As a part of the discussion there has been discussions surrounding to-do-lists and their effectiveness and necessity. This is not the first time the topic has come up and without tackling the debate about the necessity or pros and cons of the TDL; I wanted to see if there was a simple way to manage ones life while avoiding the TDL.

What do others expect of you? Are the expectations realistic? Managing expectations and keeping them within realistic guideposts is the first step towards managing time. As Yogi Berra said, "If you don't know where you're going, you won't know when you reach there." If you don't have an expectation, you won't know how you are doing.

What it really boils down to is how we keep charge of our attention spans and co-ordinate with our actions in the situations we find ourselves involved.
