how do you manage your productive time? Do you just decide on

i look at the clock and wait until the day is over.
[spoiler]i cant wait to die [/spoiler]

I sleep during the day so it's over sooner

As things come in (unless they're quick enough to be done immediately) I jot them down. Paper is fine but a task manager program is better. This is because the next step entails going through that list when time permits and assigning dates/times to those items. It's a totally arbitrary exercise with times for completion estimated as best I can. (Large work is split into bite sized tasks.) The accuracy of estimation isn't so important because I only assign 3-5 tasks per day in any given context (work, home, etc.), depending on what else might be going on. I should always have enough time to tackle a few discrete tasks.

On the day itself, I start with whichever task I feel like. Sometimes there needs to be a particular order, while other times I can just choose to do the ugliest task first. I use the Pomodoro method to chew through tasks, either 15 minutes on/5 break or 25/5. That depends on the nature of the task and how available I need to be to answer messages/calls/people.

I pull all of this off with Wunderlist and the standard Android clock's timer function, as well as Outlook calendar at work to record stuff that's too far out to care about.

The Holy grail to productivity is not to get up from your chair until it's done.

100% focus on delivering something measurable
