In university I studied engineering/science, but when I transitioned into the working world, I transitioned into project management. To me this article is somewhat click-bait promising to "just do these # of things..." I guess it provides helpful tips or a more simplistic way to begin to manage your time better if that is something you are struggling with and feel overwhelmed with how to even start to improve it. But I strongly feel the thing that makes me a great project manager is that you know how much rigor is appropriate for a given project so you know just how much to spend time planning and how much you need to focus on execution. And "Beware of Distractions" is a huge understatement. I think this area deserved a little more because, IMO, you shouldn't just be aware, you need to actively manage this. You need to set specific time aside to look at your email. You need to put your phone down and not surf the web at random times. You need to be deliberate with your time, especially if you have a lot to get done. This is where having a list of "tasks" or things you want to accomplish in a specified amount of time can be helpful, because you can prioritize getting through that before you go to your emails, texts, etc.
