The “SOmeThing’S gOT TO giVe” TheOrY OF Time 
managemenT
The next time someone asks you to take on a new activity . . .
The  next  time  you  find  yourself  starting  to  take  over  a  task 
without even being asked . . .
The next time you’re tempted for any reason to take on a new 
commitment . . .
Write the task on your commitment list and, next to it, write the 
specific activity you’re going to give up to do it. Again, you need 
to be honest here; the time it took you to perform the old activity 
must equal the time required for the new one.
Here are some examples:
NEw activity 
old activity
Exercise on the treadmill
(45 minutes every morning) 
45 minutes of sleep
Chair the neighborhood recycling committee 
Play with my kids on those
 
Saturday mornings
Join a book discussion group (two-hour meeting  Watch television (three hours/
each month, ten hours to read the book)  
week)
The first tradeoff, exercise for sleep, may not be a good deal 
(although it’s one that many of us happily have made). Exercise 
is  surely  good  for  physical,  mental,  and  emotional  well-being. 
But so is sleep. Are you getting enough? Too much? Not enough 
(more likely)? 
If you decide you need the sleep, that doesn’t mean you can’t also 
do the exercise. It means you have to figure out another trade.
The second tradeoff is even more problematic. You may believe 
strongly that recycling is our last best chance to save the planet. 
But you also place high value on spending time with your kids,

especially if you don’t get to see them much during the week. Can 
you work another trade? You’d have to find a way that would also 
fit the kids’ “schedules,” of course. (Don’t decide to give up watch-
ing 
Saturday Night Live
 to play with your four-year-old.)
Can’t  find  a  way  to  do  the  recycling  without  abandoning  the 
kids? Then you might have to leave the recycling to somebody else.
The third example looks like a terrific swap. Instead of wast-
ing time on mindless television, you’ll be exercising your critical 
skills  and  absorbing  great  literature.  Maybe.  But  television  and 
print  are  simply  media  of  expression.  The  content  surely  has  to 
factor into the equation. Are you giving up reruns of a sitcom to 
read genuinely stimulating books? Go for it. But swapping concert 
performances on television for works of breathy romance may not 
be a great deal. (I’m not saying it isn’t. It’s a matter of taste.)
To do this right, you should figure in the quality of that two-hour 
group discussion, too. Are you having a good time in the company 
of stimulating conversationalists, or do you come home fuming over 
all those “nitwitted numbskulls” in your reading group?
