Two important principles of time management
1. Delegate
2. It can wait.
These are also conducive to good mental health.
The second is not a mandate for procrastination.
Rather it is a mandate to be pro-active rather than reactive, to set and stick to priorities, to not let the squeaky wheel get the most oil, to let people solve their own problems, ....
I often feel pressure to get a long list of things done as soon as possible. This is not good for my stress level and mental health. However, if I can calm down and let things go, and come back to them later, I will have a better sense of perspective.
I don't claim to have the best time management. Some earlier thoughts are here.
