Giving yourself a recalibration

It's been a while since I've talked about any time-management-related activities, so I decided to post on this topic today.

Whether you use a PDA or paper or both to help you manage your time, good time management always boils down to whether you are working on the right things. In that regard, I have found it helpful over the years to periodically "recalibrate myself" by asking the following questions:

* What am I doing that is working?
* What am I doing that is not working?
* What do I need to do More of?
* What do I need to do Less of?
* What am I not doing that I should give a try?

I did this again recently, and Investing about 30 minutes in working through these questions gave me some very helpful answers. I might have subconsciously realized the answers to these questions, but it sure helps to have them written down.

Perhaps the very most successful people have these questions running as a background script through their minds throughout the day. For me, looks like I need a reminder to ask them of myself periodically. Maybe monthly or quarterly.

Do you ask yourself these questions often enough?

Are there other questions that should be added to this list?
