Project Management
Time Management

Create the plan
Remember the 80/20 rule (see the pareto principle below)
Not just status updates
Stop micro managing
Don’t do the work
Create a To-Do List

Make interruptions the exception rather than the rule.
Allocate large chunks of time to individual projects.
Don’t take on too many projects.
Reserve time for self-improvement.

Pareto Principle: the Pareto Principle, also known as the '80:20 Rule' states that 80% of efforts that are not time managed or unfocused generates only 20% of the desired output. However, 80% of the desired output can be generated using only 20% of a well time managed effort.
