Prompt: Lesson learned. What was the best thing you learned about yourself this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward?
I learned that it takes me A LOT longer to do things than I think it will/should. Realizing this has helped me plan my time better and also recognize that if it takes me longer to do things than I think it might, than probably other people need more time than I give them...How will I apply this lesson? Well, I've already started giving myself more time to finish things and also expecting others to need more time than I might like :)...And also that I will get the stuff done that I need to get done.....just not always on the schedule I want...cue Stones song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toiM1B6E2ww

I learned that I need to complement my ability to make things up as I go with practice in planning things more carefully.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, a friend of mine told me about "the pomodoro technique" last week. I had to google it, but for you, a direct link where you can download the book for free: http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/products.html
It is basically a time-management strategy. Nothing especially novel, but after using it more or less for two days, it has made a huge difference in my productivity.
Best wishes for 2011!
