as efficiently as possible. 

It never fails to amaze me at the irony of many of your postings and how the subject matter seems to be about things I am currently dealing with...

My Prime Mover is parked in the next town over as the repair today robbed me of the time needed to make it home.

Hmm this is indeed an interesting question to reflect on. I am not sure how actually we should define productive vs unproductive. For me, the way I do it is to allocate a list of tasks that I intend to complete within the day (rather than pre-allocate a specific time period), and if I complete them early, I just get more free time to do whatever I want.

The topic you propose is interesting. Even more so given that I currently believe that procrastination is too prevalent.
In my case, I try to plan my time, although I admit that sometimes I waste too much time on things that aren't really productive, like watching TV shows, for example.
Under pressure, it's curious how I can perform better.
I still have a lot to improve to achieve more efficient use of time, but I'll try to improve!

I think I use my time well. I try not to do two things in one day. I often put off even one thing that I planned to do. I don't want to rush anywhere. I like to contemplate and linger more than to rush somewhere.

As a recovering procrastinator (you never fully recover!😆) I know how busy any given day can be because of necessary tasks that were kicked ahead to today. Definitely causes stress and tiring anxiety knowing the could have already been done and that there will always be extra things that will pop up on every given day. 

I try not to think about peak productivity vs not really productive time in a day. I have room to complete my checklist and do things like take time to walk around the garden and engage/curate on hive for example. A good balance. 

Plus, if tasks slip, it doesn’t jack the next day because I can just hunker down a little more and forego some of the naps and distractions. 

That being said, as a business owner, not getting those tasks done means lower customer retention which means more time invested in sales and prospecting. I am too lazy to get results only to let them wash away and have to put the effort in again to land a client. 

It is funny we juggle dozens of clients and don’t have a crm system to track it all. Just a spreadsheet checklist we always have open and checkboxes to make sure we get it all done.
