VPZtms Part 2: System Requirements
The Scope of my System
The characteristics of your work setup define which features your time management system needs and which tools are available to you.
My time management system is defined by the following characteristics:
I work from home, off of one computer.
This means:
I don’t need contexts
I use all desktop software and no web software. Because the advantages of desktop software (they work better and are available offline) eclipse the advantages of web software (they are available from any computer connected to the internet).
My system is paperless
This means:
- All my tools will be software.
I run OS X
This means:
- All of my tools work exclusively on OS X (although similar software exists on most OSes).
Am I right to assume that you only use your system to manage work related tasks?
Hi Mandaris,
As Stephen Covey recommends, I try to manage both my business and personal life together under one system. But, in general business tends to lend itself better to this kind of structure, so the majority of what I manage in this system is business related.
