Manage your energy, not your time
Instead of watching the clock, energy management can be used instead of time management. Our positive mood is high in the morning, dips in the afternoon, and rises again in the evening. We can use this information to our advantage and plan for our high-priority work when our mood is high and do low-priority work during our low mood hours.
Not everyone is the same, so it's worth figuring out when you're most productive and schedule your tasks accordingly.
