grl, I believe that you are on the right track with your intention to build your own time management system.

In fact, my observation is that we ALL must do so in order to be able to cope with a fast-changing world, and that we must be the ones to evolve it in order to keep up. What we lack are the techniques for building time management systems effectively.

I have been working on how best to do this for a couple years, and I believe that there are certain fundamentals that all time management systems must address to be effective -- maybe my blog might be helpful to you as you do your own design and implementation.
