The first generation of time management, taking notes and using list tables.

The first generation of time management, taking notes and using list tables.


An attempt to recognize and manage by marking a number of tasks that require a lot of time and energy.



The second generation of time management, calendars and appointment registers.


Create a schedule for future tasks and activities so you can plan ahead.



The third generation of time management, a widely used method of time management. Added 'priority' concept.


Add new ideas to articulate what is valuable and important and compare the gains from each activity by creating value. Focus on goal setting. Long-term, medium-term and short-term goals


Committing time and energy towards a goal, ensuring that it is aligned with value standards.


This includes day-to-day planning and specific plans for carrying out goals and activities that will bring you maximum benefit.



It is true that third-generation time management has made significant contributions. But people soon began to notice that 'efficient' scheduling and time control often backfire. Because valuing efficiency makes it difficult to form good relationships, doesn't satisfy needs, and makes it impossible for each to enjoy unconventional and natural moments.


Eventually, people will abandon third-generation time management techniques and return to the first and second generations in order to maintain good relationships, to work voluntarily without restraint, and to preserve their quality of life.



Enter the fourth generation of time management.


Manage yourself, not 'time management'.


Open your eyes to effectiveness beyond efficiency.


Realize the difference between efficiency and effectiveness, and let time be the master of your life, not your slave.



Time management in the true sense is possible only when self-management is achieved.
