A couple of truths have come to bare themselves to me over the last 6 months or so, and its time to face up and be all grown up about it. Firstly, a day really is only so long, there is no infinite time in a single day and working more after hours certainly doesn’t make the time extend beyond the usual. Thus it is crucial that you effectively plan tasks and deliver on them. I have started with a small activity at work, which seems to kind of work, by making a list of 10 objectives/work items and marking them [done] as I complete them. After that I then do another 10 and so on. The thing with this approach though is that I often find myself not giving myself room to review what I have done. Reviewing your work is as important as doing it, so where is the correct balance? I wonder.

We need structure in our day because without it we might panic and do things like madmen.
