General Patton, Procrastination and Time Management

June 29th, 2006

My favourite quote ever is one that I found in one of Jay Conrad Levinson’s books is this:

“A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.” - General G.S. Patton

For the longest time I had this quote pinned to the bulletin board in my office. It is now burned into my brain.

I have a history of procrastination, perfectionism and perpetual planning. I have found a number of ways to deal with these issues but it is the Patton quote that really brought me to attention (pun intended).

In Search of Solutions

In the last year have read a number of interesting articles on time-management and planning. Here are four of my favourites:

You will notice that three of the four articles are by Steve Pavlina. He is by far one of my favourite blog writers, if you can call him that. No one on the web I have found puts more effort into their articles than Steve. Some of his ideas you may find odd but they will always prove thought proving.

What are Your Favourites?

Let me know what your favourite time-management, procrastination and perpetual planning remedies, techniques and insights you have learned.
