If we aren't careful, it's easy to lose the priorities of each day and look back and realize that we haven't accomplished what we've hoped over weeks, months, or years. I've been doing a LOT of thinking about my own time management and how to optimize it to make sure that the important things (flying included) can consistently and sustainably get accomplished.
In this video I present the framework I'm using to schedule my time that has drastically increased the amount of time I have available to fly my Cessna 182 while still getting done the other important things in my life.
I hope that it can be a resource to you in your aviation journey and elsewhere!
