sitemaster 8.0 Start with a Schedule
The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities – Stephen Covey
A schedule is a plan for carrying out a process or procedure, giving lists of intended events and times. In other words, it is a statement of activity against time from start of a process to its finish. It is important to break your activities into units of timelines and be diligent to stick with them. While a plan seeks to ask 'what', a schedule is about 'when'.
As a starter, your journey from start to finish is a marathon. A marathon is a long stretch that cannot be covered in a few seconds, hence the need to segment it into components or phases. The phases are then assigned clear time frames for systematic execution.
You must determine key phases of your project and evolve strategies and timelines for achieving them. For the tourist, he knows his journey has dissimilar stretch of topography. In drawing his schedule, he must consider the curves and bends, hills and valleys, murky and sandy landscapes amongst others.
A schedule is not just a document, it is a guide. It is a dedicated segment of your time versus a bit of that project, such that at the conclusion of the allotted time, a full picture of the project is in sight. The schedule therefore has to be realistic and implementable.
Have a schedule for each day, week and month and see how much you will achieve or how much time you have at your disposal. As a student, you need a schedule aside your class time table, as a business man, you need a schedule around your customers, partners, personal activities and business responsibilities. The greatest ever time management strategy is to have a schedule and to run on it
In setting out a schedule, you must be mindful of extremes of over and under-scheduling. The need to strike a balance between the extremes is important so that you don't waste precious time on the one hand or waste valuable resources on the other hand. Under-scheduling means doing little with much time. In this case, your time suffers. Over-scheduling on the other hand means attempting to do too much in little time. This leads to stress and strain on resources and eventually on you. This usually leads to breaking point not end point.
A schedule keeps you on track and in check. It enables you maximize both time and resources and gets you to your destination in the best possible time
