Introduction

Time management is a decades old concept that has been taught in many different flavors by many different experts.  It is also a topic taught by hundreds of organizations to their employees.   Yet this continues to be one of the most challenged areas in people’s lives.  How can something so well taught and so common be so misapplied?

Many business professionals have significant challenges managing their time in an extremely busy and distraction filled world.    Not only do they manage a work calendar, they often have family calendars as well.  Family obligations may often occur during business hours or business obligations may occur during evening, non-traditional work hours. 

Finding a system that works for you is essential to managing your schedule and ensuring all priorities, both professional and personal, are addressed.

I decided recently to take my own life as a case study into how challenging it can be to implement a time management system.  I am hoping my challenges and lessons learned can be applied by others in shortening the learning curve to successful time management.

I am a married man with 3 children.  I am also an IT professional who travels often for my job.  In fact, every billable hour I have works for 2 years has been worked in the road.
