Hi,

I was wondering if calendaring time for all of my projects might not be a bad idea. In other words, during the work week I would schedule between 30 and 60 minutes of calendar time for each project. In the evenings and on the weekends, I would do the same for my home projects. This means that I need to keep my total number of active projects down to a reasonable number so as to allow for ample “free” time but it would seem to keep each project very much alive.

I would expect to continue to define next actions for those times when I am free and want to progress any given project. However, I find that without the hard confines of the calendar my day can get away from me and those projects that repel me never do get the attention they deserve. Also, I have found that by simply going with next actions my projects take a considerable amount of time to complete. With a long project list it might be a while before you get back to the one you just finished an action on, especially if you are trying to incrementally move them all forward.

Any thoughts on this approach?

Thanks!
