TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Ya'll seem to be a pretty well-read lot, with experience with
self-improvement, career-type resources. And any other former journalists
out there may well share my weakness for distraction and inability to
accomplish tasks that are not constricted by impending, dire deadlines...and
therefore may know an answer to my question.
I wonder if anyone out there can recommend any good resources on time
management.
I'm not really looking for tech writer-specific stuff necessarily, like on
how to estimate how long a doco project will take (although, come to think
of it, that might help, too). More on how to estimate task lengths in
general, and how to improve, well, time management. I enjoy multitasking
(bored without it) but sometimes I take it too far, or multitask only fun
tasks....anyway, read any good books lately?
Feel free to respond offline. If folks are interested, I'll post a summary.
