Free Task Scheduling spreadsheet.

- Quit having to work out priorities.

-Know that you can finish your work..

-Know how much time you have available..

-Always do the highest priority task.

I struggled for years with time management. Eventually, I settled on a 2-tier system. For the top tier, I created (and modified over the years) a spreadsheet that help me decide what I needed to do this week. The spreadsheet has tools to copy this week's chores into Outlook, which I do once per week. For the second tier, I then arrange the tasks to fit my current schedule.

Here it is: Task_Scheduler_23Feb2014.zip. As always, use at your own risk, no support provided, your mileage may vary.
