Stop Wasting Time: A 15-minute Planning Session That Will Save You Hours

Pare de perder tempo: uma sessão de planejamento de 15 minutos que economizará horas

A few months ago, I went part-time at work. Há alguns meses, trabalhei meio período no trabalho.

I thought I would have a ton of extra time on my hands and life would be relaxing. Achei que teria muito tempo extra disponível e que a vida seria relaxante.

But, all of a sudden, I got even busier because I started committing to more things. Mas, de repente, fiquei ainda mais ocupado porque comecei a me comprometer com mais coisas.

It has been two months since I started this work-from-home parttime arrangement and each week I try something new to organize my time better and not overwork myself. Já se passaram dois meses desde que comecei esse acordo de meio período de trabalho em casa e a cada semana tento algo novo para organizar melhor meu tempo e não me sobrecarregar. 

I now take 15 minutes every Sunday to plan out my work week and to think about what my week is going to look like. Agora reservo 15 minutos todos os domingos para planejar minha semana de trabalho e pensar em como será minha semana.

It makes Monday morning much less stressful and helps me focus on the most important things. Isso torna a manhã de segunda-feira muito menos estressante e me ajuda a focar nas coisas mais importantes.

I actually print my time-management worksheets and you might think I am crazy that I don’t keep my calendar and task lists online, but I assure you I do. Na verdade, imprimo minhas planilhas de gerenciamento de tempo e você pode pensar que sou louco por não manter meu calendário e listas de tarefas online, mas garanto que sim.

As I have multiple calendars for my multiple jobs, my Sunday ritual consolidates all of these lists into one for the entire work week and helps me focus on the most important tasks for the week without getting overwhelmed. Como tenho vários calendários para meus vários trabalhos, meu ritual dominical consolida todas essas listas em uma para toda a semana de trabalho e me ajuda a focar nas tarefas mais importantes da semana sem ficar sobrecarregado.

What works for me may not work for you. O que funciona para mim pode não funcionar para você.

But, if you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed, try out my Sunday routine! Mas, se você está se sentindo sobrecarregado e estressado, experimente minha rotina de domingo! 

1. Sunday planning session: Sessão de planejamento de domingo:

Every Sunday, I set aside 15 minutes to plan out my upcoming work week. Todos os domingos, reservo 15 minutos para planejar minha próxima semana de trabalho.

I try to do it right before dinner so that I can relax during the evening and not think about work. Procuro fazer isso logo antes do jantar para poder relaxar à noite e não pensar no trabalho. 

2. Use a master calendar: Use um calendário mestre

I have a few different calendars I use for different jobs, which makes things complicated to manage. Tenho alguns calendários diferentes que uso para trabalhos diferentes, o que torna as coisas complicadas de gerenciar.

Planning out my week on one master calendar solves the problem. Planejar minha semana em um calendário mestre resolve o problema.

3. List out specific tasks: Liste tarefas específicas:

I write out specific tasks that I need to get done each week. Escrevo tarefas específicas que preciso realizar a cada semana.

These tasks are separated into different sections such as personal, delegate, blog, things to think about this week, my job, and notes. Essas tarefas são separadas em diferentes seções, como pessoal, delegado, blog, coisas para pensar esta semana, meu trabalho e notas.

This helps me prioritize everything in my long master list into just this week and see what is really important at a glance. Isso me ajuda a priorizar tudo em minha longa lista mestre apenas nesta semana e ver rapidamente o que é realmente importante.

This helps me answer the question “what do I absolutely need to get done this week?” Isso me ajuda a responder à pergunta “o que eu realmente preciso fazer esta semana?”

4. Set aside time blocks: Separe blocos de tempo:

Then I take what I have planned out for my week on my master task list and write it into my calendar with how much time I will need for each task. Depois pego o que planejei para minha semana em minha lista mestra de tarefas e escrevo em meu calendário com quanto tempo vou precisar para cada tarefa.

This helps me figure out what the focus of each day will be. Isso me ajuda a descobrir qual será o foco de cada dia.

Giving myself a time deadline makes sure that I am not goofing off on Facebook when I have a task I need to get done in 30 minutes. Definir um prazo para mim mesmo garante que não estou brincando no Facebook quando tenho uma tarefa que preciso realizar em 30 minutos.

5. Limit my time on certain tasks: Limitar meu tempo em certas tarefas:

I am the type of person that could work and work and work without stopping. Sou o tipo de pessoa que consegue trabalhar, trabalhar e trabalhar sem parar.

I now set a number of hours per week that I can ONLY work on certain items, such as this blog. Agora defino um número de horas por semana em que SÓ posso trabalhar em determinados itens, como este blog.

This has forced me to really prioritize what I need to get done and when, and it has forced me to really be productive and efficient with things such as “blog time.” Isso me forçou a realmente priorizar o que preciso fazer e quando, e me forçou a ser realmente produtivo e eficiente com coisas como “tempo de blog”.

You might think that this task of limiting my time would make my work products 1. ___ (bad) but it actually makes them 2. ___ (good) because I am 3. ___ (efficient) with the limited time that I do have. Você pode pensar que essa tarefa de limitar meu tempo tornaria meus produtos de trabalho 1. ___ (ruins), mas na verdade os torna 2. ___ (bons) porque sou 3. ___ (eficiente) com o tempo limitado que tenho.

After those 15 minutes of planning are up, that is the point where I take a deep breath and really start looking forward to my upcoming week. Depois que esses 15 minutos de planejamento terminam, é nesse momento que respiro fundo e realmente começo a ansiar pela próxima semana.

In my head, my week ahead seemed a lot crazier than it does when I write it all down on paper. Na minha cabeça, a semana que tinha pela frente parecia muito mais louca do que quando escrevo tudo no papel.

It is a great way to start your week off right! É uma ótima maneira de começar bem a semana!

🧩 Trecho principal do texto que responde à questão

“I now take 15 minutes every Sunday to plan out my work week and to think about what my week is going to look like.

It makes Monday morning much less stressful and helps me focus on the most important things.”

➡️ O objetivo da sessão de domingo é planejar a semana de trabalho para reduzir o estresse e focar no que é mais importante.

💬 ANÁLISE DAS ALTERNATIVAS:

What is the author’s main goal with the Sunday planning session? 

Qual é o principal objetivo do autor com a sessão de planejamento dominical?

🅐 ❌Relax during the evening and not think about work.

🔹Incorreta →Relaxar durante a noite e não pensar no trabalho.

🔹Pegadinha: Essa parte acontece depois da sessão de planejamento (“I try to do it right before dinner so that I can relax during the evening and not think about work.”).

🔹Ou seja, relaxar é uma consequência, não o objetivo principal da sessão.

🅑 ❌Create multiple calendars to organize work and personal tasks individually.

🔹Incorreta → Criar vários calendários para organizar tarefas pessoais e de trabalho individualmente.

🔹Pegadinha: O texto diz justamente o contrário.

“I have a few different calendars … Planning out my week on one master calendar solves the problem.”

🔹O objetivo é consolidar tudo em um único calendário, não criar vários.

🅒 ✅List out specific tasks for the entire work week. 

🔹CORRETA → Listar tarefas específicas para toda a semana de trabalho.

🔹A autora afirma que escreve as tarefas específicas para a semana:

🔹“I write out specific tasks that I need to get done each week.”

🔹Isso é parte central do planejamento de domingo, e o principal propósito é ter uma visão clara e organizada da semana para reduzir o estresse e aumentar o foco.

🅓 ❌Set aside time blocks to relax in between work tasks.

🔹Incorreta → Reservar blocos de tempo para relaxar entre as tarefas de trabalho.

🔹Pegadinha: Ela menciona “time blocks”, mas é para trabalhar com foco, não para relaxar.

🔹“Giving myself a time deadline makes sure that I am not goofing off on Facebook…”

🅔 ❌Have tons of extra time.

🔹Incorreta → Ter muito tempo extra.

🔹Pegadinha: O texto começa dizendo que ela pensou que teria mais tempo, mas acabou ficando mais ocupada.

🔹“I thought I would have a ton of extra time… but I got even busier.”
