  17. The speaker claims that a detailed time-management plan fails to afford adequate

  flexibility to deal with the unexpected at the workplace. He seems to offer an either/or

  choice between planning ones time rigidly, by detailing important daily as well as long-

  term plans, and not planning at all; and he prefers the second choice. The speakers

  claim is overly simplistic, since it is possible for a detailed time-management plan to

  also provide flexibility.

  Working at any job-without a detailed road map for the immediate and longer-

  term can trivialize the efforts of both employees and organizational units so that all their

  efforts become aimless. The only sensible way proceed is to consider first ones most

  important long-term objectives; then an organizational unit and its employees can order

  daily and weekly tasks according to how much each adds to the achievement of those

  objectives. With a broader perspective, workers can eliminate from the list those daily

  activities that may seem urgent or may be most enjoyable but dont really contribute to

  long-term job goals or to organizational objectives.

  A detailed time-management system need not be inflexible. Knowing which items

  to eliminate from a to-do list gives a time-management plan its flexibility. When the

  unexpected arises, it can be judged according to its role in fulfilling long-term goals. If

  what at first seemed urgent turns out not to be important, it can be deferred to another

  time or ignored altogether. But if something unexpected needs handling in order to

  fulfill an important business or life plan, it will take priority over lesser activities in the

  daily or weekly schedule. For instance, I might have a meeting planned for one oclock

  with coworkers to decide the location of an awards banquet, and find out at noon that an

  important client is thinking of switching to our competitor but wants to talk with me

  first. I can easily discern that the banquet meeting is less important than a critical

  meeting with a valuable client.

  In conclusion, effective time management must involve a detailed scheduling of

  tasks. But it also requires determining which tasks are more central than others to the

  satisfaction of long-term objectives. This way, the daily or weekly schedule becomes

  not just a list of tasks to check off, but a flexible plan that can accommodate important

  urgencies while allowing us to bypass less significant scheduled tasks and ignore

  unimportant interruptions.
