The document provides guidance on time management tools including creating a default schedule to proactively manage one's time by blocking out times for must-do tasks, important reactions, and planning or office hours, rather than just reacting to what comes up; it also recommends keeping a task list to capture all to-dos with specifics on time needed and timing. The goal is to feel less stressed and more in control of one's time by being proactive rather than reactive.
