Time management

Issue : Time flies, and I'm not able to make progress on my various side-projects and having fun on my very private time.

What is actually private time ?

Private environment.

I started listening to Fabien Olicard's audiobook "Votre temps est infini" (translation: Your time is endless).

It starts with dividing time into categories. While describing what's what, I will also describe here what applies to my situation.
(Remember, you're in my digital garden, this website is a tool for me above everything else).

  • Le temps subi - Endured time: This is the time that we don't control and that we endure, involving activities that we didn't choose or that we must do out of obligation.

  • Le temps choisi - Chosen time: This is the time we deliberately decide to spend on certain activities, like personal projects, hobbies, or relaxation, where we make conscious choices.

  • Le temps maîtrisé - Mastered time: This is the time we control completely, where we are most efficient, often associated with good organization and effective time management.

  • Le temps obligatoire - Obligatory time: This refers to the time that must be devoted to unavoidable tasks or obligations, such as administrative duties, essential work tasks, or necessary household chores.

Professionnal environment.

I also attended time management trainings at work. Let's share what was taught there.
