Managing time?

Question

I've got problem with managing my time.
Whenever I'm working on something,I
can't work on sth else.When I'm trying
to learn sth,for instance,I spend ALL
my time just on that subject and I
haven't got the inclination to work
on and study other subjects I've
learned before.So I forget any thing
that i already spent time to learn it.
And more over after a while,I get
bored and put it aside and take another thing.
So I do forget it like the others.
If I were able to manage my time so
that I could spend some time to review
what I've learnded before,was cool.But
how?

Answer 1

I am the same way. Try writing a list of all of the things that you need to do, assign a time limit for each thing, put them in order, then do them in that order. If you run out of time for a particular thing, go to the next thing and come back to what you were working on later that day. Try not to assign too much and if something takes longer than a few hours, break it up into manageable pieces. I haven't mastered this yet, but I at least get a few things done rather than being bogged down into one thing.

Answer 2

Males typically focus on one thing at a time. It's supposedly due
to forces at work. Yet, we are supposed to be able to make use of both these forces.
Let me suggest this, and then I will give some practical ideas.
Use the Serenity prayer.
Also, our modern conveniences have actually caused our
lives to be more hectic. Our machines can do 100 times more
a day than we can.
Exercise your DOMAIN. Take control over the things stressing us out.
The phone systems today are bogus. We still have to listen to
complaints on the voice mail. And can't ask questions or claify
things leading to delays, which create serious problems for others, and we get more grief.
We need to stand up and make them hire some phone people
for one. Otherwise, designate certain hours a day to answer phones. And take walk-ins. Many problems can be handled with little effort.
Set up a priority system. One place took my advice and put
on the reports, "Is this an emergency?" Now everyone is going to
say YES. Take time to screen your incoming notices yourself.
And handle emergencies first, and other things that can be
handled later, at a later time. It will take time for this to start
working. And never will, if we dont' do something about these
bogus phone sysytems.

Answer 3

Certainly using the tools of time technology, calendar, clock, day planner etc.. About the psychological component, if you can find connections of all studies to all others, or some with some others, you may retain more information. The 'use' for information is an ambiguity: the uses may be social (as in making talk) or demonstrating knowledge in a subject or making an argument or a proof, it may be use for inventive or creative purposes (an artistic medium of some kind, political expression, religious expression), vocabulary or relating a word through the definition for another word, classifications for knowledge didn't work for me well, but it make work for you, or classification over lap of one subject over another, sharing of concepts or definitions, mutual applicability for your profession.....memory efficiency is time usage efficiency. Measurement is scientific.

Answer 4

Have you tried using a Planner or PDA -- that is the way to time your efforts, and the chimes when you have start or finish (on the PDA) are very good reminders to start the next assignment or wrap up efforts on the previous assignment.

Answer 5

"Hello Dave!
I've given your question and explanation a read.
Honest answers, of my kind, would bring only anger to our meeting of minds; therefore, I'll tread lightly here and possibly go for your next question about someone besides yourself."

Answer 6

Organise your brain, use it like a computer and place everything in it's own folder.
