I have been looking but can’t find anyone in academia who is studying time management. I have a theory as to why that is, in two parts.
Firstly, I think that time management, as a personal practice, does not neatly fit into any single discipline. Is it Industrial Engineering? Operations Research? Management Science? […]

Yeah, I know.
I am scouting around for a better name to use, in time to use it in the manifesto (if the
Changethis.com proposal gets accepted).
Let me know your ideas, please.

I was kind of interested in the following post by Ben Yoskovitz, in which

“Dear reader”,
Thanks for the kind words… they are much appreciated.
I can tell by your domain name that we are already of like mind!

I really admire
Steve Pavlina’s blog for the quality and range of ideas that he is able to create and articulate. His
post on creating a personal productivity scaffold is no exception:
He is essentially creating a way of
Reviewing and
Scheduling that includes a slot in the morning to plan, and a slot in […]

Just curious, but does anyone know of a place online where people discuss how Microsoft Outlook can be used, and improved?
Let me know!
