The Short-Time Guessing Game: Set the timer for two minutes. Check it when you think it’s been 30 seconds and again at 90 seconds. Repeat that until you can always get fairly close.
The Longer-Time Guessing Game: For your next few activities, write your estimate of how long you think each task will take. For example:
- Drive to work: 45 minutes
- Get ready to begin the first task: 15 minutes
- Answer email: 20 minutes
- Write the first draft of the report: 90 minutes
Now, log how long the tasks actually took. Keep playing that guessing game until your estimates are usually within 10 to 20 percent.

Time-management problems might derive from insufficient respect for the victims of their poor time management.
Most people don’t intentionally disrespect their victims. Usually, they just haven’t written it on their to-do list or don’t check the list often enough. Or they enjoy trying to c...

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
