Just been reading through an e-book “Time Mgmt for Creative People” By Mark McGuiness - Wishful Thinking

It is based on the premise that you must
“Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work.”
Gustave Flaubert

The E- Book covers how to:

- Prioritise work that is important not urgent
- Ring fence your most creative time (mine is the night or while jogging in the fresh air)
-Avoid the ‘Sisyphus effect’ ( result of endless to-do lists, which in turn are created by a constant stream of incoming demands.. ) of endless to-do lists. A quote - “We start the day full of enthusiasm, but by the end of it, we’ve
taken on so many new commitments that the to-do list is longer than when we started.”
-Get things done by putting them off till tomorrow (yes!)
-Get things off your mind
-Review your commitments
And provides some resources to help you get things done.
