Abstract

This essay explores the challenges of workload management and time prioritization. We all experience a diverse array of tasks, obligations, and responsibilities that fill our metaphorical work plates, which can leave us feeling overwhelmed and overloaded. The author shares personal experiences and experiments with time tracking and time blocking techniques to gain a clearer vision and control over the allocation of time. Through reflective practices and the identification of priorities, the author emphasizes the importance of managing oneself, motivation, concentration, and consistency, ultimately advocating for a curatorial mindset to cultivate the quality of work. By documenting and analyzing the utilization of time, individuals can make more intentional choices, nourishing their “plates” with tasks that align with their values, interests, and intentions. This essay encourages a shift from viewing time as a scarce resource to recognizing its abundance and exploring the artistry of purposeful and connected actions in relation to time, energy, and emotion attributes.
