Helpful content, Mike. I divide my day into 4 sections: 5am to 7am- Education/Self Improvement and Day planning; 7am to 10am - What's most pressing (MIT); 10am to Noon - Pressing but not urgent; after Lunch - Important but not urgent. I'm also enough of a realist and recognize that not urgent is not always in my control. I guess I look at it as a combination of various methods I have seen and used over the year.

Hank, thank you. Always stick with a system that works for you. I divide my day into 3: 5am - 9am for small but important tasks as well as the usual early morning stuff. 9am to 12:30 for the most important things. 1:30 -6pm for secondary stuff. So, not that different in principle!

Only 5? LOL! I've got 22 active projects... one of which has 42 separate locations. If I only had 5 I'd take a nap!

For me the problem is context switching between projects, it takes a lot of time and mental energy to switch between several complicated programming projects.
@Onlinepmcourses Жыл бұрын
That's why we should not switch too often. At best, switching is inefficient. At worst, it causes fatigue and errors. The more complex the projects, the stronger the arguments become for doing one at a time.

@@Onlinepmcourses I can do one at a time, but I am a freelancer and need to make money, I can't do 1 project at a time but more like 3-4. Also I am not a project manager, I spend most of my focus and mental energy on doing the projects which makes it tough to then have focus energy left for project management and there is always delays that destroy my schedule.

@@robertmazurowski5974 I also have the same problem. Delays in one project, destroys the whole planning.. and then i fall back to just working on the project with the customer who screams the loudest.. not good, i know.. i have not found a good solution yet.. doing it for 10 years now :/
