Rhythms and routines: the link between time management and lifespace theory

Reviewing my self management
I found a review of this book 
http://99u.com/workbook/16527/why-emailing-gives-you-a-false-sense-of-progress

I'd be interested to read the book and it has reminded me to review how I am going with my time management. I re-did the time management test here and scored much higher. Last month I scored 40 this month I scored 46, right on the cusp to a score of effective time management. Procrastination and managing interruptions are still areas I need to work on but there has definitely been an improvement by just trying to meet my goals, scheduling better and trying to be accountable to my team and manager. Yay for me :)

Project

Our project seems to be swimming along nicely thanks to my great team who are so motivated. I am enjoying the work as we made did a good job with the proposal and thus developed realistic goals and tasks. It is so clear and so able to focus on one task at a time. Its great doing some EBP for the first time in a while. 

In my search for relevant articles about training DSWs to support adults with autism I found a theory that is used in residential child care called "lifespace", ·       “Lifespace theory suggests that everyday life events, from getting children up in the morning to putting them to bed at night offers opportunities which can be as powerful as more formal interventions to enhance children’s development”.    “Lifespace can be described as the therapeutic use of daily life events in residential settings…Daily life events, which are shared by care staff and young people in residential settings, are exploited by the care team to help the young people gain an understanding of their life experiences. This understanding then becomes the foundation from which support is given to the young person to help him/her gain control over his/her daily environment” (   M Smith 2005 “Working in the Lifespace” in “In Residence” Scottish Institute for Residential Child Care. University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.)

This theory is encompassed in what we call the keyworker model in ECIS and therapy in the natural envionrments. I think we can also apply this to adults in residential care. This theory has been adapted for career development here and I think it would be useful to apply to my own career development. SO i might explore this further.
