The Time Management Matrix is a way of classifying the tasks and errands that come into our daily life. I’ll try to cover this book a little more later, but for now I want to introduce his Time Management Matrix. In his book, The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, Stephen talks about what he witnessed in superstar individuals and businesses in how they think, act and manage their time. The one significant thing which has helped me is to manage my tasks in what is known as a Time Management Matrix, devised by the excellent Stephen R Covey. Even now, I am writing this on a Sunday afternoon, so I can work flexibly around my free time, my family time, and my delivery time. It is as much an art as a science for me. Planning and managing your time around these pressures is tough. There is a growing pressure to try and reverse the ‘always on’ culture, but it’s practically difficult. Constant notifications, email bombardment and being online 24/7 means you can easily become distracted. The modern working world is a very intense place. Bit odd for a blog on an accountant’s site? Read on to see why I’m passionate about this. I want to talk about time and time management.
