You [dannielo] are describing the 3rd generation of time management, there are four, each new generation uses the previous one, and is an improvement of all,

in a few words, the 1st one is notes and checklists, the second generation of time management is calendar and appointments books, the 3rd adds
- the important idea of prioritization,
- clarifying values and comparing the worth of each activities comparing to those values.
- it focuses on setting goals, toward time and energy would be directed in harmony with these values.
- daily planning and specific plans

It works good but people feel too scheduled.

There is a fourth generation than rather than focusing on time, focuses on preversing and enhancing relationships and on accomplishing results.

More explanations here:
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Information Professionals, Part 5
seven habits quadrant time management matrix - Recherche Google

I didn't invent that and am just repeating The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On the Getting Things Done - WikipÃ©dia point of view which proposes a 3rd generation time management solution, after implementing the GTD system in your life, GTD proposes:

"The Four-Criteria Model for
Choosing Actions in the Moment
Remember that you make your action choices based on the fol-
lowing four criteria, in order:
1 | Context
2 | Time available
3 | Energy available
4 | Priority
"

gtd context time energy priority - Google Search

I think you would prefer to start with a 3rd generation (or maybe 2nd?) time management system, before rapidly evolving, what do you think?
