Archive for the ‘external structure’ tag
How do you get things done when the Man is no longer setting your schedule?
From Stepcase Lifehack:
Whether you’re an anarchist, or simply someone with no desire to listen to upper management,
it takes a surprising amount of self-discipline — and time management —
to make sure that you keep producing.Without some sort of discipline,
it’s hard to even start all those things that we clear out time for.
Sure, you can go back to that exoskeleton — t
hat external structure provided by work or school —
but who wants to do that?For Jim’s titular anarchists, then, there has to be a way of internalizing that structure.
While ‘Time Management for Anarchists’ seems incongruent,
it may be the only way an anarchist —
or someone else outside of the normal employment system — can succeed.The logical conclusion is that the greatest tool for
bringing about the end of oppressive employers
is the agenda book or calendar.While the concept took me a bit by surprise, it does make sense:
being able to prioritize and plan is the skill necessary to
run your own business,
remodel your house
and generally do well at anything.
