Off On One Again: Time Management

Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

About Me

Name: Jonathan

Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

Time Management

The following are the keys to time management:

Use your starter motor
Make routine your servant
Every yes is a no to something else
Distant elephants
Salami
The curse of perfection
Once past the desk
Appointments need to end as well as start
Make time to plan

Jonathan said...: Its from a book called "Manage Your Mind" which we had then sold. Its a rather good set of instructions which would take rather more time to explain that I have here and now. I have it pinned up in my office and every third person talks about it with me. In that way, its the worst bit of time management that I know...; June 03, 2005

Echoes of Hendreds school maths lessons...please, Jonathan, explain decimals to me...; June 04, 2005
Jonathan said...: Fairly generic self-halp book, but actually quite good if you cut through the bollocks...; June 05, 2005
