Your To Do list isn't your boss
Here's a revelation about Time Management: you can't master it. But it can be managed.
Think about TM instead as a disciplined alignment of priorities against goals.
Push the angst you feel about your endless To Do list out the window. Build and manage a Priority list instead.
When your priorities align with your goals, time robbers and black holes become much easier to avoid.

Priority lists are the bomb
At 6 pm tonight, preview the next few weeks of your calendar and build your first Priority List.
As you scratch out the title "To Do" on your list, make sure everything on your Priority List supports your revenue, account, KDM, or skill goals.
Spend 5 minutes every night on this exercise, and you'll have half a chance of avoiding the black holes that drag you away.
As you can now see, "time management" is really about "goal management".
