Due to their preference for planning and their attention to detail, the Sensing Judging types are generally considered natural [tag]organizers[/tag] with a strong attachment to schedules and deadlines. Most formal time management systems on the market were designed by and for SJ types. Although one ISTJ participant stated that he doesn’t use a time management system at all, the others showed a preference for a paper-based system. Most like the week-at-a-glance format, either the Day Runner® or the Taylor Planner®, because it allows them to visualize what they have to do. One student supplements her daily planner with a wall-mounted dry-erase calendar as well as a dry-erase board containing her weekly time map. ISFJ participants also showed a preference for a paper-based system. Although one stated that she loves technology and was given a [tag]Palm Pilot[/tag]®, she has no desire to give up her Day-Timer®, which has a monthly calendar that allows her to see her commitments at a glance. It also includes two pages for each day, with space for a to-do list and daily schedule, as well as blank space for jotting down phone messages and important thoughts. Others are less concerned with scheduling, but use daily to-do lists. The only ESFJ who responded to the survey indicated a preference for the Palm Pilot®, which allows her to easily search for and retrieve information and to sync with her Outlook® calendar. She prefers to use paper for ideas that she needs to “sketch” visually and for face-to-face situations with clients where the Palm Pilot® might seem a distraction or even rude. Unfortunately, no ESTJ’s took part in the survey, but according to Sandra Krebs Hirsch & Jean Kummerow, authors of LifeTypes, and Larry Demarest, author of Out of Time: How the Sixteen Types Manage Their Time and Work, ESTJ’s like to-do lists and use a calendar or planner to keep track of what has been done and what still needs to be addressed. ESTJ’s typically plan thoroughly, scheduling preparation time for meetings as well as for the meeting itself. Although a wide variety of systems were reported, due to their preference for Intuition, INtuitive Feeling types generally prefer time management systems that allow them to see the big picture.
