“Most people who attempt to learn a new time management system fail.”
It’s a problem in what we think time management IS.
This “system we never knew we had” is comprised of habits, practices and rituals that have been practiced over the years and are now built into our neuro-muscular systems. In this sense, we are more like smokers trying to quit some dangerous behaviors, than we are mathematicians learning some brand new techniques.
But time management gurus don’t tell you that changing the habits that make up your current time management system is just as challenging. They don’t get you to appreciate what you are up against as you try to reverse decades of practice, reinforced by some positive results that convinced your subconscious that you had this time management thing beaten.
You may still be failing to implement THEIR system the way it “should” be done, but you’ll be 100% effective at upgrading your own.
