The Four Types of Professional Time

There are four types of professional time: management, creation, consumption, and ideation. Management time involves activities such as meetings, calls, and email processing, while creation time focuses on tasks like writing and building. Consumption time, often overlooked, is devoted to reading and studying, providing new ideas for creation. Ideation time, also often overlooked, involves brainstorming and self-reflection, allowing for nonlinear thinking. Understanding the balance between these types of time is crucial for optimizing productivity.
