Fragmentos

A few days ago while I was surfing the Internet, I suddenly reach up to an article called “Defragment your Day” which caught my attention.

Reading it carefully, the base idea is to group the different activities of the day into slots of the same type rather than spreading them randomly –in a chaotic way- all through the day calendar.

It seems to be a very good idea to implement, but I still have some concerns on it, ‘cause it tends to assume the people work at least 3 hs at night after 10PM… what¡¡?? C’mon, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life working from 10pm to 1am every day (plus my normal office hours). Do you?

Ok, but let’s give it credit and assume this is a schema for a very high workload period, like a cutover, an implementation or an annual financial close, etc. which may demand an extra effort from you. So, I’ll try avoiding that 3hours period whenever I can, leaving it to emergency/critical situations. Make sense? I hope so.

Assuming that, it seems to be pretty good. You know what? I’ll try putting it in practice in my day-to-day basis and figure out how it works, which problems I face. Additionally I’ll post here my experience on this.
By the way, the original article was written by Kevin Milden for New Leaders. You can find it following this link: http://newleaders.com/discussions/369-defragment-your-day
