Time Management Articles:
Conserving mental energy aids self-control
In one of the past articles on self-control titled “Pace yourself for improved performance,” I explained how energy-depleting mental tasks such as decision-making and multitasking make self-control even more difficult. This is due to the belief that we have a limited...
Stress is the enemy of self-control.
In the last three articles I have discussed creating an environment that supports self-control and strategies such as pacing yourself, managing energy, adequate sleep, regular exercise, and balanced work scheduling. But if you want to develop self-control and maintain...
Pace yourself for improved performance.

Principles of scheduling.
In the last article, I discussed how you can get the important things done in a timely manner by scheduling those tasks and activities directly into your planner and using the “To do” list section of your planner for the less important activities. In this article, I...
Choose carefully; you can’t do everything.
In my last article, “Planning your week 90 minutes at a time,” I suggested that blocking off 90-minute chunks of time in your planner a week ahead to work on your priority projects is a proactive way of ensuring they get done. This is in lieu of leaving them on a “To...
