Clutter is usually linked to creativity. A successful painter's studio is often a tangled mess with canvases and pigments strewn about. Some say writers sit at desks covered with papers, pencils, and scratched notes on small pieces of paper. These are unquestionable generalisations, not clichés. Despite this, creativity does not necessarily lead to production, and order is required for productivity... Time division is the best technique to find order.

Contrary to popular belief, regularity and productivity are acquired traits, not divine gifts. Order refers to mental tidiness rather than physical decluttering. It is a state of mind in which everything stays in one place and does not interfere with other things. We must focus on these concerns one at a time and not allow distractions.

It's been proven time and time again that multitasking is a prescription for disaster. From reading and responding to two emails at the same time to texting while strolling down the street, many behaviours overlap. This results in a longer process and more likely occurrence of errors owing to loss of concentration.

Time division is a strategy that divides our awake time into portions or compartments to limit our time on tasks. This allows the person to work more efficiently and focus on the task at hand, finishing each action within the time frame set. That's human psychology: we don't always do work on time, but we do our best to finish it within a certain time period.


Most people who can't resist checking that last e-mail in the middle of a task would say they did it "because they had to." True, we are taught that time is precious, especially at work. We can do the assignment faster if we can overcome our early procrastination.

Separating things affects one's entire existence. Our brains can block out and muffle anything that occupies our time by learning to partition time. That's true focus and production.

Most people say they can work for hours while listening to their favourite (but not confusing) music CD. Sadly, not everyone has access to such a unique environment, and those who do must work in an open workplace. So time division takes a lot more practise.

Write down even the smallest activities on your calendar as a beginning step, especially if you work at a computer. As a result, the person evaluates their time management skills and sets deadlines and goals for themselves. If you can't pack a half-worth hour's of work into 10 minutes, you'll quickly grow disheartened.

There is a professional and personal approach to "Is there anything I can do right now?" If there is a critical issue, take action and go forward; if not, set a date and move forward. If nothing can be done now, the only option is to accept it and reconsider it later.

Separating time helps us arrange our day and avoids distractions from things we can't solve right now.
