9 Ways to Slice and Dice Time, For Time Management

By André Nosalsky | Published: July 3, 2010

Thinking about all aspects of time and project management, one of the questions that comes up is how to slice and dice time, projects and goals. Depending on different philosophies, different methods are recommended. I tried to make a list of as many as I could. Here is what I came up with. I’ll cover them in detail in the future, but for now, if you can add to the list, please do so:

- Life Areas
- Goals
- Projects
- Milestones
- Contexts
- Priorities
- Tasks
- Energy Levels
- Repetitiveness

Foursquare Can Help People Remember Where You Work

By André Nosalsky | Published: July 2, 2010

People have habits and regular jobs. Once I started using Foursquare, which seems like ages ago, I saw that people would regularly sign into the same place. And most often it was their work place that they would check into.

This seems like an insignificant thing, but what I’ve noticed is now I remember the places where my acquaintances work (most friends I already know).

How is this useful?

Say you switched jobs and want to get the word out; one subtle way to do so is to check into your place of work on Foursquare every day. And to increase the reach, check the box to auto publish to Twitter.
