Nurturing the Dependent Variable in My Own Time Management Model

I approached time management as a model. In this model, we are the dependent variable. The reliability of the model depends on the independent variables we add. Who knows these variables better than ourselves? If adding a new variable decreases the impact of the ones that matter, let’s remove it.

In the past, there were times when my model worked well, but I see that removing some variables reduced its reliability. To prevent this and reach my best version, I identified 10 essential variables. These variables will remain constant, and I will observe their effects on my time management.

When everyone’s top 10 variables are unique to themselves and help us reach better places, our model will be perfected. Here are the 10 essential variables in my model:

1. ?? Starting the day at least half an hour early and incorporating at least 15 minutes of exercise.
2. ?? Using the first 10 minutes of the day to identify important tasks.
3. ?? Remembering to take breaks at regular intervals.
4. ?? No matter how busy I am, not skipping meals; it's important for maintaining energy.
5. ?? Not getting distracted by less important tasks. Planning specific times to handle them and saying no when necessary.
6. ?? Adding extra time to each task to allow for unexpected issues.
7. ?? Practicing at least 5 minutes of meditation daily. Taking a 5-minute pause during breaks instead of using social media will be much more productive.
8. ? Scheduling important tasks during my most productive hours instead of working long hours.
9. ?? Even if not every day, dedicate at least half an hour a week to a new topic, even if it’s just for research.
10. ?? Not limiting my life to work, making time for hobbies. As someone involved in theater and voice acting, these activities recharge my model's small compartments. Plus, they positively impact my work life.

I believe these principles will make my time management more efficient. If I come to morning meetings well-rested and energetic, I can be fully present. In addition to my work life, I also prioritize personal development and hobbies. I believe this balanced approach will positively affect both my personal and professional life.
