Deep dives
The importance of vision and values in time management
In this podcast episode, Anna Deerman-Cornick, a time management coach, emphasizes the significance of starting with a clear vision for our lives. She emphasizes the importance of defining our core values and aligning our time management with them. By understanding our vision and values, we can make better decisions and prioritize our time more effectively.
Prioritizing activities as boulders, big rocks, and pebbles
Anna introduces a framework for prioritizing activities into three categories: boulders, big rocks, and pebbles. Boulders are important but not urgent activities that contribute to personal growth and well-being. Big rocks are both urgent and important, representing key tasks or projects. Pebbles are less important and less urgent, encompassing smaller, everyday tasks. By differentiating priorities, we can make more intentional choices about how we allocate our time.
The power of time blocking
Anna highlights time blocking as a key strategy for effective time management. Time blocking involves assigning blocks of time on the calendar for specific activities. By visually representing our tasks and commitments, we can create realistic to-do lists and ensure that important activities receive dedicated time and attention. Time blocking also helps us avoid overwhelm and manage our energy more efficiently.
The transformative impact of weekly planning sessions
Anna emphasizes the importance of weekly planning sessions as a foundation for effective time management. These sessions provide the opportunity to review commitments, set priorities, and anticipate challenges or transitions in the week ahead. By proactively planning meals, organizing transitions, and aligning schedules with partners or family members, we can enhance productivity and reduce stress throughout the week.
