Wishful Thinking: Time Management

“Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work.”
Gustave Flaubert

Este fin de semana estuve leyendo un articulo que llevaba semanas en mi escritorio sobre “Time Management.” Y si leen el primer parafo y oración me entenderan porque termine de leer el PDF:

So you start the day full of enthusiasm. You’re excited about a new piece of creative work and
itching to put your ideas into action. Firing up your computer, the familiar stream of e-mails pours
into your inbox, burying the ones you didn’t get round to replying to yesterday. Scanning through
the list, your heart sinks – two of them look as though they require urgent action. You hit ‘reply’
and start typing a response to one of them… 20 minutes later you ‘come round’ and realise
you’ve got sucked into the e-mail zone and have been sidetracked by interesting links sent by
friends, as well as writing replies about issues that aren’t a priority for you. You minimize the email
window and get back to your project…
After 15 minutes you’re really enjoying yourself, getting into your creative flow – when the phone
rings. Somebody wants something from you…

Llegue a la inevitable conclusion de que me tengo que levantar (mucho) mas temprano. En los siguientes dias ire “posteando” mas articulos que e leido por ahi sobre “time management” y “creative workflow.” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, el psicologo le a dado en el clavo a todo (libro: Flow y altres).

Bueno os invito a que se descarguen el PDF por un tio que lleva el blog Wishful Thinking, Mark McGuinness (como la chela) esta rapido de leer:   Creative Time
