One of the things I find most useful in managing time is to do the things I have appropriate energy for whenever possible. What I mean by this is that if I have a lot of physical energy, I will mow the lawn; if I have good focus I will make sure to do the detailed planning I may be less equipped to do at a different moment; if I am in a social frame of mind I will answer phone calls, etc. While it is not always possible to do this because some things must be done no matter how I feel, I find that doing things this way allows me to be much more efficient. I also feel better inside myself than I do if I force myself to do tasks I do not have the right energy to take on.
