Managing my time

I made a timetable of Easter vacation today. The purpose of doing it is that I'm afraid there will be little things done after one month holiday as what happened in the past. Time management is a big issue for each of us.
The definition of time management in wikipedia is:

Time Management teaches a number of techniques that aim to increase the effectiveness of a person in getting the things done that need to be done. Time management is somewhat of a misnomer as time passes without regard to what we do; the only thing we can manage is ourselves. Hence time management is mostly about self management.
There are a number of tools, techniques and attitudes that can help:

* Todo list
* Goal setting
* Proactiveness
* Priorities
* Win-win opportunities
* Understanding others
* Improving yourself

Also, 43FoldersWiki provides us two basic approaches to manage the time:

Task-based and Outcome-based. Task-Based Time Management is best represented by Getting Things Done (GTD), which helps you organize the tasks you wish to do by priority and venue. Outcome-Based Time Management is best represented by Franklin/Covey and Anthony Robbins OPA/RPM systems. These systems begin with defining overriding goals you wish to accomplish (like buying a new car, for example), and then detemining tasks to support that goal, and ultimately organizing many tasks to ensure that your life achieves the outcomes you desire.

What I have done is divided into 3 steps. Firstly, making a Todo list to list all I have to do in the coming month. Made mark of each one by its important level. This list may be expanded in the future. Secondly, write down the major task of each day by using a pattern of calendar. The task related to the date may be changed depending on my progress. Last, create a timetable of next week. Specify the tasks of every day in the unit of hour. The timetable will be evaluated on next Saturday and a new one will be established on next Sunday. Hopefully, the method can help me avoid wasting time as possibly as I can.

Time Management is not only a technical method. It is about achieving a good habit for our life and lead to success, like the habit of blogging. Besides Time Management, one important issue is Execution, which should be considered in making decision of planning your time.
