I've been through them all. Psychology magazine articles. Blog posts across the Net. Even the latest books in the store.

No. In fact, nothing is new in Time Management. And almost nothing has been new for years. Instead, I finally realized that I was falling into the same trap of putting a new spin on old time management techniques. And it made me feel sick to my stomach to think that I was struggling just like the next man to really get to grips with my time.

My natural time management skill was dormant, but I knew it was there because I remembered it from my early days. By that I mean my childhood. Children possess enough passion and enough unflinching desire to get what they want, that they simply go out and do it.

Now that's time management. And they never had to read Brian Tracy, David Allen, or... me.

But I was determined to continue evolving my work beyond today's standard and, whilst not perhaps becoming child like again, certainly reestablish my former youths passion, with my hard learned wisdom. I was an author after all. A personal organization expert. And I had conducted a unique 30 days self exposure time management seminar with great success. I was going to get to the bottom, the very roots of existing time management techniques, and I believe that will let me find something truly new.

My notes are being compiled and I will give the results to my time management subscribers. It's been a couple years now that I begun teaching how prioritizing by importance was destined to failure, despite being a wildly popular time management technique.

You'll see articles on time management telling you to prioritize by the ABCDE method. A's are of course top priorities, the most important things... things you should do first. Then come the B's and C's. Trouble is, there are always some A's, so when will you ever get any B's done? Let alone the C's.

The D's are to delegate. And the E's are to eliminate (to just decide not to do the thing because it's so insignificant).

But for us mere mortals, common people with personal lives, interests, projects, etc that we want to manage our time on. What can we do? And for me personally (despite being mortal I confess), I can not settle for anything less than optimal time management. There's just too much to do in this beautiful modern world to let time slip through my fingers.

I only want to tell you this one single thing for this article today. Time Management Techniques are broken and obsolete. Prioritizing by Importance does not work. And so they try to include Prioritizing by Urgency. Well what a mess, a fray and a pickle would they expect us to live if we judged what we should do next according to what was most pressing in our lives.

There is still some good in time management training of course, but just not very much. I like the work of David Allen. He taught me to do something immediately if I judged it can be done in 2 minutes or less.

Brian Tracy taught me to 'eat that frog' which was great. Which is the idea to focus on the thing you want to do least, get it done, then move on to easier things.

But still there is a lot missing. And I'm looking for it now amongst all my past notes of time management systems picked up over the past 8 years.

My recommendation to you is to open your mind to new possibilities of time management, and not get too caught up in the fiddly attempts at time management techniques offered by today's published books and courses.
