h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'd like to resolve to spend more time writing entries, more time reading medical textbooks, more time cooking decent meals, more time cleaning and tidying the flat, more time being a hopeless romantic, and more time asleep. I doubt all of the above can be gained by reducing the amount of time I spend staring into space.

Anyone happen to have a one-way ticket to Lamuella? Failing that, any advice on how to better manage time?

Advice on time management? I studied time management for a year as part of my university final year project. It's quite an interesting subject if you're into that kind of thing.
Message me if you want any hints in any particular detail, but the best points I found:
Time management strategies work differently for each person. What's good for one isn't good for everyone.
Time management strategies are like fairies. They don't work if you don't REALLY believe in them.
Write everything you need to do in a day down on a piece of paper (a physical thing you can see and feel, not a notepad document, Word file etc) and make sure you do it. Try to put off leisure activities until you've cleared the list.
If something takes less than 5 minutes to do, just do it. Don't bother to write it down, but if you think of another 5 minute job, write that down before starting. It's amazing how hanging out your laundry makes you forget to buy milk.

Biocorp, some good advice there.

Too true...

Too true, as well, about writing to-do lists in electrons...takes to much inititive -- and time at the computer -- very bad, if you tend to get lost in there.
