I may have missed any articles or tools where you have already explored these ideas. I have not read through all your other posts on the blog. At least in theory, the results of this analysis should strongly motivate one to change any bad habits like procrastination, and to do any course-correction in the plans. It might help if one could use a coding method to identify which tasks tie to those goals, so that at the end of a week or month, one can measure what proportion of their productive time have they spent on pursuing those goals. I would like to hear about any pros and cons of this approach.Īlso, another generic idea that I have not fully explored myself-įor people who have done their “Life Goals” exercise, there is likely to be a prioritized list of Long-term, Medium-term, and Short-term goals. In the task-list, to differentiate tasks that are already scheduled from those that are yet to be scheduled, I again use circling. I enter them into the schedule grid, and circle them, but only when I finish them.Ħ. Also, sometimes I have some sundry tasks listed that I do not schedule at the beginning of the day. at the end of the day, all circled numbers in the schedule grid are actuals.ĥ. When another emergent task takes precedence, put the number of the new task in a circle and strike-off the original number (and shift it to a new time-slot)Ĥ. When you actually complete a task on schedule, circle it.ģ. When you plan your schedule, put only the numbers of tasks in the schedule grid.Ģ. Temporarily, I am trying the following approach-ġ. Now, while I will continue to work on it, I also think it will help if the tool lets me record both the “plan” and “actuals” in the schedule. The situation gets much worse after mid-day when the motivation and energy levels also go down to complicate matters further. I have been using the ETP for 3 weeks now, and I so far, I have not fared very well in sticking to the schedule.ĭistractions-both important and unimportant-result in large deviations from the plan. I like the new layout-where you logically start your day at the top-left by listing out the important tasks. Thanks for sharing the ETP in the updated layout.

The 2009 edition is available now in two versions: the old “free” version with the Time Scheduling on the right side, and as a special treat I’m providing a variation of the 2007-2008 Preprinted Edition design. The ETP provides space for noting down the unexpected. Unlike other planning sheets which merely block out time and leaves you to hope for the best, the ETP borrows some of the task planning methodology from the Task Progress Tracker to reinforce one idea: it’s hard to get anything done on purpose when there are so many distractions.

The Emergent Task Planner (or ETP) is a Daily Planning Sheet that provides several means for visualizing the time you have available so you can get some work done.
