Time Management for Creative People 4 – Avoid the ‘Sisyphus Effect’ of Endless To-do Lists

If you’ve ever had one of those days where your to-do list is longer by the evening than it was in the morning, this post is for you: Avoid the ‘Sisyphus Effect’ of Endless To-do Lists. It’s the latest in my guest series on Time Management for Creative People at Business of Design Online.

Let’s face it, Sisyphus may have had a hard time of it but at least he didn’t have to deal with e-mail.

EDIT: If you prefer watching video to reading, here’s a time management training interview in which I explain some of the key concepts from this series.

Would you like your team to be more creative and productive?

If your team could do with some help getting creative work done in the midst of the demands and distractions of the 21st-century workplace, ask me about running my popular time management training workshop Time Management for Creative People for your organisation.
