Maybe I'm an un-organized mess. But there's no such thing as "x%" of my time. Theres's just time. And I'm either focused on doing something or I'm not. Management loves to think that they can parcel out time in that way. But it's a complete fantasy.
- xyzelement 4y agoI used to feel that way but now I appreciate the usefulness of "% of time" concept for aligning individual or team effort. For example, if my boss and I agree that I should be focused 80% on new business development and 20% on keeping existing customers happy, it doesn't mean I allocate every hour or every day this way, but it does mean that I pay a lot more attention to A vs B, but don't neglect B altogether. That's a useful way to agree on what is important in your context so your work can overall reflect that.
