The old time management methods give
too great an emphasis to working life and too little emphasis to a balanced
life with family and to restorative activity (e.g. recreation). The old
methods can lead you to the delusion that you are in control of your life
when in reality you are not. Purpose, principles and values are not necessarily
used to align weekly and daily priorities. The old approach to prioritizing
tends to lead to crisis management and is based more on urgency than on
what is vital to the mission of the business. Too often it takes the people
and relationships out of the equation and makes them objects and barriers
rather than allies. Above all, it too often leads to a guilt trip which
in turn leads to abandonment of the time management effort. In a nutshell,
the old time management adds to stress; not reduce it. |
