The first problem that arises when scheduling tasks on a daily basis is that is falling in the culture of emergency, it is considering only the short term, when what we should consider first is the long term. And from there, just from there, the middle and then the short term.

Most people tend to rely on either a daily schedule on a piece of paper, a notebook, a normal schedule, calendar, digital or electronic form. I was once with a client who was taking a coaching program to increase their personal productivity. From our first meeting my client was always his agenda in hand and pen or pencil handy. Sometimes noting dates and other just memorized.

How backwards? or do Back to the Front?
One day I asked my client if I could share with me and organize their activities. My client laughed and said, “Look at this almost all empty.” Although my client was living with a lot of stress because all the time was a function of pressing and constantly spent putting out fires.

It was clear that by dedicating most of his time and energy to my urgent it was difficult to do other activities which could not be organized or medium to long term could only do things at the moment. This had a chilling effect on their productivity. Very low!!

Am I saying that we set back?. Yes, indeed.

I know it will seem strange, but I’m sure so do you. For example, imagine that your plane leaves at a specific time. What time did you leave your office or home?. What time you’re thinking you have to show up at the airport counter, how long it takes the taxi from your office, how to get the cab … and you may add a few minutes outside in case.

What have you done? Program to atrĂ¡s.Lo same must be done to tackle a project.
When would you like to have it done?
How long do you foresee for each phase?

That means starting with an annual plan, or at least, quarterly, and in rare cases, monthly. From there you can spend, but not before the newspaper. Commitments require is not bad in the day, but must be preceded by an overview. The year appears to be essential for those who have responsibilities. And a second level, monthly or weekly, desirable to keep the overview.
