Monthly Time Management

In the book "Losing Control" it cites studies which show that when a person micro manages their days they are less likely to accomplish everything, to rebel against the stringent plan and more likely to feel failure.

However if a person manages their month - plans what they what to get done in that time frame without specifying when it will get done, this allows flexibility and still keeps them on track for getting what needs to get done. It also allows them to feel success even if there is a short setback such as getting sick and takes up less of their time with planning.
