The Task List and Schedule: The Basic Tools of Time Management

A lot of people I know and come into contact with on a daily basis have no form of time management system. For them, the age old system of maintaining a hazy list of things to do in their head and trying to complete the list as best they can is the only way to it. While this might work for someone's slow, lazy day, it can become a dangerous, time wasting behavior when things really need done. Trying to recall everything that needs done every day and re-remembering what has already been done takes a lot of unnecessary time! It's hard to remember everything about as many as 20 different things you need to do. Do you remember exactly what you were doing five, ten, or twenty hours ago? Can you list off everything you've gotten don in the last ten hours? It's tough! Even if you have a strong hold on that information, you're mind will still spend precious hours of time subconsciously wrestling with the list, going over it time and time again, making sure you know what has and hasn't been done, trying to think of every little thing that needs to be done that you might have forgotten, or everything little thing that you thought of before but have now forgotten, or…!

How can you concentrate and get anything done with THAT going on in your head?

Introduction

Hi! My name is Cameron, and I am an 18 year old college student at Colorado State University in my second year. I'm majoring in Computer Engineering and minoring in Business Administration.

I started this blog due to one of my biggest interests: entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is what I'd like to do for the rest of my life by starting business ventures directly from my interests, skills, ideas, thoughts, etc. Two of my biggest strengths in life are organization and management - two things I enjoy very much and two things I have learned a lot about in my own personal experimentation and education. For me, these are two cornerstones of any person's life, no matter what they do with their lives; if everything in your life is organized and you actively manage all aspects of your life, you will have a strong basis on which to do anything you please.

This blog is the start of my first serious business venture - an organizational and management consulting business. I want to teach and help people and businesses organize and manage themselves so they can do everything else in their lives at the highest level possible. The point of this blog is to collect my knowledge and skills, develop further knowledge and skills, research the market regarding organization and management, and develop and test new products. By visiting this blog, you are essentially watching a complete business venture form, but at the same time you are also in the position to learn about and access tons of great free information on the subject. I hope you find the content I publish interesting, insightful, and valuable to your life, and feel free to contact me! I would love to hear anything you have to say.
