Time management is one of the most crucial issues to be tackled by almost all researchers. There are too many distractions. There is hardly any time for home and life, especially for academics as they all have libraries at home. Teacher-researchers are still more hard-pressed to find time for research. Internet takes its toll too; it has its dark side as well. Once you start Google-searching some answer you come across so many things that are remotely of your interest, but there are temptations to explore those issues as well. A lot of time gets spent or wasted on those issues. RG site itself is a big attraction, but is extremely time-consuming. I am still searching ways to utilize my limited time effectively. I would love to hear the techniques you use in ensuring a more efficacious use of time.
I make a list of things to do everyday; and as a particular work gets done, i remove that work from the list. This helps me focus on what I need to do as a priority.

Every body should put a certain time table to cover all needed responsibilities and requests
Friends, Prof Debi has described us so well:
'Teacher-researchers are still more hard-pressed to find time for research.'
What I need to do is to set aside 2 - 3 weekends for extra work in the cubicle, and get the weak students to come in to study while I work until afternoon. During this time, I work on my research because the top priority of office hours is for students.
Prof Debi, I was a discipline teacher in my previous school and I discipline myself in my work, research, exercise and housework...
