re: Finding Time
Five kids? That’s just amazing, Laura. In the south, we’d simply say “Bless!”
And the time certainly flies.
I timebox and use planning windows at work all the time. But at home for personal goals and projects, I find lists on stickies can be effective. For longer term and stretch objectives, I put lists in my iPhone Notes app. Basically you just work your way down, and star (**) the important stuff. Sometimes I’ll put a weekday or a date next to items. Or I might but em for email, ph for making a phone call, etc.
But there are dangers: too many lists, lists of lists, lost lists. I suppose no system is fool proof.
Do you have any criteria to choose timebox/window planning vs. lists? Can the systems combine?
Always hoping to learn a little more.
Time being scarce and all :)
