Okay guys, real talk. I need advice, personal experience and ideas.
(Also, if anyone comes in here to joke about my istj-tendencies, please get in line; the mocking Masilein in her ignorance and obvious oblivion will have to happen at a later time.)
What time management techniques do you use?
Do you like them? What do you use them for?
Would you recommend it?
What makes it a good technique for the purpose your use it for?
I'm kind of looking for stuff that works generally in all life instances, but most importantly for working on projects (like writing papers and such) as well as just general house admin.
Currently I'm working with some general "do this shit today" to-do thing. I just add tasks whenever I need them and move them around to when I will be able to finish them. That means I have a list of stuff I plan on doing said day and then just tick it off. But it often leads to me powering through major projects and then going at it for 6hours + without a break and occasionally forgetting about things like food (not really that fun in the long run). So I'm wondering if for those things, I should get a time management technique set up?
I've heard that many people like and work well with the pomodoro technique (or ones similar in concept to this one), but I seriously struggle with a) taking breaks to begin with (I just hate leaving things "unfinished"
and b) taking the work back up once I started on a break (usually once I add an intervall, that often means I won't work on that project for well over a week anymore, which really sucks for things that need to get done within a week and I don't have the time to power through in one go).
I'm basically my own limitation to all of this and was kinda hoping someone might have a few ideas on what to try. I'm actually willing to try out new techniques and setups to just get a go on this and make me stress out less over deadlines.
