Am I a bit excited? It’s the first time that I have found another website that shares Time Management 2.0 principles. It’s called Pink Shoe Power.
The authors of the site, Valerie McDougall and Jayne Jennings, describe four time management styles that women might find themselves following, and based their thinking on the following line of thinking:
Have you found you’ve spent your time and money trying different time management tools or strategies before that just didn’t work for you? Either because they seemed too hard to keep doing, didn’t feel right or didn’t give you the results you were wanting?
If you’re like most people you’ll be nodding right now! (Can I see you nodding?)
It’s not your fault….
You don’t expect all clothing to fit you and look good…so why should we expect the same of time management tools and strategies?
Many time management systems are flawed for one key reason…they assume that the approach they prescribe is right for everyone, They’re based on the false assumption that with equal effort, everyone will be able to achieve similar outcomes.
THE PROBLEM is one size doesn’t fit all—we are all individuals with different likes and dislikes and importantly, we learn and do things differently. Some people are visual, others kinesthetic, auditory, structural, or creative…. So it’s no surprise that the way you approach time management is NOT the same as everyone else’s.
That’s from the page describing their book by the same name.
While I haven’t read the book I applaud their thinking and once again can only wonder why there aren’t hundreds of sites based on this seemingly obvious premise? I take it for granted here at 2Time Labs, but this is the only site I have found that clearly and openly shares that premise.
Maybe I’m wrong, but if not, would anyone care to venture a guess?
