Don’t let Time Management be Your Greatest Foe…
I written about my troubles with time over and over, it’s a reoccurring theme. Time shouldn’t be one’s enemy, but sometimes it does feel like it is. I know that I have a strong procrastination streak and thus far it hasn’t hurt me,but I want to be better with my time, even if it was just to make myself feel a bit more organized.
I also believe that this is a personal concept. Time, can feel like a weight for some and for others making schedules and being on top of their time management can feel cathartic. For me, it’s a tad bit more anxiety-filling. Bullet notebooks and super strict schedules make me itch. I don’t think “habit-tracking” is for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I do work better when I know things are due and I’m responsible, but not when that makes these things micromanage my time and effort. I like knowing there is a date and then finishing whatever, whenever I’m ready by that date. I cannot do the daily scheduled work, it just makes things tedious and increases the pressure I already put on myself.
Which is why I came up with a nice little Gantt Chart for the 5 main things that I want to learn for the first halfish of this year. I only included things that I can find a certification for to judge my progress by. I only have the certification exam scheduled for Linux+ though; I bought that last year and have a hard deadline of September to take this exam, though I scheduled to take it Mid-July.
I do sometime wonder if the lack of a coherent tracking system is somehow holding me back from like “my full potential”. Other times I think that this works; the way I work works for me. It will not work for everyone or most, but it works for me. Besides, do I really need one more thing to try to learn and stress over?
