My Life OS in Obsidian: Part 4 - Planning
Dive into the art of mastering time management as we explore the deliberate process of arranging and planning your days, uncover the benefits of effective time management, and reveal powerful strategies like prioritization and time blocking. Join me on a journey to enhanced focus, reduced stress levels, and a better work-life balance. Let's create a roadmap to success together!
Welcome to the fourth part of the Life OS Series. In this article I'm going to describe the planning process.
Life OS Series (Click to Expand)
Now that we defined our values, set our goals and milestones and assigned projects and tasks to our milestones, it's time to plan our time to tackle the tasks and reach our goals!
Mastering Time Management
Introduction
Being able to manage your time well is essential for success in both your personal and professional life. Time is our most valuable resource. Being able to move quickly through activities is a skill that can have a big impact on one's productivity, stress levels, and general well-being in today's fast-paced world. We'll go over the fundamentals of time management, its advantages, and useful tips to help you organize your days efficiently in this blog post.
Understanding Time Management
The deliberate process of arranging and planning how to split your time between several tasks is known as time management. Its significance comes from the fact that it enables people to maximize every second, which boosts productivity and lowers stress.
The most common pitfalls are the lack of prioritization, overcommitment and procrastination.
Benefits of Effective Time Management
There are three main Benefits of effective time management:
- Increased Productivity: Enhanced productivity is directly correlated with efficient time management. People can do more in less time by setting priorities and concentrating on high-impact activities, which frees up time for leisure and personal development.
- Reduced Stress Levels: Lower stress levels are one of the many important advantages of becoming proficient at time management. People can feel in control of their workload and avoid the last-minute stress by making a clear strategy and managing their time well.
- Better Work-Life Balance: Well-managed time helps promote a more positive work-life balance. Individuals who successfully manage their personal and professional obligations not only advance in their careers but also have more time for their families, hobbies, and self-care.
Time Management Strategies
Prioritization
First we need to prioritize the tasks, I like to use the Eisenhower Matrix for this:
It's quite a simple method and works as follows:
- Urgent and Important tasks: These tasks have consequences and a deadline, e.g. the baby is crying -> Do them as the first thing
- Urgent and Not Important tasks: These tasks must get done, but don't require your specific skills, e.g. polishing slides for a presentation -> Delegate them
- Not Urgent and Importan tasks: These tasks are important for long-term success, but don't have a clear deadline, e.g. exercising -> Schedule them
- Not Urgent and Important tasks: These are distractions and unneccessary, e.g. scrolling Instagram -> Delete them
Time Blocking
Time blocking is a powerful technique that involves allocating specific blocks of time to different tasks, activities, or projects throughout the day. This method transforms your day into a well-structured schedule, helping you make the most out of your available time.
Time Blocking has many benefits:
- Enhanced Focus: It encourages to deeply focus on a single task in the designated time slot. This reduces our tendency to multitask, which is bad for our productivity as explained in my previous article.
- Improved Awareness: It creates a heightened awareness of how you spend your time. It gives you a better overview how long it takes you to finish tasks, which allows you to plan more accurately in the future.
- Reduced Procrastination: Knowing that you have dedicated time for each of your tasks, reduces the chance of procrastination and your commitment makes it more likely that you stay on track.
It is important that you protect your time blocks and don't let yourself get interrupted during these slots and focus completely on the task at hand. Also schedule regular breaks to refill your attention and focus. In addition, always leave time for the unexpected and don't get disencouraged if you need to adjust your schedule.
I use time blocking extensively by planning my whole day down to the minute in my calendar, including my "non-productive" time such as lunch, playing with my daughter or meeting friends.
Planning Routine
Weekly
I dedicate approx. one hour each Sunday evening to plan the week ahead. I take a look at my goals for the current and the next month (see below) to make sure that my goals for the week align with my long-term goals. Then I define clear, achievable goals for the upcoming week. Next I prioritize and schedule the tasks needed to reach these goals. Afterwards I make a rough plan for the week in my calendar by adding time blocks for the tasks.
Daily
Every morning I look at the tasks for the day from the weekly plan and check if my initial schedule created on Sunday needs some adjustment. In addition I schedule breaks and my leisure time for the day. During the day I regularly check my schedule and adjust if necessary. Then at the end of the day I quickly reflect on my day, see whether I achieved my set goals, celebrate my wins and reschedule the tasks not finished to the next day.
Regular Reviews
In addition I have regular planning session each month, quarter and year, where I prioritize and schedule the goals and milestones for the next period.
Obsidian Setup
Now let's create the different dashboards to create a view of our goals, milestones and projects for different time periods.
