Chapter 19. Managing Tasks

At work your projects are broken down into specific tasks, in addition to your daily and weekly repetitive tasks that somehow pile up overnight. At home there are the family-related tasks such as the Monday afternoon Girl Scout meetings with the new patches needing to be sewn on the vest immediately, trying to find a sitter for Saturday night, and all the regular chores too. You also have the home- related tasks such as mowing the lawn, grocery shopping, and picking up the dry cleaning.

Now, even with task lists and sticky notes, how do you find time to get it all done? Task management and time management are the focus of this chapter.
