Do you know a tool which is relatively cheap that let's me summarize and extracting action items? If possible, even saving the action items to Trello or similar tool. I think that's the most used use case (at least for me) and it's something relatively small, don't you think so?

It help you understand what to prioritize on and not something useless. And yku are less likely to forget things. Try using tools like notion.so , Evernote.com or even flux-task.com they all help. See for yourself within a few days you'll feel great

I went part time recently from 40hrs to 20hrs so I can go back to college to get some qualifications needed to attend university next year. I wanted to save as much as I could before going to university because I know how hard life can be for students and I'll be moving away from home so the more I can save, the better it'll be for me next year. The problem is that the wage I'm receiving at 20hrs just about gets me through the month so I'm not saving as much as I'd like.

I've been offered a second job where I would be working 10hrs a week. If I was to take this job I would be working 6 days a week and my schedule would look like:

Monday: college 9am-3pm

Tuesday: work 10am-7pm

Wednesday: work 10am-7pm

Thursday: work 6pm-11pm

Friday: college 9am-3pm, work 6pm-11pm

Saturday: work 8am-1pm

Sunday: break

I'm not sure whether to take the second job or not. Financially, I'd be way better off and this is something I plan on doing only for the next 6 months. I'm just worried that it might affect my college work but I figured with a strict schedule I should be okay. Any advice on whether I should take the second job or not? Anyone have any experience doing this and was it worth it?

Hi, I am a BBA student who also does AI&ML, yes, i do have 6 hobbies which are boxing, chess, reading, music, self development and spending time with my girlfriend. I manage all my time super effectively because i get all my work done, i get pretty good grades (85% avg.) heres how i do it.

- I have a schedule, a proper schedule with timings and days of the week which include the specific activity im doing at the time i alloted.

-I created a community of people who also have alot to do and dont have enough time, and together we help eachother out by giving tips, tracking progress etc. (I'll leave it in the desc. if you are interested)

but mainly its also staying disciplined and committed, its all a mental game.

If you really want to improve your time management skills i would love to help you out, please feel free to reach out. Thanks for reading

I am a 26 year old F. I’ve been working as an English teacher for the past 5 years. This last year i started working at a preschool and I love my job and my students so much. A little background about me - I’ve fought depression from a very young age and have embarked on a healing journey for the past 6-7 years. Yoga, therapy, writing, journaling, meditating have all become my best friends. However, recently I have built up so much resentment towards my job because I feel like it consumes so much of my time. I work from 9:30 to 5:30 - I come home and I’m super drained. I cook, do a few house chores (washing dishes, laundry, etc) and it’s already past 8. My husband comes home and we spend time together watching Netflix or just talking. On weekends I spend time with family. My schedule leaves me no time to write, do yoga, journal, go out in nature, meditate, etc… And I need lots of those for my mental stability.

I feel depressed. Sometimes I just suddenly start to cry because I love living life and I feel like i’m missing out on a lot. I’m not lazy or demotivated - I just feel like a slave. I know so many people complain about the 9-5 life. I’ve always worked 8 hour shifts and managed to make time but I don’t know why my body has shut down recently and I feel more drained than I used to before.

I have been looking for remote writing jobs where I can be in the comfort of my home and comfortably accommodate a better schedule for myself but I’ve only worked in teaching and don’t have any other experience - although I’m a fast learner and I love learning. I don’t know where to start and what to do. All I do is research and come back to square one. I need help! I’ve worked so hard on balancing my mental health and I’m just losing myself again.

I would deeply appreciate any advice, insight, experiences you may offer!

I have college from 8:30 a.m. and it ends around 3:30 p.m. then I come home around 5:00 p.m. i have to go to gym till 6:30, get ready to work and everything by 7:00 p.m., my work requires minimum 6 hours that means I finish around 1 - 1:30 a.m. sleep by 2 and then wakeup again at 6, idk how to manage this in a better way please suggest

Hey everyone!

I wondered whether anyone had any suggestions for good apps for time management?

I’ve been using Blitzit lately for managing my tasks and time tracking but wondered whether you had any more ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I constantly get distracted when trying to study. I tried the pomodoro technique on my pc and just started looking at my pc instead of studying.

Then it hit me, maybe i could MAKE a tool to fix this problem. I am a university student and feel like a lot of my friends have my problem as well, so i want to ask you guys.

I had this idea when i realized doing pomodoro with your phone or using a time management app is a wrong approach since phones are what make you distracted, not productive.

So, here’s Pomolight. The desk lamp with a pomodoro timer. You can choose a time mode like pomodoro, 45/10 or 60/10, choose the brightness level, and get to studying and pomolight will notify you when you can take a break and also when you will get back to studying.

So you can track your study time to focus better without using your phone.

What do you think? Any type of honest feedback is much appreciated. I’ve worked on this for 6 months, and would LOVE any feedback i could receive on improving it, or if it would be useful. I would love to come up with a productivity solution that would help people to study better and improve themselves :).

Write your management problems, I will try to help you. I'm thinking to build a product regarding management micro tool that will help you to manage time, billing, and Budget.

I was thinking of this for a possible schedule so I can work more but also hang out and do classes.

Tuesday. Work 5am-9am / school 9:30am-3pm / hangout with friends 3:30pm-8:30pm / sleep 9pm

Wensday. No work / School 9:30am-3pm / friends3:30pm-8:30pm / 9pm sleep

Thursday. Work 5am-9am / school 9:30am-3pm / hangout with friends 3:30pm-8:30pm / sleep 9pm

I've always been horrible at time management. I always plan things out in my head but can't stick to it or something always goes wrong. I'm in my senior year and I need to start getting serious. I come home from school and I barely have time to do homework or study. I'd be grateful if someone could help me make a proper schedule.

This is my life right now:

5-5:30am - Wake up 5:30-6am -Taking a shower and other morning routine 6-6:30am -having breakfast and getting ready for school 6:45-6:50am - leaving for school 7-7.20am- reaching school (depends on traffic) 7.30am-3pm - school 3:30pm - coming back home 3.30-4pm - changing clothes, sometimes having lunch 4-5:30 pm - rest (sleeping or scrolling on phone) 5:30-6:30pm- shower 6:30- 7:25pm - tuition homework or reading whatever was taught last class 7:30pm - 9pm - tuition 9pm-10 - some school homework, dinner, scrolling on phone 10-12pm - school homework (& trying to study) 12-1:30am- reading webnovels (if I can't sleep)

1:30am - 5:15an - sleep

This is my schedule on a usual day. It's different when I have extra classes at school or when I have a headache (which I get very often) or when I fall sick (which also happens way too often).

Could someone help me? I can't find time to study whatever is being taught or even revise anything I've studied. I can't even function properly because I'm not getting proper sleep (probably the reason for my headaches).

hi everyone,

i'm looking for ways to make shortcuts in learning. i tried flashcard generators such as remnote and language learners such as fluent, but a lot of it seems to be heavy text-based (and i have dyslexia so that's not ideal). does anyone know any text-to-video tools? came across lesson22.ai today but it doesnt seem to work (yet?).... any other recommendations of tools that do work?

Found an app called Zendo.cc that easily allows me prioritise my tasks on the Eisenhower Priority Matrix

What can I do with my time as an adult? I’m really stuck and it’s not funny please don’t post mean stuff. I’m bothered by my time things a lot and feel like I’m wasting everything.

Found a Chrome extension called Deep Work Zone that's really helped my time management. It blocks distracting sites during set work periods and tracks my online time. Seeing where my time actually goes was eye-opening. It's helped me stay focused and build better work habits. Anyone else use tools like this for time management?

What formula do you use to put a value on your time?

When I was younger and a kid, my time literally had no value.

Over the years it's increased but I've struggled to determine the value of my time as I age, my income increases, and my investments generate revenue.

I feel there are many elements to the decision, and I'm starting to have trouble.

To me I feel as though I'm past the standard of I make x dollars an hour or my investments earn x dollars per month, vs hiring someone costs a certain percentage x.

Elements: time, risk, cost to hire someone, enjoyability, and how else I could use the time doing something more valuable.

Example - Paying someone to do something small on my roof that I can do in 30 mins is a lot more valuable than me risking a fall.

Example - paying someone to maintain my yard during a weekday, or to clean and do wash, or to go food shopping frees up my entire weekend. However I'm earning zero dollars doing something fun for the weekend.

How do you calculate the value of your time with so many elements at play?

Managing and using time efficiently sound great and productive in general since you can do a lot more things within allowed time.

But it could make the quality of the work worse if this idea is stuck in your head.

There are certain jobs that take good amount of time to get done and sometimes you don't know how long it would take.

Do you still just put certain hours per day for this or allocate it with unlimited time til it gets done?

Im 16 and have recently got a job that I work 4pm-10pm, Monday-Thursday and I want to go to the gym but dont know when I can because of work and school which starts and ends a 8am-3pm making my day completly full and no time for the gym or other hobbies. What should I do without takeing less hours at work?

An excellent book on Time Management by Dr. Dina Nath Jha Dinker, talks about various time management theories, techniques and gives practical recommendations. A good read and practical guide.Book available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited: https://amazon.com/Get-More-Done-Less-Time.../dp/B0BY9JB36M/

recently came across something that I think could really benefit anyone struggling with consistency, especially when it comes to studying. Like many, I tend to go through bursts of productivity followed by slumps, and I was searching for a course or guideline to help me stay more consistent. After asking around, I found this fantastic free course called "Maria Wendt - How To Get Shit Done & Stay Consistently Motivated" (you can check it out here: https://go.thecoursebunny.com/WLb_2iCkm

I've been watching a few of the modules throughout the week, and I’ve already noticed a significant improvement in my consistency. The course breaks down practical strategies in a way that's easy to follow and genuinely motivating. It's not just about pushing yourself harder—it’s about creating habits that make consistent productivity feel effortless.

Hope this helps surf everyone into productivity like it helped me.

As a member of Gen Z, it’s easy to blame my ADHD, hectic schedule, my challenges, or phone distractions for why things don’t get done.

But instead of letting those things hold me back, I decided to create a solution.

I developed an AI prompt that helps me stay focused and externalize my thinking process. It’s designed to help me manage the overwhelming challenges of time management.

What I Learned From Building the Tracy Team System ,

Building the Tracy Team System AI prompt. was a deep dive into understanding what really drives productivity, focus, and consistent progress.

Time Management Shapes Everything

Brian Tracy’s teachings reinforced the idea that how you manage your time is how you manage your life. When you take control of your time, everything else follows.

The 4 Ds: Essential for Growth

In developing the system, I centered it around four essential traits:

1. Desire is what fuels your drive,
2. Decisiveness is what gets you moving,
3. Determination keeps you going when it’s tough, and
4. Discipline ensures you stay consistent.

These qualities form the core of the Tracy Team System.

Control Your Time, Direct Your Life

The more I worked on the system, the clearer it became that controlling your schedule is key to making progress. Inspired by Brian Tracy, This means prioritizing high-value tasks and reducing distractions, so you’re always in control of where you’re headed.

Planning Creates Momentum

One of the biggest lessons from Brian Tracy that shaped the system is the power of planning. When you plan well, your actions are more focused and efficient. The system is built to help you map out both daily tasks and long-term goals in a way that drives real results.

These core principles are what make the system effective, helping you stay focused, productive, and always moving in the right direction.

Hi everyone!

I want to share how important time management has been for me while launching my first product as a product manager. In the beginning, I tried to do everything at once—marketing, development, and gathering feedback. It quickly became chaotic and stressful.

To get organized, I tried what my sister kept telling me to use which was Hyperdone. It helped me plan my tasks and set deadlines, which made managing my time much easier. This tool really helped me stay on track during the launch. Though, there are still times when I procrastinate. Do you have any manual techniques you do to improve your productivity?

What tools or strategies do you use to manage your time effectively? I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

These days, i am really having a hard time getting started on studying, i’m thinking a reward/punishment system, or a tracker that shows me my stats could be fun to try and give a little excitement to studying.

What do you suggest?
