More Time Management
The past day or so I've really been trying to be improving my use of a todo list. Org-mode has been very helpful and I'm trying to figure out how I can better use my iphone. I'd imagine a web app that writes to an org-mode file or something similar might do the trick, but that seems to be a long ways off.
One issue I'm trying to figure out is how to keep my todo list scheduled. It doesn't make sense to schedule everything or force some kind of due date, but having some way to set a deadline seems helpful. Also, when there are things that do have a deadline, it would be nice to schedule a time to take care of them. This past week I've had quite a few errands to take care of to get ready for tour and my todo list has been pretty helpful keeping track of things. My problem has been finding a simple way to make a note that I'm planning to take care of them on a specific day or time. I'm hoping something like agenda in org-mode might be helpful organizing my todo items and setting a few deadlines. It is obvious having the list is helpful and now I'd really like to move towards improving my understanding of what constitutes a healthy workload. Part of this learning process will most likely end up including a timecard of sorts to help define how much time I'm really spending on things. That is another part of better time management that will probably have to wait a bit, but I'll definitely put it on my todo list.
