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
I’ve started to work on my own time and project managmenet software. Can’t say much about it now, except that my goal is to make it fit me, and what I want out of the software. More to come later.
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.
