Time Management

Peter Drucker was arguably the most well-known management expert of the 20th century. The entire first section of his book, The Effective Executive, is devoted to how the executive must manage his time in order to be effective. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to get the most from their business.

Time Management is more than just managing our time; it is managing ourselves in relation to time. It’s the art of arranging, organizing, scheduling, and budgeting one’s time for the purpose of generating more effective work and productivity. And it is most essential for the person who owns his or her own business.

As with any system (including software), it comes with a price. That price is the time you must spend first learning and then maintaining the system. As Steve Pavlina says, “The essence of time management is the following:
1. Decide what to do;
2. Do it.
The general mindset of time management is far more important than any system. And the mindset of time management is simply that you value your time.”

Drucker agrees. He advocates stripping away or delegating tasks which are not essential to the process of managing, and reserving a large chunk of undisturbed time regularly for pure thinking and research. He claims it’s essential that the effective manager or executive divorce themselves from the practice of spending most of their time dealing with crises and putting out fires.
