Time management: a synthesis

Anthony Haynes writes; This is the third and final episode in our mini-series devoted to time management and productivity.

The opening episode outlined a tactical ('bottom-up') approach.

The second outlines a strategic ('top-down') approach.

Here we outline a synthetic approach: we bring our two approaches together, explore the relationship between them, and outline how to use them in combination for maximum effect.
