Time management: the method of "active days"

It would seem that could be easier: planned, villages, carried out?! But no, we are constantly on that distraction or reason for which still does not perform scheduled. And only the lucky few possess magical magnet that holds in place not only their bodies, but also attention to, as long as they do not have to differentiate between all the chores.

For those who do not have this ability, there are plenty of tricks to come up with the happy owners of "magnet". One of them - a method of using "active days" Stever Robbins (Stever Robbins) from the book "9 Steps to work less and do more" (9 Steps to Work Less and Do More).

The author offers to choose a partner and certain days in which you will either call up or written off by mail (use Facebook, Twitter, other social networks or instant messengers) at regular intervals and report to each other on progress and plans for the next hour.

What good is this method?
1. Statements. With this method you record virtually every step throughout the working day. If you are in the company made at the end of each week a report on the work done by the hour, you save a lot of time for yourself every Friday. In addition, to find a really good partner for such statements is difficult enough, as your views about the work must largely coincide.

2. Tracking progress. Also, this method is good to use when the command work at the project. Let it be one day a week, if the long-term project, and comparing the reports of the two weeks, you can easily track progress, or to understand what is going wrong.

Try to pick one day and test this method of planning. Perhaps this is the magic ingredient that I was missing! In any case, I think that each person can choose the right way of working and planning. The main thing to not be lazy and experiment.
