Comments on: Upgrade, Don’t Replace Your Time Management System http://www.2time-sys.com/2009/10/06/upgrade-dont-replace-your-time-management-system/ The World's Best Resource for Time Management 2.0 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:44:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: fwade_admin http://www.2time-sys.com/2009/10/06/upgrade-dont-replace-your-time-management-system/#comment-10814 fwade_admin Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:01:10 +0000 http://www.2time-sys.com/2009/10/06/upgrade-dont-replace-your-time-management-system/#comment-10814 That's a good point. In another post I talk about the possibility of "downgrading" -- which is something that someone might do when they retire, take a sabbatical, get ill, etc. In 2Time terms, it's easy to see someone going from a Green Belt to Orange Belt (see the Articles describing the practices at each level.) I think that making a system simpler could also be an upgrade, depending on how it's done! But your point is well-taken. That’s a good point.

Everybody doing a certain employed or entrepreneurial job is definitely using some sort of time management, if they call it time management or not. So I am too convinced that upgrading, what already exists, is the better and more realistic idea, then learning and implementing a totally new system. However, DOWNGRADING from systems in use may also be an improvement and upgrade of usability. This is a point of view, I did not find published so far. My experience from many years of different professions is: getting done more things by using less (time management) stuff.
