어느 구글 직원의 시간관리
구글의 마케팅 헤드인 제레미아 딜런의 시간관리 법이랍니다.
몇가지 시사점은
1. 일에 몰입하기 위해서는 충분한 시간을 할당하라.
2. 실행력을 높이기 위해서는 실제 시간을 블럭하라.
3. 업무 성격에 맞도록 시간 배분을 배분하라.
이었습니다.
시중에 시테크라고 해서 나오는 번잡한 방법이 과연 효과가 있을까하고 생각한 적이 많았는데,
상당히 공감이 가는 글이었습니다.
아래 비디오 클립과 E-mail을 한번 보시고 의견 주시기 바랍니다.

Subject: If you don’t have time to read this . . . read it twice.
Stop. Breathe. Now, think about how you’re managing your time. Speaking for myself, I have some room for improvement.
It’s been said there are two paradigms to scheduling — the manager and the maker.
The manager’s day is cut into 30-minute intervals, and they change what they’re are doing every half hour. Sorta like Tetris — shifting blocks around and filling spaces.
The maker’s day is different. They need to make, to create, to build. But, before that, they need to think. The most effective way for them to use time is in half-day or full-day blocks. Even a single 30-minute meeting in the middle of “Make Time” can be disruptive.
We all need to be makers.
Ok. Great idea. I’ll do that . . . you know . . . later . . . I’m late for a meeting.
No. It doesn’t work that way. The only way to make this successful is to be purposeful. Establish an implementation intention. You need to define precisely when and where you’ll reserve Make Time for your projects. Let me tell you a story about a study on this effect:
- The control group was asked to exercise once in the next week. 29% of them exercised.
- Experiment group 1 was given the same ask, along with detailed information about why exercise is important to health (i.e., “You’ll die if you don’t”.) 39% of them exercised.
- Experiment group 2 was asked to commit to exercising at a specific place, on a specific day at a specific time of their choosing. 91% of them exercised.
Commit to protecting Make Time on your calendar, including the time and place where you’ll be making, and ideally detail on what you’ll be making. That way, you know, it’ll actually happen.
So, I can just do this like . . . last thing on Friday, right . . . after all of my meetings are over?
Actually, no. Many of our meetings could be shorter or include fewer people, and some don’t need to happen at all. Take back those hours for your Make Time instead. But don’t put it off till the end of the day on Friday — the time you choose really matters. Your energy levels run the course of a wave throughout the week, so try to plan accordingly:
Aim to do the following:
Monday: Energy ramps out of the weekend — schedule low-demand tasks like setting goals, organizing, and planning.
Tuesday, Wednesday: Peak of energy — tackle the most difficult problems, write, brainstorm, schedule your Make Time.
Thursday: Energy begins to ebb — schedule meetings, especially when consensus is needed.
Friday: Lowest energy level — do open-ended work, long-term planning, and relationship building.
Always bias your Make Time toward the morning, before you hit a cycle of afternoon decision fatigue. Hold the late afternoon for more mechanical tasks.
My new challenge to you: create and protect your Make Time, and before you “steal someone’s chair,” consider whether it’ll be disruptive to their Make Time.
I have Make Time on my calendar. Please don’t schedule over it, and I promise to do my best not to schedule over yours.
