During my time at school, I lived day by day, and since the school itself had a timetable that enforced various time regulations, I didn’t pay much attention to how I used my time. Now that I’m out in society, I’ve realized that there are only two fixed time points: 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM from Monday to Friday. The rest of the time is unstructured, which severely limits the quality and regularity of my study and life.

After a few days of adjustment, I’ve changed my computer, and the office has opened up external network access. Additionally, the training for newcomers in the unit is almost complete. For the upcoming period, I should start by making a schedule.

When it comes to scheduling, terms like GTD, Google Calendar, Blackberry, and Outlook immediately come to mind. These are some mainstream applications I’ve experienced in my previous life, but I never stuck with them, thinking they weren’t very useful.

In reality, for a job that is closely related to the internet and often relies on recording future tasks, schedule management is an extremely important aspect. Using a notebook or a desk calendar to record tasks is also a good option, but the downside is that a notebook can’t remind you in real-time about what tasks to handle next, and a desk calendar can’t accommodate all tasks and isn’t convenient for adjusting schedules. Therefore, I think an electronic schedule is more reliable, so I use a combination of Outlook and Blackberry.

The reason I didn’t choose Google Calendar is due to the well-known instability of network connections on mobile apps. It’s more secure and reliable to sync directly via Bluetooth or a data cable with a local computer.

The first plan in my schedule is the review plan for the upcoming judicial exam, which is about a month away. I’ve divided each day into three phases: morning, afternoon, and evening, each lasting four hours. Then, I’ve arranged all nine subjects of the judicial exam into the schedule. I aim for an efficient, highly repetitive, and uninterrupted review process. Last year, I suffered from low repetition and continuity, so I can’t afford to make the same mistake this year!

As for the work in the upcoming period, I’ll need the support of my colleagues…

I’ve noticed that the full-screen editor in WP3.2’s backend is quite good, kudos to it!
