Editor's Notes
1st generation – notes and checklists
2nd generation – calendars and appointment books . This wave reflects an attempt to look ahead, to schedule events in the future
3rd generation – current time-management field – it adds to the previous generation with putting importance of prioritization, setting goals and short term targets towards which time and energy would be directed in harmony with values.
4th Generation: it recognizes that “time management” is really a misunderstanding – the challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves!
